[QUOTE="TedG954, post: 338567, member: 9701"] I note that some folks post-process 5, or more, photos to produce an HDR image. What is the benefit of more than 3 images? My D800 can shoot up to 9 frames to bracket. Four over and four under. If I shoot +/- 1 for the 9 frames, I would get: +4, +3, +2, +1, 0, -1, -2, -3, -4 In post-processing all 9 frames, wouldn't the +4 and -4 cancel out the other exposures? I always thought that the ability to shoot 5, 7, or 9 exposures was to pick and choose the one that best fine tunes your photo; Like +3, 0, -4, or +2, 0, -1. Can anyone show that post-processing more than three exposures enhances the final result? :confused: [/QUOTE]
