combine multiple shots at different exposures, either from the camera or changing the exposure in a graphic program from one shot.

Car looks gorgeous, as usual. Aesthetically I wouldn't change a thing. How's the retrofit treating you? And when will it be supercharged again?

They are the same to my knowledge. The pic just came out that way for some reason.

Yeah, HDR pictures tend to look like illustrations. I've taken a few before with mixed results, but I need to find CS3.0 or something to mix the pictures well.

Lookin' good dude. What camera are you using?

Pics were taken with a 400D using a Tamron f/2.8 lens. I just used hdrsoft to combine images and then PSP to edit.

This is funny. I just learned about HDR photography today and plan to wash the Max this afternoon and experiment with HDR shots at sunset/after dark tonight. Yours look fantastic! What software are you using?

Not sure what monitor/videocard/resolution you're using, but to me it makes the car look like it's really there on my screen.

Would be nice to see this applied during daytime, as well.

Certainly doesn't make it look like it's there on the screen... looks way more like a drawing.

I cranked up the HDR setting to the max on these so they are definitely over done in terms of what a proper HDR photo should look like. I'm gonna try some daytime shots next time and go easier on the settings.

You must be referring to the background trees and lighting? The car and pavement, right next to it, look as real as day even on my work monitor/machine....

Either that, our your idea of reality is different from mine.

Then, again, I'm using 1360x768 resolution on a 32 inch monitor. Checked it, at work, still looked pretty real (minus the trees in the back).

I have to agree that it looks much more like a drawing. HDR photos often do. If you've ever played around with a regular photo in photoshop, you know that by changing some settings to extremes will make it suddenly look not at all like a photo.

Take a look at the brown tiles on the columns and the pavement. The texture and exposure is hyper real. The way the light reflects off the paint and details of the car is also very artistic looking.

E, I like the third photo you added a lot too. Why don't you put up the normally exposed source photos for comparison? Side by side there will be a large difference.
