Did HDR improve that image much? It looks to me like it just made the background and wheels look underexposed and the headlights look overexposed. I still fail to see how you rate to be so critical.

These HDR shots always look way over saturated.

Photoshop is capable of HDR tone mapping. That pic is definitely HDR'd, as you can tell by the halos and grayed out highlights.

Yeah I know its possible to make an hdr in photoshop, but I never use it to make hdr images.....I rely more on photomatrix for hdr work.

I think the mods should put together a photo contest, for the best picture (HDR or not) of a 350Z????

Lol.. I won't fool myself. I'd lose that, but hey it might be fun.

I'm pretty positive someone would probably need a rolling rig or a crazy lighting setup to win that.

I can easily see a rig setup winning that.

Here's another one for you all. VERY little post processing on this one. Mainly just threw it in Photomatix and did tone mapping:
