Nicely composed and exposed, did you use off camera flash in the room to the side?

**Antonio Correia** · 15th March 2019, 10:09 PM

Thank you John for commenting.

I did not use any flash. I made it with bracketing. 5 exposures handheld. It turned out to be fine enough.

I want to go there again and make more shots. At my back there is a small and very interesting room with beautiful light at that time of the day. I hope to be able to be there next Monday !

Have a nice week-end !

Antonio,

Thanks for the information, nicely processed.

John, anyone can do it. It is deadly simple ! In LR just select 3, 5 or 7 bracketed photographs and Control+H (Apple)

Just a fine tune and crop at will, to end the production !

Nicely exposed scene.
Cheers Ole

Thank you Ole !
Have a nice weekend !

Nice image. I’m impressed that you did it hand-held. I wonder what the slowest shutter speed was? I always use a tripod for bracketed shots, but light is often in short supply. Maybe there was a fair amount of light in the room: reflective ceiling, light walls and a sunny day. I like HDR when it aims at the non-HDR look.

Thank you Julian for your comment. Please have a look How I process my stacked photographs.

Hi Antonio,

I wasn’t really querying the way you produce your image in the software. I have done 3 shot HDR’s in Photomatix and I think I can use even more shots in Affinity Photo (still to try it). My camera will produce 3 bracketed shots, and because I use a tripod, I can, if I’m careful, extend that range by combining bracketing with altering exposure compensation. What I was really impressed by was the fact that you can get a non-blurry image indoors hand-held, because I would find that difficult, so I was wondering what the longest exposure was which you’d managed hand-held.

Thank you Julian for your observation.
You made me go and have a look at the settings of the different photographs.
As we can see in the other thread the ISO is Automatic. OK. It is limited but that is not important now.

Until this moment I didn't realize the camera - set to Exposure Bracketing - was slightly changing the speed (I was in Aperture Priority) and changing the ISO !

I have to test this because I want to know more !
Not today. Soon ! Thank you Julian !

**Thornton** · 17th March 2019, 05:45 PM

Thank you Antonio. I am never very adventurous with ISO, usually keeping it as low as possible, so I suppose that explains why I wouldn’t get away with hand-holding like you do. ISO 100 is definitely tripod territory for me. You must still have good breathing control though, because your shutter speeds look pretty slow.

I do not rely on that Julian. I begin to shake my left hand, just a bit, depending on the days...
1/25 is not difficult to hold as the camera has image stabilisation... sometimes I lean against anything like a table, an entrance...
Thank you Julian !

It is a beautiful capture that gives me the impression that I'm inside the room where this picture was made.

Five exposures handheld? Congratulations!

Cheers,

It's not difficult Antônio...

A new set of bracketed photographs with a great result. I like this "thing"

Today I was outside taking some photographs when I looked at a car and made 3 stacking shots. The light was terrible, strong on the bumper ! The car is white !
I made the 3 photographs handheld as usual. I take some care not to move too much...
Here is the result. I like it. Do you ?
I just wonder if the systematic method of making 3 bracket exposures to get just one, doesn't return a better final result than just one ?
Yes, I know that it depends on what your aim is... (I contradict myself)
