I only have one remaining copy from any of my recent HDR experiments. This is one where I shot a series specifically for HDR and my aim was to get exposures for both the sky and the dark areas (mainly the tree) so I could balance them and get what I actually saw with my eyes - more sky detail along with dark area detail too.
I took a reading for the sky, took another for the tree then shot about 5 frames iirc. I'd used a tripod and cable release and started with the sky exposure then worked down to the tree trunk exposure at 1.5 intervals. The mistake I made was that I underestimated the movement of the clouds so that shows in the final image - I should've bracketed and the movement would've been less obvious.
Not anywhere near the sort of stuff we see from Guerito and Irma - not very exciting, just a nearby village green, but here it is anyway.
