Just trying it out. Used photomatix, combined 5-6 different pictures w/ -2,-1, 0, +1, +2 exposure settings.. (Full manual, Nikon D40)
Any help appreciated. Cars are filthy, I know.

 

Looks great!!! I think you did a good job.

 

Almost thought it was the same car at first! Both are hott. I love how the sf-challenges the stock brakes covers most of the gap.

 

thats what i like about the sf-challenges, you dont need a BBK, stock rotors look perfectly fine with them

 

I think you did a great job OP. Try using a more colorful back ground next time, wild colors are fun with HDR.

 

Cars looks awesome.

 

hahaha, i thought it was the same car till i read your post.

 

Ya the SF-Challenges have an extra ridge to close the gap between wheel / brakes. Wheel style is similar to GTS, but with the extra ridge. Good stuff.
Still would be better with a BBK.

HDR takes forever but it takes out low light graininess and gives it a nice effect when not overdone..

Now on to a more colorful spot.

 

The Shots Came Out Great.
Cars look good!

One thing to keep in mind next time you do an HRD.
Pick a place with like more colors next time.

 

looks good i still cant get my hdr photos to come out right

 

nice shots

 

I cringed when I saw the title of the thread, I've been getting sick of HDR shots, seems like it's getting overdone and overprocessed recently. These however are very nice! Subtle, and nothing over the top. Well done!

 

I hate overdone pictures too.. my idea was mild HDR for better colors and better images, thats all. Thanks!

 

Most HDR pics I see nowadays are overdone. Glad you kept yours clean.

 

Thats not hdr you just waxed you car really really really well

 

Nice cars, I like the first one a lot, would be nice to see some more pics!

 

I wish mines can shine this well!

 

if you dont mind me asking is there any guide you followed that i can follow also?

 

I like it... subtle but still kicks into the eyes.

Is photomatix a prog, and where can I get it? I'd love to dabble in it as well.

 

looks good to me.
