Jack,

What digital camera did you use? Mine does not allow exposure
control so it can't be used for the multiple exposure levels needed
for a HDRI. I wonder if a regular film camera would work? If I
could use a 35mm camera the resolution would be higher also, so
I wonder why they typically use a digital. Maybe it is easier, quicker,
no processing and scanning, and they happen to have very good
digital cameras.
