    Dale,
    If a camera does not have enough “latitude” or Dynamic range, the solution as you suggested would be HDR via combining two or more images. I used to do that and it required a tripod usually, no motion in the subject like the moving cars, and I still didn't like the result very often. Probably my fault.

    With enough dynamic range as with the…[Read more]

    Dale,
    The issue turned out to be file size.
    If this one goes up, we know 1.5 m can work.

    Used to be David allowed huge files, up to 20M. I think when he revised the forum, that changed.
