Another try at HDR.
I took the car out the other night to the same spot I shot at last time, and messed around getting some shots to do in HDR. Most didn't turn out and I learned a few things, but this time I think it turned out a lot nicer.
I've only finished editing this one, but I like how it turned out.

Not to make fun of you or anything, but a nice hdr shot isn't supposed too look like it was put through an hdr program.....what your trying to accomplish is dynamic lighting....your pics have a very fake look to them....here are some example of my friends jeep(not my best work, but anyway......)

HDR is whatever you make of it. It can be as wild as possible or as subtle as possible. Those pics you posted have horrible "halo" rings and look terrible IMO.
Thanks, but no thanks.

Sry for the constructive criticism.......didn't mean to hurt your feelings.
Being wild and subtle does not mean the pics have to look like your saturation is f'ed up....as in your pics. Way too much snow also. Theres a diff between turning a picture into something the was made in photoshop with a bunch of filters and something that was done right (sry but it looks like a snapshot from "need for speed"). Sry if my photos dont meat your high requirements, but as I said in my prior post this is no where near my best work(if you like to seem them just ask.)

no need to bash HDR... I don't know if people even know what it is to be making comments.
HDR can have minimal 'post processing'.
I am not a huge fan of the wild HDR stuff, but I appreciate it. this new one is pretty out there, very cool effects.
I also like Nismo's subtle ones where HDR is used to bring out all the colors as well!!

Ok, I am a total photography noob, but this really interests me. What does HDR stand for?

??? How does it work? Can someone give me a short explaination?

you might be right........maybe 90% of the "HDR" posts i ever see on many of the forums i frequent aren't "real HDR". but it doesn't change the fact that HDR is becoming the Alteeza tails of the photo world; a lot of people are doing it and it's uniqueness is floundering really fast.
btw - i am not bashing the OP in any way, i am just tired of hearing about HDR HDR HDR.........whatever happened to a good picture out of the camera that needs NO post processing other than a resize?

Well unfortunately in the digital world we don't have quite the dynamic range nor the spectacular color that can be achieved with film. So HDR is a way to compensate a bit, and when done correctly and tastefully you can get some nice imagery that might not be possible otherwise.

i think HDR is cool when done properly, but it seems that people often do it using some crappy software and the pictures turn out looking like a video game. the good HDR pics i have seen look real as can be, nothing looks fake. most of the ones people post seem like they are trying to make the pictures look abnormal or surreal.
*shrugs*
i don't know, i guess i am a bit of a purist in a sense. and the first person to bring up "well it's no different than what Ansel Adams did" will be directed to the nearest cliff, lol.
