Even if you can't actually take a bracketed sequence, you can quickly change the setting without looking after a little practice or without moving the camera on the tripod.

I'm certain you can do auto exposure bracketing. My S5 does it, so surely Canon would have extended that mode to their range of DSLRs (inc. the 40D)

D40x is a Nikon

I was thinking 40D instead of D40, whoops, my bad, ignore that

With the Nikon's....

D40/D60 doesn't have a bracketing button.

D80/D90 only does 3 exposures, D300 and above up to 9 exposures.

Here are some more.... all 3 exposures.... again click the pic for a larger version.

Had some of them printed today, the first one and the bike look awesome in large format !!!





and another version of the above, looks like a painting...


Can u see the ghost !!

Matt, what Tone maps and settings did you use for some of those?
Which Tonemaps do you find most successful?

So far I've found Fattal gives the most interesting results. No noise reduction gives surreal effects and full noise reduction gives fairly realistic results.

Using Photomatix, no specific settings though as every photo is different and if there is noise that i don't like i put it though noise ninja!

I remembered from back on about Page 1 that you were using Photomatix.

As I have mentioned I was using Qtpfsgui, but I thought some of the algorithms or Tonemaps might be common.

Qtpfsgui offers Mantiuk, Fattal, Drago, Durand, a few versions of Reinhard and a couple of others. They seem to have different controls and give different results. I think they are named after the people who developed the algorithm. Does Photomatix use any of these?

I had expected that different photos would need different setting and even different Tonemaps to get best results, but I was hoping that if our programs had some things in common, it might give me some ideas.

Maybe they don't have enough in common to make it worthwhile, but I just thought I would ask.
