I am pretty sure I snagged this picture off of this site, so whoever took it thanks. I tried going for a cleaner look than some of the more radical ones I've seen on here. I took one image, then made three separate ones adjusting the exposure, gamma, adding shadows and highlights, etc. Then I screwed around with the white threshold a bit to get some of the different effects. Lemme know what ya think.

I like the first one the best (first HDR rendering)

Can you tell me what program you used to do these? I just purchased a Nikon D40, and would love to take some shots to turn into HDR images.

I am sorry, but I am going to be honest with you.

Do you really like the way any of those images look? I can not believe you even posted them.

go **** yourself dude. Like I said it was my first attempt at it, I didn't tone map anything and used photoshop to do it, which I know isn't the best program for doing HDRI.

I can't believe you honestly put Halo's on your car, are TTIIs next? Sweet HIDs too are they 10000k like every other ricer has? Way to ruin a nice turbo car

As stated I am sorry to be an *** about it, but IMO you did not attempt anything.

If you want to do HDR photography, here is what you do. Learn what HDR is, learn how to do, and then go and try it. You did not even take the picture yourself. People see HDR in the title and think you posted examples of a few HDR images... You did not.

Sorry you dont like my headlights. Cheap shot from a guy with a busted trans am, and is proud of a 14sec civic .

I think we need a sticky about what HDR is.

Yeah you can't just take an ordinary photo and pretend to make it HDR...

Unless you have the RAW file there is no way you are making an HDR from a single picture, especially just a random picture.

And I don't know jack **** about HDR!

LT1-Camo

i like the first pics....

in for drama

RSbeast

Agreed. You messed with the brightness/contrast in photoshop....that's it.

OP- You're not allowed to get pissy if you don't even know what you're trying to do or what that you're trying to do is.

Want another cheap shot? My sub $1700 DSM will maul your hondur

Don't be an *** and lighten up a little.

You don't make HDR in photoshop, you use a program that layers images that have focuses at different depths.....that was a hack job.

That's called focus stacking, not HDR.

HDR allows for more well....dynamic Range, not depth of field.

Oh an DirtyBird222, Your original image has more dynamic range than your HDR attempts anyway. Looks like you used some fill flash anyway which really helped light up the side of the car.

Here's all I'd do. A little change in brightness and shadow/highlights adjustments in photoshop. And some slight sharpening. Nothing else is really needed here.
