Hey guys. If taking shots and you know your going to be taking pseudo HDR images would it be better to shoot them 1 or 2 stops higher exposure to avoid noise when adjusting exposure in photoshop? Or do you need that range of -2 -1 0 1+ 2+

If you are taking a single shot and you know you are going to make a single image HDR out of it yeah a stop or so brighter might be better as there is more info stored in brighter pixels.. little hard to explain but its called shooting to the right (you can read this if you are interested).

But yeah the important thing is the expose it so you capture the detail in the dark and bright areas - and in some cases this will simply not be possible with a single exposure - and then.. you'll have to do a proper HDR!

Why would you take 1 pic for a hdr image? If your intentionally wanting an HDR image and you're already there with your camera... why not take the extra shots?

I guess the only place you'd do it is if you took a pic, and thought it might look good as as afterthought, but if that's the case you're probably not going to get what you're after or had in mind anyway... Seems like a redundant thing to do.

It's hard to make an HDR pic not look flat and boring and lifeless as it is. Sounds like a Pseudo waste of time.

Might be a scene with heaps of moving objects and stuff

I don't think so Matt. Due to the nature of a HDR you will loose dark shadows and bright highlights. So to make photo not look flat you have to fix this afterwards. This is not hard to do if you have something like Lightroom. Its simply a matter of opening the tone curve and darkening the shadows - (drag left hand side down a little) and making the highlights a little brighter (drag light hand side a little up)

hdr in motion! good call

I don't mean they're flat as in just how they're coloured and lit, i meant more in general, I'd prefer a good normal pic to a good hdr 9/10. Occasionally they're awesome and do a great job, but usually it just seems to take away from what ever was the reason you stopped to take a pic. personal preference i guess. :)

IMO a good HDR is one you can't really tell it is a HDR!

      Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?

      Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS

      Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
