Brackets

With each HDR photo, there is a question, how much brackets should you take. For this photo, I used 7. For 90% of all my shots, I use only three shots. This is mostly due to convenience, as taking more on a Canon camera is not so straightforward (and usually not practical). But from my experience, I have noticed a difference between three bracket shots and 7-9 bracket shots. The HDR’s from more shots, are in my opinion, better. The added data really helps to bring out all the detail in a scene and the transitions between dark a light areas, are more gradual, making less problems.

But there are still scenes, where there is no difference. If there is a small dynamic range in the scene your’re photographing, there is no use for the additional shots. But scenes like this, where there is a very high difference between the dark and light areas, it’s really better to go with more shots.

The beauty of Nature

I just love how this one turned out. It even is my current desktop wallpaper (and I never use my own photos as wallpapers :) ). This was such a lovely sunset last weekend. All the green colors, with the sun shining through. It was just beautiful. The only thing I regret, that I forgot my IR filter, because I think that It would create great results in such light. Maybe next time :)
