Multiple exposures, to expose for the darker bits and the lighter bits, a wider range than bracketing

Justin - I think this is too busy a shot - sorry

That's just what Liz (my partner) said not 5 minutes ago.

For me it was a technical achievement - 3 exposures at very different shutter speeds - you can see indoors and the lights aren't blown on the outside.

Great technically Justin - just wrong subject

I echo Peter's thoughts, the exposure blend is cool, but there is just too much going on in the shot..

i tend to agree with the busyness of it all. but good work on the multi exposures.

i have been meaning to try this myself. did you follow any guides to put all the mutliple exposures together?

Good shot technically. I agree with the comments that this is too busy. Is the colour right? Looks a little too brown/red on my work monitor. Cheers, Mick

White balance set at flourescent and it still comes out like this. It is all dark wood and red brick pavement. the whites are white and blues are true - i did try playing with the WB afterwards but it is correct.

For my exposure guide for the multiple exposures it went something like this -

At f8 ISO 100 the exposure meter said 2s. So I think i did one at 6s to get the interior detail, one at 2s and and the last at 2/3s, with the longest first (the intention being the next shots overlay and cool down any blown highlights).

2s f/8.0 at 44.0mm iso100 is the EXIF

All I have to do now is find a good subject d'oh!

thanks!. im going to give this a shot once i find a decent subject.

i can also back u up with the colour, everything there is wood and red pavers. very hard to get any other colour than the reddy brown that dominates the picture.

i went there not long ago and got the same colouring for that area.
