Found another snow on Ben Lomond one - hopefully not already posted- but no guarantees...

Well, if you create some HDR's with subtle light smoothing they should come out of Photmatix pretty much the same. As for purely 'exposure blend' option', well you've got 18 shots to choose from to get a good match.I've not done many 4 shot ones, but here's a couple of two shot ones. They're both a stitch of two 9 shot brackets (so eighteen shots per image), the two images are then created in Photomatix, and stiched using the Panorama software in CS5 or Elements. one is a two shot vertical and one a shot horizontal. The stitching software incorporated in CS5 and elements does do a good job or ironing things out. Can't notice any joins.

Vertical stitch

Horizontal stitch

That was the start of a pea-souper setting in. Needed the compass to get us off safely that night.

I've fished Leven since the 1960s Andy. Rule No. 1 = never go out without a compass. Been a number of times over the years when we have relied on the compass to get us off late at night from up Hole i the Inch direction. Then the next day we have heard stories of boats that came in at 5 in the morning, after following the shore... only to find they had been going round and round Castle Island...
