This is a second attempt at producing an HDR image of an aircraft in
flight.

As the saying goes....there's more than one way to...

I've "discovered" two techniques whereby it is possible to create an HDR
image of an aircraft in flight. The second of the two is much easier and
produces similar results to the first method.....

1 Take a photo of the aircraft in flight in RAW format. Make sure your
exposure is SPOT on.
2 Process it out as a JPG.
3 Process it out as a JPG with +1 exposure.
4 Process it out with -1 exposure.
5 OPTIONAL: you could create many different layers depending on your wish
to experiment simply by altering the exposure adjustment each time you
render it out as a JPG.
6 Use Photomatix to combine the layers. Since the software thinks that
each
layer is identical, specify the exposure spacing between the layers.
7 Adjust the various options to create what suits you in an HDR and
render
it out.

DONE!



Interesting.

I wonder if one could achieve the same effect by boosting the highlights and
shadows separately in post processing.

No. The HDR software does something differently.....and depending on the
other settings you use, it can produce an image that is quite different than
just adjusting the shadows and highlights.
