Lovely scene of some beautiful fall color Ryan. I gotta ask though, what did you 10 image composite do? Seems to me this could easily be done with a single exposure? All I can think of is taking the mean of 10 images to reduce noise, but on a modern camera like the D300 and iso 200, noise is not an issue worth mentioning.

Hello Floris,
I was doing it because I failed to remember any of my ND filters and I also had some dust that was showing up in some images I took earlier that day at higher F-stops. Thank you.

Greta shot Ryan. I was wondering about the effect of Nikon's in-camera raw blending. If I understand correctly, it is suposed to extend the DR. Just wondering what a single image would have looked like. This one is beautiful.

10 image in-camera stitch. Wow. Must make for a great enlargement. Nice scene overall, though the leaf colors feel a little too dark or saturated.

thanks guys. The images were overlayed, not stitched, to be honest I'm not even sure how to stitch a photograph at this point. The only reason I used the image overlay was to soften up the flow of water. I don't think it did much else for the image. Thank you and take care.

Ryan,
This is a very pretty creekside autumn image. The reds are pretty intense, but not overly so. I'm not sure if it's a result of the stacked images, but IMHO the contrast is a little high too. Both are minor points as this is still a nicely captured fall image.
So if I understand the stacking concept in this situation... it would be because a single image at 1/20th of a second wouldn't result in the water effect you're looking for. And by stacking multiple images taken at quick intervals at the same shutter speed, it in effects blurs the water. And, it will look more realistic or smooth with 10 images rather than let's say 2? Is that right?

You have stumped me on the need to combine 10 images, but the image turned out great. Beautiful shot!

I too thought stitch at first, and was eager to see the richly detailed billboard this would make .
Now that I'm back on track, lovely photo Ryan. The color really sings in this one.
