HDR

You need to change your Drive Mode. It's currently set to Single shooting. It needs to be set to High-speed/Low-speed shooting. In Single shooting mode, you need to press the shutter 3 times, but with the other two modes, you only press the shutter once.

From what I understand he is only pressing the shutter once but is holding it down rather than being able to release it immediately and still get the three shots off.

Speaking of which, I'm sure I remember in the beginning when I set my camera to AEB, I squeezed the shutter only once, and it snapped all three shots. Now I have to keep it until all three exposures have been made.

// alternative, and i go with this method, is to use a remote cable that can lock.

If I'm using a tripod and in no hurry I'll just use the self timer to fire the three shots.

I haven't tried that. I always use the cable release when I'm on the tripod, but I haven't done any HDR (except a few hand-held ones) since buying the cable release...

Yup also a good way to go, I do the same thing i just use the cable to trigger all three at once so to speak

Just thought I'd wake this thread up again. Often, you have a situation, where you need just a bit of a boost in the shadows or knocking down on the highlights. In this case, contrast masking can be your friend. However, the method is a bit painful, and sometimes if the blur radius is too large, you get horrible haloes. I recently found a contrast mask plug-in (freeware) which handles everything rather nicely:

This pic was brightened using the plugin (PSP X2)

I thought .8bfs worked on macs :confused:

I know they are painful to use with the Gimp on Linux (and Windoze for that matter)...
