HDR macro

For me personally, HDR is the next logical evolution in camera design.

The basic design isn´too complex: split the light to -two- sensors with different sensitivity. Merge the information.

I'm,
a mixed bag of motion blur for pixels that should have no value other than 1 anyway ? In any case the location of the pixels could easily be mapped keyed and manipulated for either post motion blur of more attention in color correction. Brings to mind the song black hole sun.

I remember someone talking about what they called 'additive pixel binding', where the value of each of four blue pixels in an area were added together for one BLUE pixel.

The theory is you exchange resolution to lower your noise floor, by effectively making your pixel wells bigger. With RED you could get a perfectly good 1080 image with a little more DR, right?

Ok so not to get off topic but I am desperate for an HDR mirror ball, anyone in the NYC area help me out. I will be shooting this weekend for a commercial down in Dumbo and the 3D guys said they needed me to take some stills of a chrome plastic ball that I cant find to save my life. I now know that it maybe found in the decorative gardening section (Not exactly the 1st place I was thinking).

B&H did not have a clue of my request (no surprise there) and I have called all over the place looking for one. Please PM me if you can help or have tips on what can work.

Ty!
