[QUOTE="RocketCowboy, post: 587626, member: 25095"] GND lowers the DR of the scene so that it fits into the DR of the camera. One image, with the camera's DR, with the highs and lows properly represented. Less post processing required. HDR/Bracketing takes multiple shots across the scene's DR, basically layering the cameras DR across the scene, and then blends them in post processing for a composite image that could not be capture in-camera within the camera's DR. The end result is dependent on the post processing tools used, and is a result that could not be captured in a single image with the camera's DR alone. To me, if the scene lines up geometrically where a GND can be used, that's the best use case because it keeps be from being behind the keyboard. More complex scenes may not lend themselves to a GND being effective, in which case bracketing and HDR could be the best way to recreate the image. [/QUOTE]
