Yeah, should have given the technical details. 3 exposures, bracketed +-1/3 stop, my camera has that feature. I know manual focus and filters wouldn't have anything to do with HDR, but they can make the original pictures better. I absolutely HATE HATE HATE autofocus. Well, what I should say is that I HATE not having the option of manual focus.
And I'm still pissed that Mama done took my Kodachrome away.
And before anyone even thinks about it, it is pointless to engage me in debate on that subject. I will not yield.
