comment Good examples of RAW's advantages over JPEG?
Why do you create pictures with different exposures fro the same RAW file first, then merge them into HDR? Can't HDR tools work on either the RAW file or perhaps a 16 or 32-bit TIFF generated from it directly? The information is all there.

How do you reduce the shutter speed? Do you do it manually?

It does work nicely :-). Thanks!

I accept this answer for the idea to get rid of the flicker in software.

comment Metering strategies for time lapse
This program and its deflicker feature looks exactly what I was looking for (if only it didn't require LightRoom...). But one thing I don't understand is why people keep suggesting to fix all settings, even during extreme changes in illumination like what I showed. My camera sensor is simply not capable of capturing decent images under such an extreme variation, making some adjustment is absolutely necessary. Otherwise I either end up with a blown out sky or extreme noise in the dark areas. But the program you linked to does indeed seem to be able to fix the fluctuations caused by A settng

comment Are there any free but comparable alternatives to Lightroom?
@whuber You're right about Picasa being a JPEG editor: it converts RAW files automatically, and gives no control over the RAW conversion process. What you edit in the program is then the converted JPEG. This causes problems like this one.

comment Is it usual that a narrow aperture gives a darker picture in aperture priority mode?
@Matt I also wonder, how does the blur radius (if anything like this can be meaningfully defined) depend on the distance of the subject from the point of focus. Is it possible to define a characteristic distance where things get blurry? But this is getting increasingly off topic for this thread, I should do some googling and brush up on optics a bit ...

@Matt Where did you pull that number (10 m) from? Can you give me some pointers about depth of field estimation? (I never thought of estimating it, typically I just experiment until I like it)
