[QUOTE="Lee, post: 146822, member: 8142"] I want to try out some HDR. I have watched plenty tutorials, downloaded the trial version of Photomatix Pro and played around with sample images to find my way around and get a feel for it and I am going to purchase the full version, so that's the software side taken care of for now. I know it will take time for me to develop my own style etc so that will take its course naturally. (FWIW I do have Lightroom 4 and do not have Photoshop or any other editing software). I am going away in a few weeks for 3 days with my camera and hoping to get some nice photos of a railway museum and thought it would be great to take plenty of bracketed shots for any that I think would/could work nicely in HDR. So here come the questions: I will have a tripod and will have plenty memory cards so that's all checked off the list Do you always shoot in aperture priority mode? (I get the depth of field issue here but wondered if there was anything else I need to know) Are 3 bracketed shots enough or does anyone go with 5, and if so, what are the benefits/drawbacks, if any Do you shoot in raw + jpg or does anyone just shoot in raw? I ask this because I have not been saving jpgs lately and wonder if I need to remember to change that while I am out and about. Any other do's and don'ts that I may have missed would be appreciated :) [/QUOTE]
