…In a perfect world when you shoot HDR, every image would be shot from a tripod.…Rock-solid in fact with zero vibration.…You'd always use a remote shutter release or…a shutter timer so that the camera wasn't touched.…And absolutely nothing would introduce any variation to your images.…Of course this just doesn't happen. It's nice when it does.…And when I'm trying to do the highest quality HDR, I go out of my way to shoot…this way. But inspiration may hit it anytime.…Or in the case of the images I'm about to show you, I wasn't allowed…to use a tripod, in fact, this security guard made me put it in a locker.…
So let me show you.…Here I have some images from a amusement park ride that I found interesting.…Let's open those up and merge them. There they are.…They're loaded bracketing and I'll click okay.…Now,…I need to choose my alignment options.…If I choose taken on a tripod that's pretty straightforward, and if…you shot on a tripod that's the one you're going to choose.…Even if there's minor vibration it will still try to fix…
