Handheld HDR at The Getty Villa

I have been hearing a lot about hand held HDR lately. The iphone has an HDR app, it seems to be everywhere these days. I have been a big fan of HDR for several years now but have never even thought to try it hand held. If you have never heard of HDR click here for a full description. A recent trip to the "Getty Villa" Museum proved to be the perfect testing ground. I though that if this worked it would be a great technique to stuff into my wedding bag. So I set my camera to auto bracket -2 and +2 stops, waited until as many people were standing still as possible and well... I think I need more practice!

I used Photoshop and HDRsoft "photomatix" plug-in

f/7.1 - 1/125 - ISO400 (+-2)

f/10 - 1/200 - ISO200 (+-2)
