The HDR looks much better to my eyes without examining either in detail, I just feel the highlights of the HRD are a bit bright? Maybe. What spacing are the exposures? I tend to use .3 stop for images like that. I am copying hundreds of slides at the moment and I am using bracketed HDR five exposures @ .3 spacing with the D800. Am getting some superb results from badly exposed slides, HDR processing in Lightroom. I tend to discard obviously over exposed frames, else it pushes the brights too bright. I have discovered a way of stacking batches for HDR in Lightroom, so I can get on with photographing more slides while they are processing. Select the five or however many, (I have used up to 10 exposures when the range has been extreme on really dark slides) press ctrl+shift+H together, and repeat. I have batched ten sets at once, it just gets on with it. Magic. Nice to see the Cornish landscape, hope you will repeat when the sun shines!

I have used Photoshop HDR.I find the LR HDR to be very slow and processor intensive compared to the Photoshop version. I also have Aurora 2019 which I havent tested as yet. I use 5 shot sets, with -2, -1, 0, +1, +2 as the range. They recommend that you use 0.3 increments if you do larger groups of exposures e.g. 9 or 11 shot sets.

I think it's the same engine as the Lr HDR, tends to give mild effect, although I think you can crank the Ps version up a bit. I am tending to use HDR a lot now, it helps with shadow and highlight detail, can bring a lot out of what might otherwise be a rather bland image. Not good for BIF! Although I have had some nice results...

Interesting. The first image I posted was the recommended exposure (0EV). This is the -2EV exposure. So much more detail. Attachment: Z7-1-1054-1.jpg (Downloaded 11 times)
