Here are some of the HDR photos i've done with the maxima. I'm using the trial version of Photomatix (hence the Photomatix stamp on the picture) I'll keep updating this thread as I complete more pictures but here are the ones i've done so far. Suggestions are welcomed!

 

If you want pm me your email, and i'll be able to remove those watermarks for ya

 

very nice!

 

how do you do this...i just picked up a new nikon camera
im really interested

 

Here's where I learned it from http://vanilladays.com/hdr-guide/.

 

The easiest way is to get the program called photomatix. With photomatix you take at least 3 pictures with different exposures. Then photomatix will blend all 3 together for you. Or you could use photoshop.

 

+1 It works best when the pics are taken at +2, 0, -2 exposures then brought into Photomatix

 

^^^too much saturation mang! But otherwise really nice.

 

Thanks for the tip bro. I'll mess around with the saturation some more and post it up.

 

Here's a quick fix.... I changed the Saturation from 71 to 52 and bumped the Luminosity from -3 to 0.

 

These kind of pics look so freaking cool.

 

nice! next try to get some funky clouds and blue sky.

 

^^^also looks like you hacked Photomatix

 

Yeah well...... I tried to get some of the sky into the pics when I shot these pictures but the clouds were low and moving so fast that it was all noisy when I combined the pictures, I'll try again sometime

 

Here are some pics from over the weekend. The day shot came out alright I think but the night one... I didn't think came out so well. I think it might be my crappy camera.

 

im sorry, new to photography, what exactly are you doing with the program?, are you just adjusting the pics?,

 

Yeah, basically. Visit here for a great review of HDR. http://www.vanilladays.com/hdr-guide

 

Here's a quicky I did last night. I was doing homework and I ran outside and got some pics to see how it'd turn out. I thought it turned out okay.

 

^^^Looks cool. But you might want to turn up Luminosity and Micro Contrast a bit. That's what it seems like. Otherwise its tight.

 

Did you get photoshop CS3 or are you still using photomatix?

 

Thanks man. The micro contrast is all the way up but I think I could turn up the luminosity like you said. But then again, I did it in the middle of studying for a tst so I could've spent more time on it and taking the picture itself. It took all of like 8 minutes.

 

I'm still using Photomatix, I haven't been able to find Photoshop yet. lol

 

Blah! Slacker!

 

Still pulled off a 97.8....

 

wow looks cool...your car looks like it's in a cartoon haha

 

i like the night shot! nice!

 

Thanks, It feels like i'm not doing something right with the night shot though. ha
