Camera shake on hand held HDR

[EchoingWhisper]

Any way to fix them?

If you are talking about fixing afterward, I think it is a little tough to do although the software will try it's best to align the photos.
If you are talking about before taking the photos, use a tripod, monopod (may still have issue, but better than nothing), sandbag or anything that can make the camera stable at one spot.

No matter what "fix" anyone suggests its just a band-aid.
The ultimate fix is this...shooting multiple exposures? get a tripod.

3rd vote for tripod.

Or set your camera to max burst speed, and an ISO high enough for a fast shutter speed. You can practice to minimize the shake, but its still never perfect.

Setting higher ISO is not an option. It reduce dynamic range and therefore isn't suitable for HDR work. Guess the best way is to use a tripod. When shooting hand held, I don't really want to ruin the entire set with one blurry photo.

it's kind of crazy how many of photography's problems can be solved with a good tripod.

Yea, you'd save dollars by getting a tripod instead of the VR mechanism in the lens.

Tripods are very cheap, one of the cheapest accessories you can buy in photography that will last you years

Yep. A good tripod is lots cheaper than a good lens.

But, people don't want to be burdened with carrying a tripod around, or different lenses, or lighting, or reflectors, and god forbid any camera gear that weighs more than a feather. :lmao:

Raising the ISO might lower the dynamic range, but then again if you're doing a series of shots for HDR then the dynamic range is already being exceeded and you're capturing shots to compensate for that fact. Ergo you'd just need to add one or two more shots into the series in order to cover the extended limits of the dynamic range.

If this is the case why are my eyes on a £700 or so carbon fibre tripod
Then again compared to some L lenses that is cheap

I definitely agree about a good tripod AND a remote shutter release: Why a Tripod is not enough + Tune up that Tripod

From time to time these problems do crop up even on a well shot image and they CAN be taken care of if you learn how to and use Photomatix Pro's Manual De-Ghosting tool: Don’t tell me I can’t when I can

I'm frankly amazed how poor some of these CF tripods are. I've had a Giottos and a Manfrotto both break in exactly the same way at the joins. I use them very often so yes I do put them up/down regularly. But at c. £300 a throw I expect them to last. I now have a Gitzo worth £600. Hope this one lasts

Is this during the day? I've been able to get away with pretty good HDR handheld in daylight. But you absolutely need a tripod at night or in dimmer lighting conditions.
