[HDR-photo] HDRI Book and Jpeg brackets

[Perry Frantzman]

I too shoot Pano and HDR.
I shoot in RAW
Process in Photomatix than stitch in PTGui and than adjust the finished
through Dynamic HDR and finish with LightZone.
The Dynamic HDR does not handle ghosting as well as Photomatix but the
processing through Dynamic HDR allows me more wow.
I have been experimenting with shooting with RAW and than processing the 0
EV through Dynamic HDR and than Lightzone.
Be Well
Perry
PS.
Just received the book from Amazon in the mail even though an email informed
me that it would be due in December.
