What settings are ignored while shooting RAW So basically a cheap "single frame HDR" with some fancy processing... why not do a proper HDR then... ah well... for those who need it I guess. |

Simple comparison of LightRoom 4, Corel AfterShot Pro, DarkTable I have Corel Paint Shop Pro X3 on my university computer and it is unusable for RAW files... - large files should be kept away from too. That is on Win7 64bit... |

How can I get a good HDR image from a single RAW file? That would depend on the dynamic range of the image - if you try to photograph say the interior of a church you have a dynamic range that exceeds the dynamic range of the sensor and an HDR technique is a must. (I used around 40 exposures on one occasion, from 15s to 1/15s) |

What tools do you recommend for creating HDR images? @Poldie Good point, but then Photomatix or Photoshop are not free either - which ironically are the tools pointed out in the answer. |

What are the advantages of leaving an ND filter on a lens at all times? Well, for video the shutter speed is definitely not fixed on my 5D MK II - there is an "upper limit" which is 1s / framerate but else I can select a faster shutter if I want, right up to 1/4000s. (just checked and it works -> banding on my LCD at high shutter speed) |

Why is this aerial picture of an airplane in flight not blurry? @Conor - actually, at 1/320 there is very little to no panning needed. Up the shutterspeed a bit more and you'll freeze the propeller. |

online printers Yes, issues has a negative ring to it. Nevertheless, once you have a bunch of names there is no way around researching them. Thanks for clarifying :) |

What could cause severe under-exposure when using a Canon 5D Mark III with Speedlite 600EX-RT with Evaluative E-TTL2 metering? @AJHenderson My understanding of fill flash is flash that fills the whole (or most of the) scene with light more than just illuminating the key subject. Though using flash to light up a subject when shooting into the sun will have the same effect. |

Well, the thing is though, 1st and 2nd curtain will look different to HSS in the actual image - at least in my experience. -> HSS supplies fill flash while the others do not and just light up the target. |

High Speed Synch will still give you a stroboscopic flash at slower shutters - and act like fill flash. But simple 1st or 2nd curtain will not give you fill flash. (I looked through the article as well - but try a different flash mode. The subject should then be correctly exposed and the background should be dark - notice the comment about losing a stop of light with HSS?) |
