On this page you find tips and tricks to make photo live easy. (mostly Nikon related)

An easy way to take a series of photo's to use in a high dynamic range image (HDRI):

To make a hdr image you have to take two photo's ore more to use in software like Photoshop to produce a hdr image. The easy way to make this photo series is by using the bkt function. This function allows you to make a series photo's with different exposures. The Nikon d2x is capable of taking photos with a difference in exposure of 0.3 stop to 1.0 stop per photo. It can make series from minimal 3 to max 9 photo's. In a series of 3 photo's you will have one under one normal and one over exposed photo. (there are differed combinations possible) Now you can setup your camera to take a series of photo's

Press the bkt button and keep it pressed. Turn the front selection wheel.

You see the exposure steps go from 0.3 to 1.0 . Make your choice.

Now turn the back selection wheel and select the number of photo’s you would like to take.

Next thing to do is set the shooting speed on continue high.

Now if you press the exposure button en keep it pressed the camera will take the photo series as you setup with the bkt function, and will stop shooting when the series is complete. This is very easy and simple, you don't have to count your exposures anymore and its fast! I used this methode with my d2h and d2x, maybe it works on other models as well.

Enjoy.
