 |  | First Attempt at Bracket and Blend

The source pictures
End
Couple of things:
1) I tried to sharpen the picture so there's halos bordering the frame... not sure how I feel about that...
2) Blending is easy enough on my netbook but applying filters seems to take a lot of its processing power. For me that means I can probably do blending on the fly if need be. If I need to do anything more than that, if I ever figure out how to do more than that, I'll just move it to my gaming comp.
3) Literally 15 minutes ago I found the bracketing option on my camera. The three exposures for the source pics I did from just watching the light meter and hoping for the best. I probably won't be doing that again.

| | | | First time? I thought this one came out great... not everyone gets the hang of B/B right away - not everyone gets it after years of practice - so, good job!
I don't always use my bracketing function on my camera. It depends on what method of metering I am using and what the scene really looks like. If my scene has a disparage of more than 1 stop from the darkest I want to expose to the lightest I want to expose, I just meter three or more separate photos manually like you did. Just using the bracket feature may not properly expose all the areas you are interested in. Just try it and over time you'll see what works and what doesn't.
I am happy to see you are trying new things...excellent!
Great job!

| | | | Looks like a good start. You can edit the layer masks manually to get rid of those halos. Oddly, I didn't notice them until you pointed them out...I wonder about that a lot with my own stuff...am I wasting time correcting stuff that only I will notice.

| | | | I noticed the halos; they were the only thing that threw me off. Fix those and it'd be perfect.

| | | | One tip I can give, sharpen BEFORE blending, not after.
Aside from that, you do better than I do. lol

Redone. In a Starbucks. While waiting for a call from another UEr I'm exploring with tonight.
God I love my little netbook.
The colors don't feel as vibrant as my more doctored one but I'll wait to read what you guys say ;)
edit:
Forgot to crop it.
edit:
Some shop-fu to try and raise the contrast a little more.

| | | | Still working on this new thing.
I don't know if this really counts, it's just trying to correct the windows.
I'm still having trouble trying to get rid of that halo around the window. Does anyone know of a trick to get rid of halos?

| | | | Blend manually with layer masks... it's easy.
As for the photos above me, honestly I think that's a poor choice for bracket and blending, because even in your darkest exposure the window is still quite blown out. I guess the only thing I'd do, is take the middle exposure and swap out the far right wall with the bottom exposure with a layer mask and clean up the window a bit with the top exposure.
I just don't think there's a diverse enough exposure range to B&B.
