Stephen - here's something fascinating! I've just gone back and used ony 3 images for the merge. See the attached for what it produced in the inititial preview.

I think the upshot probably is that the creation of the .hdr is only a very crude starting point and it's what you do after the merge that really matters.

Yeah well. We can't all be sitting 3 hours in a traffic jam heading for somewhere interesting to shoot ........ and never arriving.

Better luck next time, m8.

I was just thinking to myself - maybe it is better to have an extra shot either side of the range (if possible) then you can be sure you have enough to experiment with - especially if you've travelled to a specific, distant location. Better safe than sorry!

I reckon it should also be ok to shoot fine jpgs for an hdr series too. Saves on CF space and you're not going to be using the ACR anyway - unless you decide you want to process a one-off image from one of the series.

No problem at all Stephen.
