Thought you might be interested in this bit of geek. Shooting yesterday over a burn area from one of many fires this summer, the sun was a bit above the horizon and I realized the dynamic range of the shot I wanted was probably more than even a 5 AEB shot would get so I shot a 5 Auto Exposure Bracketed images and then moved - probably the shutter speed … a stop and a third I guessed…and shot another 5 so I would get a broader dynamic range. The Aurora HDR plugin I use with Lightroom brought all of them together really well, ranging from -1.3 EV to + 1.7 in perfect .3 stop changes. I lucked out on the shutter speed change as I didn’t actually calculate it I just bumped it where I thought it would be about right. 55 years of photog helps
. Here’s a screenshot of the Aurora HDR screen and the resulting image. I would add - Isn't fire fickle?
