Bleak

Nearly called this “Success From A Stuff Up” I was setting up the camera to bracket 3 shots for a HDR, when I checked the histogram, I couldn’t see any difference, so I shot at 2 stops apart, again, they viewed on the back of the camera all three the same. After a few attempts, Doh! I had bracketed the WB, not exposure. So, bracketed the exposure and fired off again, What was all those shots for I was thinking? Realised I left WB bracketing on, OK, not having a good day. So I just processed these 9 shots for my HDR shot in Photomatix, weren’t too bad to be honest, slight movement on the left of the shot. I duplicated the image and had a play with it in Lightroom using one of the presets (and then some tweaking) Saved and merged the two in photoshop, using Blends modes, and here it is. As they say, alls well that ends well. :-)
