Problems with Noise in Dark Areas

[rpt]

HDR is best when it is used to achieve dynamic range the is IMPOSSIBLE with a single exposure, not just as an effect or detail enhancer. Here is a shot I took a few weeks back that would literally be impossible without HDR or exposure fusion. It is 7 AEB at 3EV per step. Yes you heard that correctly, 18 EV spacing total. My eyes could see it this way, but with a single exposure my camera couldn't. HDR is as much an art as any other technique. Use it, don't abuse it.

Lovely picture.

Great picture!

We are currently at 14 EV if I am not mistaken, so maybe in few years we are there in one shot :

Sort of true, because I am at 14 EV per shot with and 18 ev range on base exposure. It might be a bit before we get that far

Here is another shot from the same day and location as the one I posted above. Again, try getting this exposure in a single shot. One of the biggest improvements you can make with HDR shooting is thinking in high dynamic range before you shoot.

That's what I'm doing now, thinking in color.
