You can change the ECV for your raw images and get similar results. The difference is in the amount of noise and details in the shadows and the amount of details in the highlights. If you're trying to make an HDR image from a single exposure, you're better off just dodging and burning.

I believe a "True" HDR image is multiple exposures. Yes, you can "fake" HDR with only one image, but here's what Wikipedia has to say:

High dynamic range imaging - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wikipedia is hardly a reliable source. All the same, carefully reread the first paragraph in that article. It agrees with what I've said.

what do you think about it.

 

[robertwsimpson]

it's a picture of nothing. it was way underexposed. not much to say.

 

[dearlybeloved]

ya, i just shot raw just to see what it was about. didnt really do it for me either.

 

[Rialto]

granted im a newb but that photo is way too overproduced for my taste.... just cause you can make a photo pop like that doesnt mean you have to... and what the heck kind of race is that? middle school cross country in newmexico?

 

[Rialto]

Now, I realize the race is probably in the middle east somewhere..... everyone is probably cheering yalla!!! Yalla!!! yalla!!!
