I don't use Lightroom, but I do love and use HDR photography. (I use Photomatix Pro for HDR.) On my cameras I like to shoot from 3 to 9 pictures, depending on how much light contrast is present in the picture. For instance, if I am shooting interiors and there is sunlight streaming in a window, I might have to use 9 or 11 or more shots to combine for 1 shot that shows details within shadows in the room, and shows the landscape outside without the window looking "blown out". My main issue with AEB on the Spark, is the amount of exposure difference between the 3 shots. Spark only has .7 EV (Exposure Value) difference between the shots. When I do HDR photography, I use a 2 EV difference. (almost 3 times the difference the Spark uses) I would really love to see more exposures (at least 5, as you suggested), but also I would like to see a variable EV difference setting for AEB. However, being practical, I doubt we will see this. All in all, the Spark has amazing capabilities considering its small size.
Yes, you have nailed what I was trying to say. Only 3 shots with 0.7 EV between them is not enough contrast from one end to the other to be able to have a lot to work with. I think next time instead of relying on the AEB feature, I'll try to manually capture multiple images with a higher degree of exposure difference between them.
Having said all that, I thought the final result in my test came out pretty good considering the inputs I was working with. |
