To bracket, or not to bracket, .. (Page 5): Does that mean your clicking the shutter five times, or does the camera take five exposures with one click? I just had to laugh out loud!

I do a five frame bracket (+2, +1, normal, -1, -2) in almost all of my shooting gives me a great deal of creative possibilities not only HDR

I just had to laugh out loud! Nearly brought tears to my eyes.

Doug, I re-read the book section for bracketing the various features on my D7000 and practiced and found I DO need to open the shutter manually for each bracketed shot (unless also setting it on multi FPS). So, please let me know why you found my previous question hilarious? Am I missing something? It's bothering me, and I know you weren't being mean spirited, so, I'd really like to know...thanks.

It was an Eureka! moment. You described my ideal camera!
With one "click", my camera makes seven seperate exposures, 1-stop seperated in exposure (which is not too-far from a single RAW capture).

In forty years, I have witnessed auto-exposure, auto-focus, auto ISO selection, Active D-lighting, programed exposure bracketing, and the HDR phenomenon. Is one-click multiple exposure next?

I just checked with my daughter that has that camera, you can set it to bracket only 3 frame bracket, but you can do anything from 1/3 of a stop too 3 stops. You can also set it for continous shooting so you just hold the shutter button down and three shots will fire off.

I must congratulate you for showing some of the better HDR photos. I've seen a lot of them that made me wonder if HDR was worth the broo-ha-ha people post.

Your images are very nice. They POP in a realistic manner, and that's what I strive to learn to create. I know I have a lot to learn about basic exposure before getting into HDR. I see you used Photomatix, why did you choose that one over the others available?

Thanks,
Jeffrey

I completely agree! I am not a fan of uber-HDR. Arnold's HDR images are very pleasing.

I've just looked at the HDR link - they're very nice photographs - good color - pleasing tones - great details where you want and need them! Nice job!

It is available on the Nikon D5100.

Hi,

For what is worth I just watched an AdobeTV on Photoshop elements that showed how to make things POP using a layers filter.

Someone more expert than I would have to explain what I saw. I have to review these things several times before they stick.

Hi,

If you go to Adobe TV you'll find many. You might start here: http://tv.adobe.com/search/?q=elements

I looked at a huge bunch of "tips". Each was about a minute long. I'd identify the specific one if I could but alas didn't jot it down.

You might learn something from every one though!
