The ideal HDR spread is 4 stops.2 under one on and 2
over. As I stated above If that can be achieved with 3
images, there is less chance of ghosting due to camera
movement.

BS.

Now that was a well thought out response.

It fit your comment to a tee, and there is no point giving
your opinion any credibility at all. Even if what you said
had been accurate, it is overly specific and not valid for
a discussion of generalities.

Not everyone shoots your idea of "the ideal HDR spread".
?? "shoots?'

I make no claim to originality about HDR, when not
shooting for a "cartoon" look, that 2 ev over and 2 ev
under + 1 normal exposure, is ideal. That doesn't mean
that there are circumstances where the image would
benefit from a variance. Just a goog GENERAL rule of
thumb.

It has become increasing obvious that you do little, if any, HDR shooting.

Because I talk about how to use a camera in general,
rather than speak only to the few specifics that you
understand?

You're still missing the point. Which is understanding
the camera, not shooting your idea of HDR.

The subject was bracketing and why. Stop contorting out of you error.


You are right. I definitely enjoy using my D800. Didn't
even consider the D600. I did consider the D4, but
decided to put the difference towards some good glass.

They are different. For some things the D4 is significantly
better than a D800. For other things the D800 is significantly
better than a D4. Budget aside, choosing one or the other is
best done by matching what kind of photography you do to the
camera.


True. Unlike some here, I do not have an unlimited
budget, so in a tie based upon use, budget comes into
play.
But to quote you, "that was not part of the original discussion."

So why are you throwing it into to discussion? I could care less
how much money you can spend on cameras, or not.


Because you brought it up.

Would you stop claiming that I'm the one saying what appears in your
posts!

As usual, discussion of anything here is pointless past stating something
once and ignoring idiots. If you have something useful to say, I'll
respond. But I won't bother with more of this repeated blather.
