A little experiment with dynamic range...which works better?
I tried to edit both for even, realistic looking exposure -- no crazy overcooked effects or anything. So, do you think either one is better or more successful and how so?
HDR:
Single Exposure:
(I used the brightest of the 3 bracketed shots for this, +1 EV, following the "expose to the right" rule of thumb for Canon...)
I agree completelyStealthy Ninja wrote: Yeh they look pretty similar. The single shot has a cool colour temperature and a little lower exposure in the darks. But IMHO looks more natural.
I think most of the time you don't need HDR to be honest. RAW has a pretty good dynamic range.
