Do any of happen to know the Dynamic Range of your digital camera(s)? I just did a test today. I can see the darkest range but the top brightest whites get confused for pure white from my camera What about you guys? I'll whip up a method/tutorial for determining this factor

We learned about this in Hallmark, but I was pretty sick during the lesson so I didn't retain much. If I remember correctly though, it has something to do with your fstops. I'm pretty sure I have a good range with my Nikon though. Don't know that I'd be that interested in running tests, since after working with it so much, I generally know what it's going to do with what settings I give it.

Most digital cameras have their dynamic range published.
All digital cameras have a limited dynamic range when compared to negative film or slide film. Even with negative film, you had to often had to choose between the deep shadows or the bright highlights.
That limited dynamic range is what motivated the creation of HDR photography and software.

Most digital cameras have their dynamic range published. It's still fun to play around with stuff and find out results on your own
