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!

      If go with OVO or similar, you can buy electricity off peak periods of the day for next to nothing, i.e. when the sun is out and everyone is exporting and noone is consuming. I'm also planning to join a VPP and sell back during peak hours. Bro science stacks up, and also the battery inverter has a spare MPPT port, so I could add another solar array. I still have the roof space for at least another 7 panels.

      I might need to invest in at least another battery, maybe...as the battery going in is a 19.2kWh, which is larger than I initially thought when I replied, the panels are 10.56kW

      It appeared like someone was well triggered. Seems the way they mention finances, and business the way they do, that there's some major financial insecurities, or just insecurities in general and someone feels they need to try and put people down.

      My 3.8 kW system (when new, not so much nearly 20 yrs later) will do 21 kWh per day (best few months of the year), and that's with an afternoon shading issue. So it really could/should be able to do maybe 24. So a 6.6 kW system probably cannot fill a 40ish kWh battery from scratch, but then it is very unlikely to ever need to. Let's presume that you use 10-15 kWh during the day and stash the rest. So long as the battery isn't drawn down below ~50%, it'll be fine. And that draw down presumes using 20 kWh overnight, which is a reasonably heavy draw. So that seems reasonable. The 40kWh will be good for extended outages, and very bad days where you get almost no generation for a day or two. Might struggle to top it all the way back up after it gets pulled all the way down though. I'd think you'd probably want about 10 kW of panels to make life a little easier, wrt keeping a 40 kWh battery charged. But then....does it really need to be at 100% every day? Probably not.
