Appropriate HDR?

I agree with this guy. I had a HDR hype a little while ago and recently figured out that my XT has a setting to do multiple exposures pressing the shutter one time.

However, I do like the last pic you posted most (the non-HDR)

how do you do all of the exposures at once?

the non-hdr is better. HDRs are fine if you like that style just so long as there aren't a bunch of halos.

Most Canon's can take 3 exposures with up to +-2ev spacing with one shutter press. Now getting all of the exposures at once might be a trick.

Thanks for telling us what determines good HDR's...I must of missed that universal lesson! Next can you tell us what makes B&W images suitable?

Sorry Jbs I just couldn't resist poking a little fun at your statement. I do agree with your assessment though, his last image is the better of the three.

You can also adjust it anywhere in between...

I think you left out some vital info Corzy.

After initiating the AEB you need to set the camera to continuous mode and use the timer to have the camera rattle them off in an automatic rapid succession in order to have it in one press of the shutter button ...or without the timer you can still use the continuous mode but you must depress the shutter button and hold through the sequence.

Shhhhh... That's the secret to not moving the camera!! LOL
