What do you use to throw the pics together Cal? Photomatix? Shots came out really sick.

When I started doing HDR, I would create HDRI's using single RAW files. But now that I've experimented a little, I prefer HDRI's with multiple exposures over one RAW file. That is, I've created HDRI's of the same exact scene using both one RAW file and three exposures. 8/10 times I prefer the HDRI's created from multiple exposures. I wasn't getting enough dynamic range out of a single RAW file. The only time I prefer using a single RAW file is when there are moving subjects in the frame. Below is an HDRI created with three exposures (again, hand held) with moving subjects in the frame. http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r...n/43de050c.jpg I re-did this with one RAW file and it came out better since the car/bike are not blurred. BUT! The overall quality of the "HDRI" didn't come out as well. The most noticeable difference is the sky. It looks way better in the HDRI created from multiple exposures. |

None of these were Photoshopped. |
Yea, I understand that a multiple file HDR is usually better, I'm just amazed you could hand hold the bracketed shots without a tripod. I can barely handhold a single shot in low light conditions. Nice Job!

Given the right conditions, 6.5FPS (frames per second) FTW! Actually...Marcus's D300's 8FPS FTGDMFW! :bowdown: Marcus, just you wait until I get my 5D mkII! :11: LOL, yeh right. :rolleyes: Like that'll be any time soon. :7: :p

Last shot is my fav of the bunch, very nice composition with the sun behind the car. Would have been an even sicker shot if the front wheel was turned a little more away from the camera. Nice series Cal. Yeh, I was more concerned with holding the camera steady long enough to get three still exposures. And this is why I hate doing sunset shoots. IMO, there's only 15 minutes of good lighting! So I was more focused on getting three still exposures in the short amount of time that I had than the small details. :( And I generally dislike the warm tones that the sunset provides. |
I really like most the pics you take. But, the HDR treatment kinda kills it for me, personally. Makes the pics look too washed out with no low tones.. I've seen some great usage of the hdr process where the colors look rich.

Pics look good to me, Cal.
Great job! :biggthumpup: |
