| 840316 | 2009-12-16 18:46:00 | Anyone dabbled in this? It looks kinda interesting I notice there's a lot of software, some to buy, some free. I wonder what would be the best free software, to start with? |

| 840317 | 2009-12-16 19:33:00 | Look up "Enfusealign". Not exactly HDR but that can be an advantage. | PaulD (232) | ||
| 840318 | 2009-12-16 20:20:00 | Try QTPFSGUI (http://qtpfsgui.sourceforge.net/) an open source project geared at HDR photography | AvonBill (11358) | ||
| 840319 | 2009-12-16 20:50:00 | You can download a demo Photomatix and it is pretty straightforward. http://www.hdrsoft.com/ You take some shots in diff brightness - exposures and dump it into the software and then hit tone mapping I think and there is 2 modes in there you can choose and alter some bars around. Sometimes you can bump off the extreme dark or bright image and it may work better. If you have people moving etc .. it may pay to use one mid image and just work with that. I got a book from the library and it sorta went on those lines. |

| 840320 | 2009-12-17 00:49:00 | Thanks for those responses. I gather from what I've read so far, that even a compact will do a good job, provided it has the ability to bracket shots. I currently have a Panasonic Lumix TZ15 and it can do this. Like you suggest Nomad, maybe getting hold of a book would clear it up a bit, answer a few questions. |

I currently have a Panasonic Lumix TZ15 and it can do this . I have a Panasonic Lumix FZ8 which can bracket too . However my DSLR - the Nikon D60, does not ! Still I love it in many other ways ! :wub It's all a compromise !! ::crying Misty |
