I actually have no clue what I'm doing when it comes to taking pictures. I'm not even sure what "Merge to HDR" is... Bodies: 1d mkIII, 30D, 20D,

In a scene such as yours the brightest highlights and the deepest shadows must fit into a scale of values from 0 to 255 (black to white). If the range of brightnesses gets jammed into that number space improperly, you lose detail at one end of the scale or the other (sometimes at both ends). In such a case shooting in RAW mode greatly enhances your chances of saving detail where you want it before it gets committed to an end-use format, such as JPG. In extreme cases, "Merge to HDR" can take two or more separate images of the same scene and process them so as to take the highlight information from one, the mid tone region from a second and the shadow region from a third, combining them all into one image with the best possible apportioning of detail. Ah, that makes sense. Wow, is that Merge to HDR accurate? How much of it is automatic, and how much of it do you have to clean up after? Bodies: 1d mkIII, 30D, 20D,
