   Really great.

   HDR question: are you manually setting exposure? if so, what are you changing (aperture, shutter speed)? How many stops diff between the two shots?

   ps: amazing this is handheld!

   thanks. Fixed aperture so that each of the three shots has every pixel in the same focal plane. I use motor drive to shoot them off fast with auto bracketing at -2,0,+2 ev. Photomatix batch processing (tone map, auto align)

   Steve, thanks for the tip on technique – fascinating. The results are spectacularly close to what our eyes "see." I wonder if the whole process (3 fast exposures auto bracketed 2 stops apart, auto align, save HDR, dump 3 primary photos) could be built into the Cannon DIGIC processor ("HDR" mode)…I think i’d leave that mode on most of the time – especially for architectural and landscape shots! It would be outmoded once dynamic range in digital imaging advances, but for now, its the closest thing to Kodachrome 😉

   ps: and now that Kodachrome has been killed by Kodak, more necessary than ever!

   What’s photomatix? See my site for a strangely similar shot, but architecturally corrected…. 😉

   Looks like I have a little window to the Big Ben from here! So realistic!

   (and Victor’s photo is very simila in the angle and perspective)
