A first attempt at using bracketed images to create a HDR effect.
Raw bracketed exposured exported to 16 bit tiffs using Rawtherapee.
Bracketed tiffs turned into an HDR image using Luminance-hdr, using the the autoalign option to take into account any slight tripod movement between shots.
B&W Conversion using the color calibration B&W preset.
HDR Image then processed using darktable, “tonemapping” using a combination of Filmic RGB, followed by local contrast.
Not quite as “grungy” or “punchy” as I’d like, but it’s a start to be going on with!
Oddly, I didn’t get as good results, using the raw images directly in Luminance HDR, due to it giving weird colour artifacts in the highlights.
