Even in situations where contrast is at a minimum, HDR is valuable in revealing detail in the shadows as well as the highlights. This picture that I took at Kinderdijk in Holland is an example. The shadows in the grass in the immediate foreground would be considerably darker with less detail had I not used HDR here. I only took three exposures using the Canon 5D Mark III's automatic HDR setting, but it was enough to show all the detail that was necessary to make this picture work. I used a 24-105mm lens at f/22 and 200 ISO for this picture.

J. Greene - What a lovely photograph. I have two 5D Mark lll's, and didn't realize I could get an automatic HDR setting on them. Thanks...jg
