  Hello - that's the setting I use, in conjunction with the continuous shooting mode, a tripod and a cable release. I usually do + and - 2ev. Have fun - some of the results can be quite mad :o)

  Thanks for the feedback! :o) HDR is High Dynamic Range - basically take one normal exposure shot, one under exposed shot and one over exposed shot (you can do more or less depending on what you are after) You over expose and under expose to capture the shadows and the highlights that our eyes can see normally, but aren't always capture in camera. Using software like Photoshop or Photomatix Pro you blend the images together taking the best bits from all of them - some times it looks good and another times it doesn't. With a bit of effort you can achieve the same results using ND filters.

  Interesting... and thanks. Going to give HDR a go on my camera. Mines got an 'AEB' setting so will take a similar set of three identical shots at correct, under and over exposed.
