if you want to shoot multiple exposures handheld...you can try setting your camera on AEB and shoot on burst mode...see how that works for you

is learning to moonwalk i
i take 1 shot and run it through LR and create 3 exposures @ -2,0,+2 then run it through photomatix...it does create more noise...

I do shoot AEB in burst mode, but there is still some movement of the camera and the surroundings.
Here's one with lots ove movement because of shutter speed. I actually used a triped for this one. Still working on cleaning up some cranes, but wanted to post anyway.

This was taken with the tokina 11-16 2.8
I really love these angles.

I miss my 03 CL-S :(
Here's a couple from Saturday:
I'm still trying to get the hang of Photomatix without them looking overcooked. The results are certainly easier than with CS2.

I've never experienced the holidays with snow... around here, unless you're living in the mountains... it'll never happen. Yeah, the summers are awesome, but still... would be nice to have the 4 seasons here.

What type of dSLR are you guys using & what exposure settings points are setting up on AEB, or is this purely software? Excuse my noob questions but I'm interested in doing HDR shots with my newly purchased D90.

I use a D60, which does not have a bracketing mode. I do the same as Drigo and shoot in RAW, and then create two or four additional exposures through software. I then use Photomatix to combine and process them.

Thanks.. so do you guys recommend just shooting RAW or is there a benefit to doing AEB other than space on the memory card. I'll read the tutorials and do a couple of experiments with some of the originals posted in this thread to see if I can return some of the same results. Great images guys..

I shoot in raw when i do HDR, the quality to jpegs is a total difference. But i do shoot both raw and auto process jpeg. That way you can have a small file if you are to lazy to post process. I just shoot it AEB with -2 0 +2. Im not sure if there is a difference if this was to be done in post process.

There are people that argue whether or not shooting HDR photography using RAW images is true HDR photography. Given that HDR photography is about the processing, I don't believe that. Their argument typically is that shooting in RAW creates more noise. If you get noise in your image, no matter how you shoot, just run it through noise ninja to eliminate it.
To me their are a few benefits to shooting in RAW. First and foremost, my camera doesn't do bracketing, so I would have to manually change the exposure and shoot multiple shots. This would definitely cause my to move and create blurred images when combined in processing. Secondly, and this is almost an extension of what I just said, shooting in AEB can also create a blur. If you are taking a picture of a building for example, and there is a flag on a mast at the top. When you shoot in AEB, you will see a blur if their is any wind after you combine in processing. Shooting in RAW utilizes only one original image so it will not have this blur. Third, it's just quicker. I take ALL my pictures in RAW. It takes a few more minutes to convert all my pictures when I want to view them, but in the end I have a digital negative of every picture I take.
So really you can take them either way, and either way should produce great results. Its more int he processing then which format you use to take the picture. After a while you will find the real gift is in eyeing a scene that you know will make a nice HDR image. Good luck.
