^ 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

Here are a few non HDR shots from this morning.

red24O · 01-03-2009, 12:59 PM

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

97TurboDSM · 01-03-2009, 01:04 PM

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

UnderPoweredRS · 01-03-2009, 01:04 PM

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

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)

cszakolczai · 01-03-2009, 02:28 PM

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.

one8turbo · 01-05-2009, 12:51 AM

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

Stanic · 01-05-2009, 02:43 AM

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.
