As the sky was still pretty overcast, it offered an excellent opportunity to try out this new fangled HDR photography thing that all of the trendy kids are doing these days. As my Sony Alpha only facilitates +/-0.7eV exposure bracketing, to get a good range of exposures, I took two sets - one at -1.0eV +/-0.7eV and another at +1.0eV +/-0.7eV. This gave me six photos over a 3.4eV range to use as input to Photomatix.
Considering it was my first attempt and I took the photos hand-held, I thought the end result came out quite well. There are a lots of settings in Photomatix, so it’ll likely take a while to work out which settings yield the best results in what circumstances.
Note that because I’m using a trial version of the Photomatix software, it’s putting watermarks on the photos. If I give them $100, it will take them away again. I’m waiting to see how much use I get out of it before I pay them.
