Disappointment 6D

[Macoose]

GP,

The in-camera of the 6D is pretty basic when compared to 7DII, 5DIII, 5DIV or the 80D.

Each of the latter cameras have 5 effect settings that include a Natural effect and four Art effects that the 6D lacks.
I have always used Photomatix Pro.

Some of the five effects HDR of 7DII are exaggerated and practically useless.
However the "automatic" method seems to me to be quite valid.
I appreciate enough the "pictorial" result in some photos (though certainly somewhat unnatural...)

For now I am making treasure of advices and I'm trying different solutions.

Photo 7DMKII + Sigma 8-16mm and in camera HDR

I think the first two shots typify the problem I have had in the few times I have tried in-camera HDR where the high contrast edges show a halo at the border.
Whether this is because the images I took were too wide a range of exposures I don't know but it is similar to trying to re-saturate the sky when I have applied exposure compensation to a bird in flight.

I did HDR with my previous camera (bracketing + photomatix pro) and continued to do so when I first got my 6D. It wasn't that long before I realized, in most circumstances, it's easier/faster/better to just drop the highlights and raise the shadows on a single RAW file via Lightroom. If you want you can push it to a point that is comparable to a typical HDR or you stay a little below that point and get a better image IMO. The 6D sensor/dynamic range is at a point that I find HDR is almost obsolete for general shooting. I still bracket occasionally and reserve the ability to create an HDR later but usually just pick the the best exposure and edit it in Lightroom. You also avoid the majority of haloing when you use highlights/shadows on a single RAW edit.
