Mate..I say Tosh I say Ian I say bud.. I am shootin for the ferkin stars but by Jimminy its hard to get on the The Naked Self section of The Mirror Project Site Owen O'Meara (A Yank in paddy clothing..who is a contributor to this site BTW) has set the challenge..forget Hudi she is a wanker as is Collie her famous lapdog...(talk about a mutual admiration society) 24 bit wha...?? or as my boys would say defark?? NFI which is a TLA (three letter anagram for No Ferkin Idea) mate the cam is capable of far more than me..but I ask not of the camera but of myself.. nyte dude.. roll Tasman roll

Yes of course I am Rina :) but Judi soared in her ability to finish her images, your finishing is pretty damn flash Rina. I think she used double exposures in some of her seascapes.
Are we not talking about a process by which we can, for example, expose for the sky and expose for the shadows in this scene.
Roger aren't you shooting a mega (24) bit rate image processing whoppa leaving this process less relevant than it is for other cameras?
Hudi may have been a typo but why not run with it, set up a membership for her and get ourselves blackballed from the club I say.

Have to agree with Anna, HDR on elements that move don't work too well. Unless you bracket of course, but then that only gives three exposures (well, the pentax does anyway) and apparently it works better if spread up to 9 (I think?), which means wasting time flicking settings. LJ and I tried it a few weeks ago with shots of the harbour. Still confused by results. Your idea of blending layers sounds like a good solution and probably allows more control anyway.
Hey Ian, so you're saying folk in Dunners think I'm a basket case???? ;^)

Hudi Liosatos, basketcase sister to the better known Judi Liosatos, actually it might have actually been her.

half the time, I can't be blown capitalizing. microsoft need to develop touchless mind-to-keyboard software :) no sweat roger.

Sorry Anna "toad" is a typo for to add.. OK I usually do my comments in word but naturally toad is not going to report to a spellchecker... woops.. why dont Microsoft develop a context checker as well kekeke

yeah Anna you are right ..its interesting that all the examples of the technique on the site in the link were architectural with one exception taken in the Grand Canyon … subjects that are hardly gonna run away or in the case of the Grand Canyon the closest object (the canyon rim) looks about two kilometres away, so any movement would be virtually undetectable.. so but reading the blurb led me to discover that the HDR capability is not in CS but only in CS2 but I did discover a cute merge tool and played with that and got some interesting results so the comment was not a complete loss.. I also wonder if juts shooting as per the directions and then putting them together in layers and erasing the unwanted bits out of each layer would not achieve the same thing.. I will try that when I get a chance In the case of this shot movement may have been an issue and so the HDR tech may not have worked.. but I would hasten toad that when it comes to UF upload I generally keep my processing pretty simple.. adj levels resize and that’s about it.. unless a shot looks obviously manipulated which I do as well but not often with landscape.. its just an ethics thing ..bloody Walker Evans spoiled it for all of us kekeke

problem with hdr though, is that if any part(s) of the scene moves, the results can look blurred or just plain messy. not trying to turn you off, but it isn't magic either. DS sounds very excited and wants the world to know too. can't blame him, and yet I'd still much rather do the job right first time round. great leans here roger.

"thorny king of light" is an interesting critique but a typo. :)

I'll check those links out. Can't for the life of me suss how to whenever I've pondered it meself. I have gorundless esthetic prejudices against it but a truer way of capturing light when you think about it.

Well it's a thorny king of light possibly worthy of overcoming this light. Never tried it meself. When Hudi started using it was a real revolution for her.

Your dynamic range is a bit too small.
Have you tried HDR (high dynamic range) imaging? It's a really fantastic method that enables you to capture both a deep shadow detail and a highlight detail. Using a tripod you shoot a couple of different exposure photos (2EV apart) to cover the whole dynamic range of the scene. Then you combine these images with a PS CS, Photomatrix or some other HDR enabled software. Using an advanced tone mapping you then 'collapse' the 32bit/chanel HDR image to 8bit while preserving all of the original detail. The results can be fantastic!
Take a look at:

Have fun!
