Those are fantastic images; perfect examples of why I want an ultra wide angle lens.

Is it that much different from 4?

LR4 does as well. It mostly does correction for distortion. However, if you check your camera body, you have some in-body distortion correct built-in for some Sony lenses. If you check dyxum, there are some pre-made lens correction profiles for LR and they are pretty handy.

My understanding is that HDR takes the darks from the overexposed shot, the highlights from the underexposed shot, and merges them into the properly exposed shot. But with the photo you've posted above, I'm not thinking there would be much need for that. Can you post the bracketed shots to your photostream as well?
flip-mode wrote:Ah, cool. I did notice the other shot of the can on your photostream that looked very much like lighting from a single dim source
