First time trying HDR photography

As the title states, I just cleaned my car and I decided to try some HDR photography with my new camera (T1i). C&C's welcome!

*If you're wondering why there's not snow on the road, it's because I live on Guam. The only weather we get here are rainy and sunny days.

2.

3.


and for fun:
4.


*Edit 1/4/11
Non-HDR pics Added
5.

6.

7.


Hope you guys like the Non-HDR images better!

Nice G.

I know it's exciting to play with HDR, but try to move away from it. imo, It destroys the photo and makes it look too artificial. I prefer the last photo over all of them.

Yeah I guess you're right. It was my first time because I just learned how and I really like how "artificial" it looks. I like keeping things simple, but I wanted to try something different. To each his/her own I guess.

its possible to use HDR without making each picture look like a cartoony sketch. i wasnt saying too many hdr pics, i was saying too much hdr in each pic.

Oh my bad.
I was actually aiming for the "Cartoony" look because I wanted something different. I think the 3rd pic is TOOO overly done.

What spacer specs do you have on the car? Looks really good. And did you get different tire widths in the rear?
