K-7 HDR Capture Mode

I had a chance to spend a little time over the weekend experimenting with the HDR capture mode in the K-7.

I'll post some comments later, but have uploaded a few series of HDR shots. Since we are still shooting with pre-production cameras, we are not allowed to post sample files larger than 600x800. The photos in these series include a standard photo, an HDR 1 photo and an HDR 2 photo. I should note that when shooting in HDR mode, you really ought to use a tripod. I can't attest to the absolute sharpness of my HDR shots, as I did not bring a tripod on this this trip and had to resort to supporting the camera with a table, chair rail or other nearby solid object.

So... yesterday I got in my car and drove the hour and a half to Beloit to paint in and support the Beloit Plein Competition. The weather was wonderful! This is one of the pieces I produced. The second needs more work and I may go back and make some changes to this one as well. I never painted a fountain before and I really struggled with it. What do you think?
