That is bloody Awesome I love those sort of photos. I have not figured how to get the Rapid fire 7 Shot bracket yet as the 7D was quite simple to set up

Thanks Andrew, it's dead easy with the OM-D too, just select menu, 'camera outline 2' icon, then select AE bracket and whatever your poison is :D

Then exit the menu go into Super control panel and select hi sequential shooting (9fps).

Now that's an HDR image of which I can approve

Thanks Rob, I too prefer the more subtle approach to HDR output. I generally use the exposure fusion option rather than tone mapping with Photomatrix.

We're of a like mind. I tend to use the Enfuse plugin for Lightroom or do it by hand, blending layers with masks in Photoshop.

One from a couple of weekends ago, taken at dusk, a rapid fire 7 shot 0.7Ev bracket merged with Photomatrix.
E-M5 and 14-54 MK2

Yes, very nice indeed. Did you order the sheep to stand still for a second while you took your burst shots? I've often wondered how easy it is to merge files like these in practice... y'know, when things might have moved a bit between shots?

Thanks Will, yes you are correct it can be a challenge depending on conditions or subject matter. In this case all but one of the sheep complied with my directions ;), the awkward one required a little more work with ghosting in Photomatrix to sort out but generally it's not too much of a problem :)

I love HDR and that is a great subtle use of it there Huw, great work!

Thanks Julian much appreciated, subtle is best in my book :)
I like to try get the image as close to how I remember witnessing it.
 
Lovely warm tone to that shot Huw. HDR not overly strong which is how it should be I think.

Cheers for the info i often thought about doing HDR but never looked into how too do it with the OMD ..Nice HDR not too overdone :)

No problem Alan, glad I could help.
Actually I should have added that you can select hi sequential shooting in the same shooting Menu 2 ('camera outline 2' icon) as the bracketing selection.

Glad you liked the image too :)
 
Took the bait a little while ago when someone (Alby) let me handle his. I've found it slow to get use to but now starting to get some results. I've read all the comments posted so far and found them a great help.:clap::clap::clap:

Hi Kim, trust it will be making the trip to Skokolm next year.
 
Tried the 60mm macro today and wow it very sharp. I want one :)
 
Here one I just snapped out of the window with the 40-150 lens.

Does anyone know if we can add white or what ever boarders to images in Lightroom? or I need to get CS6

There's bit of a clunky way in LR using the Print module
http://blogs.adobe.com/phosphors/2011/10/photo_borders_in_lightroom.html

Or you can install LR2/Mogrify, and then add all sorts or Inner & Outer borders when you export. It's a bit involved installing the plugin, it needs ImageMagick, but worth it, this is what I use. If you don't buy the licence you can't use it on batch exports, but I work on one image at a time anyway.

Thanks I guess these only work as export? Was kind hoping do it so I can view and leave images where they are.

Yes, one is a Print to JPEG option, and the other is Export.

If you don't mind roundish corners to your borders you CAN do this in place in LR using Effects>Post Crop Vignetting, by manipulating the Amount to +100, Midpoint 0, Roundness -100, Feather 0, as a starting point.

But I still like the Mogrify Option, and it's good for sharpening on Export too.

When we export the jpeg with a boarder would we need import it back into Lightroom?

Need? I guess you can if you want, but why would you want to?

If plug in exporting with boarder I like see them within aperture

A Cheaper option would be to look at Faststone Image Viewer, which has a selection of borders, though I think you need to leave space round the subject matter for them.
Superb free program from;

I'm not sure where aperture comes into this?

When you export your other edits from LR, do you import those exports back into LR?

Anyway, if you really want to do this, as long as you export your JPEGs to the RAW file's original folder, the best way is to right-click on that folder in the Library module and choose "Synchronise" - this will look in that folder for photos that have been "manually" put in there, and sync up the Library.

How would this work with Lightroom. Think fast stone not mac compatible? Will have a look when on iMac. As on iPhone at moment
