Playing with HDR Photography - My V Been playing with HDR effects using my digital camera. No way have I mastered this process, but I think my first pass looks pretty cool. Need to find a better setting than my driveway, though.

I shot it at different bracketed exposure levels and ran it through an HDR process. It looks much different than the source. I don't know, maybe I still have work to do. LOL...

Those pix look super-clear and very nice. One thing would be cool though, could you post up the original pix so we can see the difference?

not hijacking but a buddy saw this thread and sent to me. Here's a motion HDR...although I've been told it can't be done. But...we've got the software at work to do the layers of HDR even with non-static subjects.
Good work on playing with the HDR and your car looks great. Although i don't know that much about it, I surround myself with people who do!

Yes, as someone else said, those are GTO FRCs. I picked them up from someone here on LST1Tech in the GTO forums. When searching for some, I also kept an eye on ebay and other GTO specific forums.
I spent $45 on a set of dirty, scratched up GTO FRCs (didn't worry much about what they looked like since I knew I'd be sanding and painting them, but made sure the bottom clips were intact and none were broken), $20 on a pack of 3 stick-on V emblems off of fleabay (nice to have the extra one just in case), and ~$5 on sanding paper. I already had some silver and black paint. Total labor time was about 2 hours.
Process = Fit, trim, fit, trim, fit, trim, fit, trim, grind down big **** GTO letters in centers, fill/smooth where necessary, clean, sand, clean, sand, clean, tape, paint, install, stick-on V emblems (install FRCs first so you get emblems in the right spot).
All trimming and grinding was done using a Dremel. My only issue now is whether to repaint the black using a high-gloss black. I used the flat black to be safe and I thought it matched better with the other plastic components. Plus, I already had a spare can of flat black in the garage.

a cousin of mine and 8 others came over in a 1942 ford pickup rigged with a small boat motor. some have been so desperate they'll use a pallet modified to float and "row", which in turn ends up being certain death.
OP, what camera are you using? I can't see how this wasn't the first post to this thread.

Hope that clarifies what I tried to said before.
Here is an example of such a program done in one of my pics. True HDR is quite more involved and produces interesting pics to look at but is a bit played out.
