I have done photography for a pretty long time, starting back in 2008. But I never ventured into HDR and photo bracketing. I was usually taking images of things in nature that were constantly in motion. But anywho…I have a new gig where I will be shooting stationary objects. And since I am anti-Adobe I am going to be using Photomatix Pro for my HDR merging. Today I was using the free version to test it out. It’s pretty amazing to work with. It totally changes the way you think about photos, setting them up, establishing what bracketing/exposure ranges work. 

This is just one test shot I took of my car. One click of the button, 3 bracketed shots, one merged image in the software with some tinkering. I mean…it’s rough still but for a quick experiment, quite a lot of fun.
