HDR slideshow?

[PaulWog]

I'm wondering how one would go about setting up a camera like the D5200 to do an HDR slideshow (3 shots for HDR stitched together every say 10-20 seconds). I suppose that would amount to about 1000 shots per hour... so that wouldn't be too great on the shutter life?

I've seen some interesting HDR videos stitched together through this sort of technique. Is it rather reckless on the gear's shutter count?

I've seen video systems that can split a single scene into two streams so two cameras can record an over-exposed video and the other an under-exposed video. I suppose you could do the same with stop-motion, and spread the clicks between two cameras.

What you are describing sounds like a HDR time lapse not a slide show.

I would not be as concerned with how long it would take to process all those HDR brackets then I would be about the number of shutter actuations.

You need 3 images to make 1 frame in the the lapse. And video is usually 24 or 30 frames a second. So you looking at 72 or 90 images to make 1 second of video. Your going to need to find a way to automate the processing of those HDR images

If you are afraid of wear and tear on the camera then simply rent a camera body for the project.
