:: HDR once again...

[Jakob Laursen]

I have used single images shot in raw with different exposure
settings in Adobe Camera Raw to make HDR:s, here's one example:

Wow, I've heard that you couldn't use one single image, but appearently you can. This looks great.

Yup, there's really nothing to it. Just adjust the exposure compensation in ACR, make a dark and light exposure, or as many as you like.

Then just add them as new layers in your image and blend them using the Lighten / Darken mode in you blending options, adjust the opacity to your liking.

One more for the road:

I kinda think you overdid it. The foreground competes with the background since it so light. Maybe you need to grad the foreground so it is darker near the camera and get progressively lighter as it approaches the horizon.

I am also experimenting with HDR, here is my latest. This jpeg lost a lot of detail when I converted it from 32 bit .tiff to an 8 bit low res jpeg. I like to make my HDR look like a painting rather than a photo.

The EV was -3 EV and +3 EV.

Oh, sorry, hadn't noticed that... 2 images...

I don't think you have enough images. The people I've been working with shoot many images. Most I know use 9 images with EV differences of 1 EV between -4 EV and +4 EV. The D2X can bracket at 1 EV for up to 9 images automatically giving you this range. The problem is that you then have nine images you need to process. The benefit is that it can be done with a single push of a cable with the camera set to take 9 images continuous sequences.

I think you should add one image at EV 0 to balance the lights and the darks.
