the fuji s6000 will bracket exposures. and paint shop pro XII has an hdr merger function. these aren't as classy as many i've seen. has anyone else been giving this a try?

Hi Wayne,

You have managed to avoid the 'there is something not quite right here' feeling I get when I see a lot of HDR images with the first and last images. The others do show it but perhaps that was your intention.

The whole concept of this multi bracketing opens up a whole raft of possibilities I think. Especially if the aim is create something new rather than increase a little shadow/highlight range in a 'straight' intended image.

Wayne,
first attempts , and some of the pictures on flickr , can make you wonder what its all about. Multi bracketing is ok but .. the Ricoh GX100 doesnt do it in RAW and it only takes 3 images. Potentially the fact of only have JPG is not a problem. still it works. But I have had an instance where the application I use, even with a single shot converted to 3 or 5 exposues, cannot align the picture due to complexities in the image. I gave up on that experiment as i didnt feel up to aligning the images manually. Another is windy days and trees. Ghosting occurs. As well as the classic of a bike going through when taking the shot...
I found that you have to go lightly with the image controls. The defaults give some cartoon like effects most times. I am using DynamicPhoto HDR trial.

Like your mountain views- Yellow sky is nice.

I agree completely. love the first and last
Some HDR's I see seem like something is 'off', none of yours do that BTW
well done!!!
