Roger,
How did you combine the three exposures? I tried it and had some
difficulty
with slight misregistration even though I was using a tripod. I also
used a plugin
for combining the images as well as a couple of HDR programs. The
plugin had
poor results, but he HDR programs produced good results, however the
workflow
was a nightmare.
Thanks,

Aren't you finding it a little too slow to work remotely that way? I
know
it's great to be able to proof shots right on the monitor and decide
precisely on the exposure. But, since the connection to the D100 is
only via
USB (not even USB2), I wonder if you don't find things going a little
too
slow for your taste?
Images are
then automatically transferred to the laptop. I process the images
using
AdobeRAW. The AdobeRAW plugin is GREAT and is worth every penny it
cost
(unlike so much other software that fails to live up to expectations).
Yes, it is great.
When shooting RAW on location I often shoot a series of exposures
which I
then process as optimised shadow, midtone and highlight versions of
the
subject. The RAW plugin can output 16bit images which allows me to do
final tweaks in PS. The then combine the 3 images into one final. I
can
thus capture and use a much wider subject luminance range than one
exposure would allow.
Ah yes, that's one of the beauty of working digital.
Thank's,
