OMINOUS CLOUDS AT SUNSET - ISO 80 - A HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE IMAGE

Three individual images ("normal" exposure, -2 exposure and +2 exposure) were combined, using Photomatix Pro software, in aperture priority mode. Vibrant Color film mode. Automatic white balance. 35mm focal length equivalent of 90mm.

1/1000s f/4.5 at 19.2mm iso80 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

I am just getting into HDR imaging and have not tried doing anything in RAW. It sounds like an interesting technique and I'll have to give it a go. What's the best software for working with Panny RAW images?

Bill...always enjoy your shots. I'm in Charlotte, but visit the mountains around Blowing Rock and Little Switzerland several times a year. Follow you links from DPReview. have a question. I do a tiny bit of HDR with my LX3. However, I shoot RAW and process differently. I'll develop from the same Raw a zero file, a minus file and a plus file and then HDR those three. Because even a fast photo series will likely have some movement between the three shots, starting with a single RAW and developing off that removes all possibility of movement, and thus reduces softness in the combined HDR. Do you ever do that? (I use Zoner Photo Studio 14). Putting same comment on DPR site.

Pretty spectacular. You're getting a nice hand on the HDR thing.
