I had not seen this technique before but it looks interesting. I think you would need to shoot in JPEG to be able to handle all the files. I know the time lapse I did recently the camera would only shoot in JPEG. Also I shot 6000 photos so RAW would have been a nightmare anyway.
Wow 6000?? Have you posted the end image?
Making layers went fine, but I wanted to adjust some of the blown out places, this it couldnt do. But guess it doesn't really matter, in the end result, actually.

Other than this, even though I am kind of pleased with my latest results, I am having a 'bad' photographing period, I feel limited with what I can do/know so far, so I don't advertise, and therefore don't really get any jobs.
Maybe its healthy to have a break.
Also think I need something for inspiration and to learn more. Could be this rainy weather doesn't help either. Today we even had a storm (you would probably laugh if you had been here, I know you got some really crazy weather over in US).
