another camera setting challenge that i couldn't understand. would have to give it a go at some point though.

Interesting - how did you merge them, Sally?
December 2nd, 2012  
@automaticslim I have a HDR merge function in my Serif PhotoPlus. This is the first time I have used it! Will have to experiment more.
December 2nd, 2012  
Aah, I see. Is this a "raw" hdr then - not tonemapped in other words?
December 2nd, 2012  
@automaticslim Not raw but 3 jpeg shots. I still need to brave shooting raw!

Me neither - well not for hdr. What I meant was ... oh boy, this is difficult without descending into technobabble.

What my programme does is to take three or more files (jpeg thus far) and turn them into an hdr image which is some other format with the capacity to hold a greater depth of information. This file generally looks a bit flat because the monitor can't display the full depth. You then use a tonemapping operator to convert it into something which can be viewed on the monitor and saved as a jpeg. That's where the wild and wacky hdr effects appear if that's what you want ... so what I was wondering was whether this is a jpeg representation of the unmapped hdr.

If you're not confused by that, I am! I could demonstrate what happens though if you'd allow me to download this pic and run it through Luminance.

@automaticslim You are most welcome to download the picture and play with it! I have heard mention of tone mapping but have never delved into it. Guess I should do a tad of research!

Thanks Sally, I've just had a bit of fun with that. Coming up soon ...

This is far cuter than my moustache!
