My Attempt at a HDR Photo...

I put this together using five different exposures & photomatix software....The scene isn't the greatest but I was just trying to see if it would work first before I try to get creative with some shots! Let me know what ya'll think!
Thanks,
Anthony

That looks really good bro! You gotta show me how to do the HDR on my camera.

looks good bro

Its actually really easy with yours because you're camera does bracketing...next meet i'll show ya how, its pretty easy actually!

Cool, thanks bro!

No problemo Dude...Thanks Shawn!

I think it looks fantastic!!!

OK, I'm gonna ask it.......What is HDR?

Oh I'm so glad you asked that! I had no idea what that meant either!

Well this is the second thread that is talking about it so I thought I'd better ask.. Just in case I'm totally missing out on something.

WIkipedia explains it best for ya guys...Thanks for looking! Basically takes all the light in the photo and all of the contrast in the photo and combines them together for one cool looking photo

In image processing, computer graphics, and photography, high dynamic range imaging (HDRI or just HDR) is a set of techniques that allow a greater dynamic range of luminances between light and dark areas of a scene than normal digital imaging techniques or photographic prints. This wider dynamic range allows HDR images to more accurately represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes ranging from direct sunlight to faint starlight.[1]

The two main sources of HDR imagery are computer renderings and merging of multiple photographs, which in turn are known as low dynamic range or LDR images.[2] Tone mapping techniques, which reduce overall contrast to facilitate display of HDR images on devices with lower dynamic range, can be applied to produce images with preserved or exaggerated local contrast for artistic effect.

How do I know if my camera can do it? Or do all cameras have the ability you just have to have the software?

Thanks for the explanation Anthony!

most all cameras have the ability to do it. Just have to figure out how to change the exposure on your camera and have a tripod. O yeah, and either Photomatix or photoshop in order to merge the multiple images....

no problemo! Thanks!

I'm now playing with my camera! I knew this did alot of stuff but i never really went through all of the features! I got a good deal! I can even record voice messages on my photos! How cool is that!

Looks real good Anthony. I've seen a lot of HDR's that are WAY overdone. You did a nice job of keeping it looking real.

Another really cool effect to try out sometime is the "Orton Effect" (no, has nothing to do with Kyle Orton). Google it sometime and you'll find plenty of instructional sites that give you different ways to do it. You need photoshop or some similar program to do it. It's worth checking out.

that looks good bro. i need one of those fancy shmancy cameras so i could take some decent pics of my ride. unless...someone wouldnt mind taking some shots for me. i want a couple good shots.

yup photomatix rock!!!!!!!I have done some in 3 exposures though..They come out darker...Looks good Anthony

Thanks bro...Yeah i've found out that five exposures captures the light a little bit better!

Looks great and so does that Charger!!!

Thanks!!

that looks pretty sick
