Misc First HDR shots of my ride

First HDR shots of my ride · 06:24 PM

I know it's not everyones cup of tea but I was going for the overdone look. HDR is actually a lot of fun. I used Photomatix.

328xi? I'm really digging the wheels.

No just a base 325i thanks for the compliment, the wheels are 19" Maya RM1's

Nice shots, indeed. I'm a big Bimmer fan and currently have an '08 328i Sport that I ordered a couple of years ago. I posted pictures of it back then, but none of mine looked near as cool as your shots.

Nice series, I kinda like your PP too. I like #3 the most

Nice job! Love the HDR work here.

Eruditass · 03-31-2010, 07:35 PM

nicely overdone. I need to start playing with HDR, how hard is it? Just adjusting dials or what?

Xsalfior · 03-31-2010, 08:05 PM

thank you everyone for the kind words, it's super easy to do with photomatix. after loading your 3 exposures it is pretty much just playing around with sliders until you get the desired effect. I usually transfer the pics over to lightroom after and make some more adjustments. (clarity, tones etc..)

Just a tad overdone for me personally...and there are halos around just about everything...crank up the smoothing and it should take care of that.

Xsalfior · 03-31-2010, 08:48 PM

Thanks for the critique Timstone I agree I'll make sure to watch out for that next time. I also should have used a tripod but, I didn't want to look like a dork in front of my own house with a whole tripod set up I was just very eager to try out Photomatix

Look at the crazy siding on the following houses:
Shot #2 - Side paneling on the house above the car's hood.
Shot #3 - Side paneling on the house far right.

Was that from the lens or scaling the image down, or both, I wonder.

Cool. I like the HDR look in these shots.
