auto bracketing

Don't forget that there are several different Auto-bracket setting too.
You can choose 1/3 or 1/2 EV steps, you can have 3 or 5 exposures, choose the order (-0+, 0-+, 0+-, +0-) and if you want you can add in exposure compensation (over or under) to bias the bracketing.

What's the best space you can use between the shots?
Around the O,7EV maybe or can you use wider without much problems?

I use M.
Set to a reasonable mid point, test. Then take as many shots as necessary (at least 7), varying from almost pure blow-out to darkness. Normally with 2-3 clicks of the wheel between each one.

well I've looked on the net and found that AV is best so there is no change in DOF
But know it's snowing so I may not get out this week. But my son Has a really nice chapel so will have a go next week as they are of school this week

Hello there, As I was advised by the forum members, In user mode. I use av mode auto braket 5 shots, 2 steps apart, however you can adjust to your requirments, I then use photomatix pro to compile my image then render it as a HDR image, After this clean it up in adobe photoshop. Hope this helps

If you set the K20D to take all the shots with one push of the shutter button I have found you can hand-hold OK and use photomatix's "align features" check-box. It is safer on a tripod of course, but is an option when you are without one. I always go for five shot at 1.5EV spacing in Av.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.
