Dude, do yourself a favor and stay away from HDR

nice pics, love the GC8

^ or help him out? cmon dude.

I dont have any real technical stuff to say...

but I would try to keep your shadow out of the pictures if possible. And also maybe try different angles/centering, because to me, the left side of the pic overtakes the attention from the car.

gettin better I'd say. nice man

Nice pics man. And lol @ the "is this graffitti?" on the wall behind your car. :lol:

Here are a few non HDR shots from this morning.

"Is this graffitti" Isn't that in hainsport, or right off marne highway?

wow the non-hdr shots are much better than the "hdr" ones even if they arent technically perfect.

yea I saw it when I was leaving and desided to stop and snap a few. It's over by rallispec

I don't know how to adjust the color curves or anything in photoshop so these are raw from the camera.

way to nice about that chris hahaha

ill look for the one i used to use all the time...

I wasn't saying it to be mean

I see way to many HDR's that people do incorrectly and it totally ruins the image


Now that I see the other versions I can say that:
A) You need to work on focus
B) You need to work on and understand exposure
C) Try some simpler locations (not a lot going on in the BG) at a better time of day (right before the dusk)

You seem to be getting into photography more, and if that is the case, then maybe you should look into a DSLR or an SLR.

roger.

whats with the orange steelies?

They are orange.

they are.....hdr is not cool unless done perfect. you should work on your technique first

the non-hdr shot are underexposed. If you are shooting from a tripod you can slow down your shutter a bit more.

If you can control aperture, raise it by a couple of stops (f/4-f/8). This will ensure that you do not have a narrow DOF.
Set ISO to no higher than 800. You want to have enough light but you don't want to do it artificially. Too much ISO and you have too much noise.
