So @miseria challenged me to trying out the in camera HDR mode..... I found the relevant pages in the manual and had a bit of a read - must admit there were bits where I was *huh?* The weather had been grey and dull so I waited to give it a try. While waiting for the ferry heading into the city I thought "s#it get pushed! So I go to menu and find the HDR - hmmm - can't do with current camera settings - remembered you couldn't do RAW and remembered with multiple exposure you couldn't use live view - fixed that - still a no go hahaha - googled on my phone and also needed to be M A or S settings - fixed that - yay! I can now go to HDR mode. I could remember nothing of what I read about other things to do or change so it was HDR mode series of images strength on AUTO.
Now we all know I don't cart around a tripod - and I am now on the ferry - which - surprisingly - moves hahaha - but what the heck let's give it a go!
Now I didn't think this one was an HDR - until I uploaded and looked at the cars on the bridge - obviously I need to fix settings to get better contrast in images and of course keep things still - but at least I know where to go.
This was the stillest of the images I took.
Holy Smokes! I could never remember all those settings at one time! After all that it's a great photo. From your angle I don't see how the cars could be any different than they are, because there's a screen fence along the bridge, right?
Great shot! So good to see you persevering with this technique. I think HDR is best when you have deep shadows that lose their details. You set your exposure compensation where those details will get brought out and not over expose the rest.
I think ....
@farmreporter thanks Wendy...I definitely need to look into it more and understand all the settings...my brain has trouble with all the technical stuff haha

I do like the ghost like procession of cars on the bridge.
