So I made an exposure blending tutorial

[TheTimeChamber]

This is a technique I have been toying with for a while as it is a good one to know if you don't own/have on you any filters...It goes over the basics of what I do with it, and I will update it to include using a gradient mask as well...

It can be found here:

I thought some people may find it useful - i'll be adding more tutorials in the future, whenever that may be!

Nice tutorial Nick and great pic too, i much prefer that technique to HDR, much more natural.

Wow, think that will come in handy for when I manage to get outside. I like landscape photography but do find it different to people and dont always get the high dynamic range that I want in each photograph. I dont mind HDR but it can be overcooked and exposure blending has appealed to me. Thanks!!!

That is my thoughts too, I see this way as a nice digital cheat for the old grad filters...
