[QUOTE 2096770, member: 9609"]Never heard of this before, but from what I have just been reading it sounds fantastic - Presumably it must be a feature of the camera as each picture will need to be of a different exposure, so do you have to use a tripod? also, is it just available to bigger SLR type cameras? I only have a small compact and I doubt I could be bothered to carry anything that didn't fit in my pocket, love the concept of it though![/quote]
I have a feeling that really posh cameras have it inbuilt, so it takes multiple shots of the same composition at different exposures then does the adjustments on the fly. My camera's not at all posh though! You use a tripod ideally, but it can be done manually, just by taking a few pictures at different exposures. Then some photography software has HDR modules, which is what I've used, or you can lark around with layers and levels etc till you get what you want.
In terms of kit, I've got a point n click digital compact, and a 6 inch flexy tripod that came in a pack and therefore cost pennies. Take the time to try it though - it's startling when it works :-)

As cyclist 33 says 3 images of differing exposure, over, correct and under exposed images. I then use a free piece of software called luminance HDR that does much of the work for you. Always use a tripod as if there is any movement in between taking the pictures the edges of objects will become blurred. I have only just started playing with it and have so much to learn. This chap is worth looking at simply stunning images.

[QUOTE 2096864, member: 9609"]my camera won't let me over or under expose or change speed or aperture - i can sometimes do a workaround by, for instance, pointing the camera towards a darker area, holding the button down then aiming and clicking.
I would love to get into photography but wonder if it would spoil my hillwalking / cycling / bird & wildlife watching.[/quote]
What camera is it?

Have you got a manual for it? Look at page 52...!

I never knew it rained at Salt lake flats! Is it true that the air tastes odd?
It doesn't rain much.
The water (which in the photo's is about 3mm deep) comes (flows) from the mountains. It then evaporates leaving the salt.
And no, don't remember the air tasting odd.

Wow, you really get a sense of how stark and lonely it is there. No likey. Likey the photos, no likey the nothingness.
Something much more homely - looking north west (I think) from the top of the Stiperstones:

[QUOTE 2097178, member: 9609"]now this is something I am very impressed with, apart from the middle one - nothing more irritating that to have to share a hill with others![/quote]
It was an organized walking holiday, hence the other people. It also made it possible to do the classic Foinaven traverse which you can't do on your own, well, not in a day anyway.
