Mini 4 Pro... How to stack 5 HDR images?

Here’s a 5-image HDR shot I took with the Mini 4 Pro.

Great image! How do you stack 5 HDR images?

I use the auto feature in Adobe Lightroom.

Austin?

Yes! Cheers.

My guy, this is beautiful. Can you share your camera settings? No matter what I do, I can’t get a sharp image.

Hello! Thanks for the comment! I almost always shoot in AEB mode. This was a 5-shot AEB. Step 1: In Lightroom, enhance/denoise all 5 images using the photo enhance tool. Step 2: Merge all 5 images into HDR. Step 3: Add sharpening, color, and lighting adjustments. Let me know if you have any questions!

@Kade
Thanks for the reply! I tried merging 7 AEB shots in Lightroom, but even after enhancing, the sharpness and definition aren’t quite there—especially in low light. Could it be a camera setting issue?

@Oli
This might sound basic, but if you’re flying the Mini, try doing the AEB burst more than once. Wind gusts can cause subtle motion blur, especially with slower shutter speeds at dawn or dusk.

Noted, thank you broseph!

Make sure you’re shooting in RAW and merging those RAW files. JPEGs tend to introduce noise in the shadows.

Yes! Always RAW.

@Kade
I just got a Flip, which has the same camera as yours. AEB forces 12MP and the image looks much softer. I’m planning to manually bracket shots and let Lightroom align them—plus denoise helps bring back details.

Nice! What camera settings and exposure did you use?
