thanks. i dont auto bracket or anything. i dont even know how to do that. but i always take atleast 7 shots. -3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3. i adjust depending on conditions. i tonemap in lightroom, because its pretty easy. i have a few shots that have that HDR "glow". i dont usually like that though. i tend to turn UP the blacks, and the whites. then i turn DOWN the gamma. flattens them a bit. you lose some detail in the darks and lights. but you gean more in realism. i have a friend that almost always has that glow to his shots. some times it works well, IMO, sometimes its too much. thats the beauty though. you can do whatever you want. :lol:
