Oh, I wasn't referring to that - just that you need a different (smaller) exposure range (and thus more images) if you're working with 8bit jpegs compared to 10-12bit RAWs.

I'm sorry, attila77, I should have quoted wazd:

- 1/12s: take first snapshot (JPG image with 1/12s exposure. Shutter remains open)
- 1/6s: take second snapshot (JPG). Shutter remains open.
- 1/3s: last snapshot of the sequence. Save the third image and finish process.

What do you think?
I'm dreaming of a better way to take HDR Photos Single Pass in this case in 1/3s:

Take a 1/3s Picture at once and reading the Picture from the CCD in three runs!

Open the Shutter, read after 1/12s, still exposuring, after 1/12s the 1/6s picture and still ongoing after 1/6s the 1/3s picture. Then you can close the shutter.

Mmmh... a dream!

It is not possible for the CCD I guess?

CCDs don't work that way. Also, there is the problem that every readout itself introduces some (fairly constant) amount of noise. That's one of the reasons why (except for specific cases like astrophotography) it's better to have ONE longer exposure than several short exposures stacked (as they all carry the readout noise, and so have a worse signal-to-noise ratio).

Do you think that using the DBus commands to take pictures we can adjust the exposure and do a -2, 0, +2 pictures in sequence in a script and have them piped into an HDR editor/creator.

The main question for me is how to make the bracketed pictures. The rest can be done on the desktop. I have come to the conclusion that a little C is neccecary in order to do this.

I compiled a quick and dirty script which uses this C utility and takes a -2, 0, +2 sequence with the current settings in focus and exposure.

to run it

1) Place the files contained in the attached file in a non vfat folder eg., ~.
2) Compose and take a picture in with the default camera application.
3) Close camera application without moving the camera too much.
4) Run photo_bracketing.sh from the command line. Wait.

the three files will be called rawHDRtest0.png rawHDRtest1.png and rawHDRtest2.png
Attached Files
File Type: gz exposurebracketing.tar.gz (4.5 KB, 442 views)

Ok, so this is my first HDR pic made with the N900.

Made from 11 pics EV -5.0 to EV 5.0 .

On the desktop I ran enfuse to merge them to this



Nothing impressive but I think there is potential for a cool app if someone want to pick it up.

Very cool!

Not the best quality but the dynamic range compared to a standard photo is very noticeable.

Yeah, the problem is the actual lack of dynamic range in the swedish winter light .

Maybe in the summer photos will improve.
