Bloke Loc: Waynesboro, Pennsylvania

Not the ideal subject for HDR, but I wanted to try it. I didn't know if he would sit still enough - the SX50 is not the fastest of cameras! There was a little bit of movement, but PS was able to get rid of the ghosts.

Bloke,

Nice try, I am sure you enjoyed experimenting with the HDR captures and processing. There is something I cannot identify in your finale image, the paws have some type of artifact showing, and the nose as well.

When photographing a subject that is likely to move between the compensated exposures, select instead a single image with -1Ev, and a second one at -2Ev. Process the images as a normal exposure and forget about HDR. This will give you images where there is no ghosting, the subject should be captured in pin sharp focus, and the background (skylight) should be reduced considerably.

Almost no difference

I see what you mean, but I am not sure what caused that. Maybe he did move, and it confused the anti-ghost process?

I did take several 'regular' pictures of him and a friend. When I first came across them, I had been taking HDR bracketed shots, and I just left the settings the same for a while.

I know. I knew it wasn't the greatest of subjects, but I was doing a whole bunch of HDR shots, and I just left it going. I wasn't sure it would work. There isn't a whole lot of difference, but the sky comes out a bit better, and I think the tree stems have a bit more oomph to them.

Bloke,

If you are truly capturing images for HDR, and you have set the camera to capture exposures with Exposure Compensation, then you can open any of the under exposed images and process that as a normal capture.

Fee free to send my your images of the Ev captures of the Squirrel, and I will see what i can do, or comment on the exposures.
