[Leica] the problem with HDR is ....

[abridge at gmail.com (Adam Bridge)]

I thought one was supposed to shoot something on the order of an 8
stop range to make best use of HDR. I certainly can't argue, though,
with what I've seen.

A few years ago I shot a bracketed set of 8 images using my 1Ds Mk II
while I was in Milwaukee -- that fabulous museum along the lake by the
Spanish architect that opens up like it has wings.

anyway, CS1 had a bad time with it because even though the camera was
mounted on a tripod there were still small variations in position from
vibrations. As I recall I even had mirror lock set up but just
depressing the shutter button was enough to subtly change the camera's
position. I am not willing to spring for the electronic shutter
release. Perhaps I should.

So I haven't been too interested in trying it again although the M8
seems a good candidate for it.


Thanks for sharing everyone, and Mark thanks for posting the links. I
enjoyed the video a whole lot, and agree with you, because it's not so
perfect it feels more real.

Go figure.
