Well,hopefully you have an easier time with C3 than I do. I have problems finding the pics I want and everything.

Here's one I did of my back yard real quick. I wanted to test this program. Besides the shitty watermark it's super easy to use. But I used my Digital Rebel to knock out 3 bracketted shots in the RAW.

I think it looks pretty fucking cool.

Here's another I ripped off real quick from my couch. It's not as good...but it's also shot handheld and not on a tripod.

Are you using that program Ebbs recommended or doing something else?

I'm using the one ebbs linked earlier in this thread....I get water marks. I dont know if he actually paid for it or what. But the free version is watermark jones. And insanely easy.

However, I have not figured out how to do the psuedo-HDR with one image.

yeah I bought it... though ya might check out some torrent sites to maybe get an unlocked verson.

the single photo version is alot easier IMO... as you can turn off the align images option cause well... it's the same image

and with Raw... it really does come out well.

oh and to do that you just open up Lightroom or a similar program where you can adjust the exposure value... save the origional, then adjust the exposure to - save it as another name, then do the same for + exposures... (I usually do several -'s and several +'s to get a better blending result)

those both look good Marko. though your last shot shows the drawback of doing a TRUE HDR photo as you got a bit of ghosting. were you just taking it by hand?

Yeah I was sitting on the couch...just hand held and snapped three shots.

The outside one I had the camera resting on the railing of my porch. The outside one looks really cool to me.

yeah they're both really nice... I like the inside ones...
