Attached are 3 original exposures used to generate a Tone Mapped HDR. I tried to keep it natural and still capture the full range of shadow and highlight….you decide? Firstly to generate the final Tone Mapped HDR required multiple over and under exposures. Additionally I used a 5 stop range in this exercise. I began with +2,metered, and -2 stops. There was a fair amount of difference between highlight and shadow. With a bit of personal testing it appears as though absolute dynamic range of the human eye system is well over 20 stops. At the same time, the sensor in most digital cameras is somewhere between 10 and 12 stops. This requires something like HDR to capture the full range of some scenes. The final result seems pleasing.
