    Hi Alistair I wondered if you would answer a question, did you take 9 images and make them into 3 hdrs then merge them again..thanks Pat

  • Alistair Wilson

    Alistair Wilson in reply to patriciaann1’s comment, 4 months ago

    yep, thats how i did it

  • Jason Connolly

    Jason Connolly, 4 months ago

    Superb shot Alistair, love the perspective,details colours and light…
    You mention 9 shots, 3 HDrs, does this make a significant difference to the finished shot?

  • Alistair Wilson

    Alistair Wilson in reply to Jason Connolly’s comment, 4 months ago

    i mean 9 shots in the sense that i have just stitched 3 HDR shots together. If i had taken just one hdr shot ( 3 images) i wouldnt have been able to capture the whole laneway with my non wide lense (18 – 55)

  • Jason Connolly
