Default a TON of fall pictures

I had some time today before work to go take some pictures out back, at the farm. It was just about to rain, so the clouds made for some cool pictures, with all the fall colors. Im no expert with a camera, and photoshop would help alot of my pictures out, but I do what I can with my crappy little point n shoot.























And the two from the other day, of my moms 78 Firebird

Hahah thanks guys, and thanks Reject. Its a 78 Firebird Skybird.

They made a Skybird (77-78) Redbird (78-79) and a Yellowbird (79-80) All three special edition cars are pretty rare these days, and near impossible to find. The one posted, my mom bought brand new in '78 it has 60k original miles, and is completely original inside and out, factory paint, ect. Only thing done to it are a set of Cragar SS wheels and a freshen up of the weak 305. I'd like to get a set of the YearOne snowflake wheels for it!

Obviously, I think it would be hard to do a HDR picture without one....

Nope you can make HDR images with just one picture if you shoot RAW or hell even if you shoot in JPG.

But, it wont look as good even if its shot in RAW and you do that. If you are going to do HDR you may as well do it right. And I agree HDR is way overused in these pictures.

Wouldn't using a single exposure just be tone mapping? Im a noob to this, just trying to learn.....
