Since no one has commented I’ll give this a shot. The biggest difference for me is that the Canon’s in-camera HDRs output a jpeg file, even if your camera is set to RAW. If you are good enough to get everything right for a three image blend in camera that may be fine. I have learned that I am not that good. If you send three RAW images to Lightroom you get a RAW composite, although it is an Adobe .dng format, and not a .cr2. The other major difference is that the camera HDR has a few auto enhancing presets, such as “Art Vivid” which was used on the car image. As far as I know Lightroom puts out more of a straight pass-through for DIY enhancing. I would guess that there are, or soon will be, some auto-enhancing plugins for Lightroom HDRs. There are also a lot of standalone HDR programs with all sorts of auto-enhancing filters. The ones that I have seen output tif files.

Hi Doug,
It says the car is 5 hp in the notes so maybe it’s motorised. Imagine that.
15 mph and no air bags.
The repeating rectangles are good . Probably the shadows were very deep needing that three stops over from base exposure.
I think Artie didn’t mean hand holding and tripod mounted for the same image. Typo alert!
Kind regards
David Peake.
