Hey! My car should be in there with you. I had it all pretty ready to go but then it rained. Let me know when you're going out to take some more and I'll come with ya.

Probably this weekend. And Kenwood Mall's new garage is pretty sweet for some pics. Message me if you want to roll Saturday
 
yeah those shots dont look HDR to me. what is the process that you are using? maybe i can help with my limited HDR experience.

I'm sure there's a big difference in quality mainly because of you having a much better camera.

When it comes to the HDR process, I don't think it compliments the T-Red too well. It seems much more like a burgundy color.

yeah I thought so too. Well I unlocked the program so that may have opened some of the features to me. If you can see it as a background at full res, it looks really good.

Sweet mother of god, that is one nice photo.
 
thanks. green svt, with the pics you sent me i only could get a result like the second one you did. you did exposures of -2,0,+2? they look like maybe you stepped them 1 stop but not two.
 
you know when I did the program they said that too, but I'm pretty sure I went back 2 and up 2. Again the lighting wasnt great in the garge since right when I got there they turned 1/2 the lights off, so hopefully this weekend I'll get some more and then you can do your magic...lol :D

Man that looks great man. I'm def going to take some more this weekend. In that pic thought I love the red glow through the trees. Thanks for the password btw.
 
M!key, question for you, what program do you use to do your HDR, I have a Kodak DX7630 6.1MP camera. I'd like to do some HDR pics, but I don't know if I have the right software. Can Adobe Photoshop CS2 do HDR? I need to clean the bugs off my car and wax it again and go photo shooting again!!! I love taking pictures.
 
The program being used is called Photomatix. Mikey showed me the way and today I shot my first HDR photos, though it's only of a nice rock I've had laying around a long time.. :laugh: Shiny rock huh? lol

I have to say I like your rock :shrug: Yeah photomatix is pretty good at explaning how to use it as long as you dont mess with the settings to much. And the program cost 90$ if you want the pic to have no stamp on it.....cough[thanks steve]cough :laugh:
