After I installed qtpfsgui, I went out and took some shots of my complex in the night. The shots came out well I thought. This time I took five shots at different exposures and used a tripod so that I don’t have to align the images manually. Click on the thumbs to see the full size images.

The next thing that I plan to do is to compare how close the Dynamic Range Optimizer built into my A300 comes to these software edited images.

cool! which tripod do you have!
Its a Half length one. Sasta type. I bought it long ago and used to use it with my P&S. Its got the company name of Lenovo actually. Its served me well enough for about 4+ years.
Cool. Looks like the one’s they show us on print advertisements of housing projects.
just a thought…next time dont do tone mapping ..do exposure blending..much better results..at least in Photomatix i found that..havent used this software you mention..and try it with just 3 images..more images mean more Noise..if you do it with 5 use neat image to clear up the noise..you will notice noise in the sky a lot
Hmm… I dont think that I can do exposure blending in qtpfsg ui. But i can fix the noise. More images is actually better in qtpfsgui and the noise can be taken care of easily by using a different algorithm. Thats the benefit of having a linux program… there are multiple tone mapping algorithms available to choose from that can give you a artistic result or just a higher dynamic range picture. There are even some experimental algos that I have to try.
I found a plugin to do exposure blending in GIMP. Will check it out…
