Magic Lantern HDR Autodetect test drive

[zombiemann]

I installed Magic Lantern on my Canon T2i Monday. I wish I had known that was all it would take to break the 4 month drought we've been having here in Central Illinois. Today (Friday) is the first chance I've had to really take it out and play with it. The feature I found most interesting when I read about it is the enhanced HDR capabilities. It can be set to take 9 frames at anywhere from .5 to 5ev intervals. Also of interest is the ability for the camera to auto detect the appropriate number of frames to expose. I decided to take my camera to one of the local park today and give it a whirl.

Let me start by saying auto detect mode is NOT for people will small memory cards. I shoot in RAW and today is the first time I've really thought that I might need to look at something bigger than the 8gb that came bundled with my camera when I bought it. I'm disabled and my outings are usually fairly brief. I spent maybe an hour at the park and shot approximately 140 frames all on "auto detect". I'm still working on processing them bit I figured I'd go ahead and share a few.

Please note: I'm not really interested in C+C on my composition here, just sharing the results of trying out a new feature. I know my composition could be MUCH better, but I wasn't really paying as much attention to that as I could have.



EDIT: Can a Mod please move this. I accidentally posted in the wrong forum. I meant to put it in HDR Discussions
