A few years ago while traveling thru Ut/Az with a new camera I started to expose a image at -1, 0, +1. After a while I decided that the 0 image was about on so I stopped (unfortunately). Last year I purchased Photomatix (HDR) and processed these images. I have tried to keep the images toned down and more natural. I have also tried processing a single RAW image at -2, -1, +1, +2 then processing various combinations thru Photomatix. It seems like my best results were at -1, +1. Technically I understand that's not the best but probably ok but for the most critical individuals.
I have recently purchased a camera capable of taking 9 images from -4 to +4 at 6 frames/sec. I haven't tried that yet as I'm still learning to use the camera. Maybe it will be a excuse to take another trip.
One thing I do like about HDR is that it picks up detail in the shadows without using a flash. The image of the P51 is a good example.
There are so many sites on the internet with spectacular images. Like HDR is catching on.
Thanks Joe S
