Little Miss Sunshine - SB800 SB600 off camera flash

Inspired by Mr.Joe McNally's book "The Hot Shoe Diaries" I came to the idea to use my SB800 and my SB600 more in daylight situation. The picture below has been created in such a way. Approx. 1,5 m to the right of little Miss sunshine I placed two flashes behind a cotton sheet and adjusted them +1 EV.  

DRI with LR / Enfuse

LR/Enfuse is a pluging for Adobe Lightroom which gives your the possibility to blend multiple exposures directly within Lightroom. A couple of month ago I did some test with the photoshop HDR funktionality without real success. Therefore I stopped any HDR work until know. I tested Enfuse recently and the result came out very nice. I think I will start to shoot HDR / DRI images again. Have a look at the images below and judge by yourself.

single frame normal exposure 

blended from 4 frame with different exposure (+/-2)

I applied following setting:

Whitewall prints just arrived....

I proudly announce that got my prints from whitewall today. To be honest  I was really suspicious with my soft proofing work in advanced. (see previous post). But the results on my wall are really outstanding.

 

Workaround DRI / HDR limitation Nikon D7000

The automatic exposure bracketing (AEB) feature off the good Nikon D7000 has a limitation of 3 frames only. This might be ok for 90 percent of all HDR situation which you normaly encounter ok. For the remaining 10 percent of situation you could use following workaround. The main drawback of the workaround is that you have to touch the camera during the frame creation time.



The main idea of the above mentioned scenario is that you use 3 time the standard bracketing function (a 3 frame) in conjunction with exposure compensation.

General HDR settings:

1. use A or M mode only
2. use Self-Timer Release Mode (no camera movement - automatic firing)
