I learned m lesson last night. I tried doing single RAW photos and a lot turned out very grainy when going to HDR. I'll be doing bracketing AND RAW depending on the shot from now on.

Here's one I just finished editing. Turned out a LOT better.

 

i like that ALOT. it almost looks like its a CG image.

 

that is gorgeous! how long did the editing process take on this one? Looks like a cartoon drawing!

 

some pics are on the border of looking like a photoshop filter, some pics look beautiful in hdr, not all. anyone know if hdr is used to produce the dvd covers and movie posters?? these hdr pics remind me of them.

 

It took way too long. I finally just got bored and posted it. There's room for improvement so I'm considering going back to tweak it a bit more.

 

 

 

what do u guys think of these?

 

Some images of Calvin's G and the attractive Charlie. This pic was one of my first HDR's that I did about a year ago. Redid it again for an example for someone new to HDR and I thought I'd share it here... so everyone can enjoy Charlie.

Hopefully, since Calvin has gotten quite a lens in the 70-200 f2.8 IS, he will give us new and provocative shots of Charlie Been waiting for awhile.

 

^I like the original picture better, probably because there is so much damn texture on your model/girl makes her look, meh.

 

anymore pics of charlie...dayum haha

 

Ummmmm your logo looks cool.......but the pics look like they could have been done easily without hdr.

 

here were my first attempts

 

^i like the first one.

 

x2

and i also agree that charlie looks waaaaaay better in non-hdr... in hdr she looks like she has skin cancer or something bad.

 

LMAO, Erwin! I totally forgot about that.

Man, I need to pick up Photomatix.

Ah, yes...the 70-200 2.8 IS will definitely be my most used lens when I shoot Charlie for the calender. Shooting is scheduled for June. I know, I know. That's a long time from now. But I need to wait until I get out of school so I can focus more on this project. That and I need to pick up some more equipment for this shoot.

Already got the "go" from Charlie and her friend, Yvette. Just need to tell them when.

 

Damn man, you're gonna have a blast on that photoshoot. It's gonna be visual stimulation overload. Good luck to your wallet getting umbrellas, stands, snoots, barndoors and whatnot. LOL.

BTW, updated the pic for the haters.

 

That's the primary reason for waiting until June to start shooting, LOL. I can't afford all of that at the moment, so I will be buying little things here and there along the way. The 70-200 2.8 IS just got me started.

 

I have no idea wtf I did.

Better?

 

^^^LMFAO stan!

we gotta shoot it up when you come to LA
