I'm not entirely familiar with HDR, but my understanding is that you take a group of pictures and merge them into one, and I take from your OP that you adjust the exposure on each one...

Question - exposure is something you can adjust in post-processing with a RAW image, is it not? So could you take one picture in RAW format, create 3 or 5 or however many TIFFs/JPEGs you want, and then use photoshop to create an HDR image out of a single source image essentially?

Because that would really kick ass.

Also, do you have a link to a good tutorial on HDR?

I know they say that you have 2 stops of corrective power with raw. The problem is if the data was never there, you can't get it from nowhere. It may work some. Go ahead and try it. Sadly, I can only shoot with jpg.

I had bought me a pentax *ist earlier, but had to return it.

All I have is my 610 canon.

I'll try it when the wife gets home and shows me how to switch the camera to RAW. :)

I don't think so.

I guess since the megapixel war is over, this might be one of these 'next generation' features.

How many stops of corrective power for exposure do you have with say, TIFF? My Sony DSC-V1 doesn't do RAW, only Fine/Standard JPEGs and TIFF. Gotta convince dad that we "need" that DSC-R1 :evil:

I am obviously not a photographer.
I compare the "HDR" to the "original" and all I think it "Gee, its a bit darker...."

Sorry, I'm a photo noob. :(
