Every shot is different as you know. But for sunset shots this is typically ballpark. In the case of this shot the middle exposure was 1/200th of a second at 200 ISO.

I have a D300 and a SB-600. I do not have the masking PS skills though, so will give it a test using my own regular HDR technique and can report back how that works. And, I like the final portrait. I do not think it is too colorful or overly tonemapped or anything like that. Very interesting technique. I have a D300 and a SB-600.

Those extra shots are for the background. If you re-read you'll get it. I purposely don't use the extra snap on that allows the SB-800 to take 5 AAs and recycle faster. With this technique, a SB-600 suffices as well.

With my D300 + MB10 grip I should get the framerate. Will give it a try sometime. Although I too have the SB800, I wander if the SB900's recycle rate would keep up? Might need external power-pack?
