Thanks, Paw Paw Bill. This explanation really helps me to understand what is happening with the whole process. I really appreciate it ! Nice to know the reason for it and how it works basically. I will use this in the future. I like the look of it so much. I have looked at the photomatix site and will try a free download soon. Do you use this one too?


I type slower than I can think (which is also getting slower since I passed 65). I left off a 'not' in my post. Digital cameras can NOT capture the full range of light in a single photo. Film can get more, but not all, unless you use special emulsions that probably are not available anymore (even they could not get it all).

I don't do much HDR, but, currently Photomatix is as good as it gets. Others may equal and I am sure that soon, they all will get better.

Thanks for the suggestion for doing HDR with one shot. I have a Nikon D 60 which has the capacity to brighten or darken shots in the camera after they are taken. Is that in camera process to approximate bracketing the same or diferent from what I would do in Photoshop by lightening and darkening the photo?

Not as good as three shots with exposure bracketing. But, if you can, do it with raw (.nef for Nikon). The jpg version will have already lost too much of the highlight and dark detail that is required to be really good. If you do it in camera, it is like working on raw, and you can export jpg that can be of some use. This is assuming your D60 will lighten/darken the sensor data and not a jpg copy on the memory card.

Even with raw export, three to seven shots (depending on light range in the scene) will be better.

yes, that'll work if u can gather all of them and have them as each a single shot and deal with them each individually , u can add them alltogether to get yer HDR. 3 to 5 totally. thats 2 or 4 + the correct 1. once u get thatc we can talk about photoshop. how's that? but , you'll need them both!

Yes, I sort of figured that you meant to say "not" capture. Thanks all the same...

According to Mark Galer in his book on PSE10 page 208 says HDR or Tonal mapping is accoplished using Camera raw. :)

My original question was: I can only take HDR bracketing with 2 shots. I wanted to know how to get 3 or more?

If it is a static scene, then reset the bracket setting pull the trigger again. If the scene has a lot of motion then under expose the first and over espose the second. Two may not be three, but are better than one. Motion here means objects move into or from the scene, not just water flow.

You should be able to adjust to go up to 9 exposures. I have used as many as 7. Such fun.

Try this.

Press the Fn button on the front of the camera. The rear (command) dial will control the number of exposures and the front dial will control the exposure increment settings.
And don't forget to set it back to 0 if you don't want multiple exposures!

Thanks, that did it. I can still only get 3 but that is OK!
