Ciara, This is a beautiful shot inside this church. How did you get the little flash on the Fuji to do this? One of the reasons I am not sure about buying one like yours is because I tried my friends and could not get any decents shots indoors. Is there a secret to it? #1439045

Hiya Fernanda, I used a process called HDR for this one, it's a blend of -2,0,+2 exposures merged together to bring out all the details.
No flash used at all. #9945021

Would you mind telling me what editor do you use to do this and how you do it. I am visiting some churches soon and would love to be able to do it. #9945676

Hiya,
I use two software packages Photomatix or Machinery 2. Which one I use depends ont he image in question, this one was processed with Machinery 2.
this website gives great tutorials, it can be very hit and miss when starting off but keep at it and you may just fall in love with it.
