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?
