Exposure Blending - Any Wabbers Doing It?

[acherontia]

Well - today I shall mostly be doing.......(Fastshow voice) HDR in my new PS CS4 extended. Still waiting for the PS lightbox yet..
I have the pre exposed images ready and have read up about the varience in bpc between wot can be viewed on a monitor and wot is needed for printing...etc etc At least I think that's what it meant
I really don't like some examples of HDR I've seen. Some are 'overcooked' as Whiskey bottle described it, although his first image was only just edging there. I've seen some that are positively garish and I'll try to avoid that.
My tutorial also says you need a minimum of 3, with 2 EV stops between the exposures and shutter speed should be used rather than f value - for obvious reasons. Auto bracketing is not recommended (it took a lot longer manually) as the changes are usually too small...

Wish me luck!!!

I use exposure blending on a lot of my images. I used to use Photomatix to generate HDR using Details Enhancer and the Exposure Blending functions.

Now though, I use Ps to manually blend images using the DRI technique, which I think offers a more realistic image than HDR generally.
