Default what do you think

Bored at work and messed around with a few pics I had on my laptop and thumbdrive. I'm going to put the last race pics on my laptop and next week when I'm bored at work I'll do some more. What do you think













yea the lines a little crooked on the front didnt think the black would be different from the black and white section, but didnt have a mouse only had my laptop.

If anyone wants some photo's one of these times just let me know. I get tired just taking pics of my car

No offense, but I think people need to make more pleasant looking HDR composites... I've seen way too many "HDR" images lately that look cool, but awful at the same time.

To me they look like RAW photos that have had their exposure levels adjusted and then composited as if they were individual shots taken for HDR compositing... If they're just single photos where you did masking work and level adjustments, then I have to say you need sharper edges and advice on better selection areas... hehe

BTW, in Fighter Country, it looks like your car was repainted panel by panel using different batches of paint by MAACO or something Just sayin'... Nice camera work though.

yup I shoot all my photos in raw, yes all moved around all exposure settings. 3 shots on the tripod all different exposures. Some are just on the tripod with different exposure setting to get a darker effect and bring out background colors. The one with the orangish sky was on rocks and tripod moved a hair

so is my sig hdr also?
what about these?

It's possible to make night shots turn out like that, even without shooting in RAW. Just have a stable tripod, good light sources, and/or some Photoshop skills. I am leaning towards them being HDR shots, or it was just really damn bright outside of the parking structure (doubtful).

nope not hdr and not so bright in the parking garage its all how long you leave the shutter open. Those pics were shot in raw the saved as a jpg then open it up with photoshop auto levels, auto contrast, auto color, and save

Hey, you asked what I think and I replied. I'm not too big of a fan of the whole random-circles-of-mixed-exposure-levels-with-ultra-soft-edges-when-they-should-be-sharp look. The pic of the 1st gen Camaro is not bad at all, except for the fact that the guy behind the hood is B&W and half of his pants are full saturated color. Just some constructive criticism. I'd take your camera over mine any day - lol.

Yeah, I know. Usually indoor parking garages are insanely bright compared to distant outdoor sodium vapor lights, why I figured it's possible that it's HDR... I've taken my fair share of night shots...
