I have had my D50 for severl years now and have never been completely satisfied with the pictures from it. i think that is because i have never used it to its full potential. I am very eager to try taking HDR photographs now. 2 questions for you though... #1-Can i produce HDR photographs with Photoshop? if not what do you recommend? #2- my camera is still completely stock, what do you recommend purchasing for the camera to take better photographs. Thank You! *Markus*

In the menu go to settings (the lil wrench), select CSM/Setup Menu (click right on the wheel) and select "Detailed". Now you will see more options.

I think 3 shot bursts is as much as you can get on the D50. As far as I know there's no continuous shot mode like on the higher end cameras. Thanks for the suggestions, Andrea.

Hi there i normally shot with a D300 which has a lot more features then the D50 how ever i have owned a D50 for 5 years this above method for HDR works well as long as you have some type of HDR soft ware

try this duplicate background boost sat and contrast,call it layer 1 duplicate that turn to multiply layer lower opacity to around 80%

copy layer 1 again make it a hard light layer play with the opacity

copy layer 1 a third time and make it a soft light layer play with the opacity once happy merge visible and wham o you have a similar effect to HDR

oh one question while i am here can you have continues shutter fire on the D50???
