Whenever I discover something useful, that I can fit into a video that is under 10 minutes, I try to share with those that visit the site on a regular basis. Some of the techniques you might know, some of them you might even know a better way do to it. However, here is my current collection on instructional videos highlighting the techniques I have used to create the images below. I hope they help! Feel free to post a comment if you have any questions or suggestions.

Wow! Your tutorials are fantastic. Thank you so much.
Glad you like them. Always trying to help out where I can.
Justin,
The first image on this page is another example of a beautiful image that I would have never looked at and seen the potential (similar to the award winning moving walkway image on your prints page). What captured your interest when you looked at that scene?
What made you think/realize it would be an interesting image?

I love your work, and have fallen for all your tutorials…they are short, effective and the results look nothing short of mind blowing! I use a Canon 60D and used bracketed shots for some HDR photos I took. In your first tutorial Bob Ross, you took 9 bracketed images if I remember correctly. I think I can only get 3 bracketed images out of the Canon 60D. How much does it effect the outcome of your tonemapped photo using 3 images vs lets say 5 or 9?
Howdy,
Thanks for the kind words. What really impacts it is the EV spacing. I’m not sure about your Canon, but if you can bracket 3 frames, but at 2EV, you are doing the same job as my Nikon bracketing 5 frames at 1 EV. 2 stops of light on either side of the anchor is usually enough, but just to be safe I will do as much as my Nikon will handle….I guess I’m lazy. Rarely do I find 1 stop on either side of the anchor is enough, so if you camera can only do 3 brackets at 1 EV, you can either very carefully adjust your camera manually between brackets or you can get an add on called a PromoteControl which will let you control your brackets remotely.
I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Take care,
Justin
