TheHaze Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 HDR shots look amazing in SOME situations. This isn't one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04silvrz Posted May 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 eh, i like them. dude those are bad ass pictures. what kind of program or filter do you use for that effect? it's the camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankis Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 dude those are bad ass pictures. what kind of program or filter do you use for that effect? Geoff, you have to have a camera that can manually focus generally, yours would probably work. You use a tripod, and take a bunch of pictures, each with a different distance away in focus. Like one with the skyline in focus, and the car slightly blurry, then the front of the car in focus, then the rear, then the bridge, then the river, etc. etc. etc. After you've got your collection together, you can use the "merge to HDR" function in photoshop. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 it's the camera. Bullshit. You are using PS CS2 or newer or photomatix. Some type of image editing program to combine the multiple shots. I think the shots look good though. Too bad it was overcast. I've played with HDR in CS3 and was pretty impressed with the results just from combining -1, 0 and +1 EV. Automotive shots lend themselves to HDR. Nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04silvrz Posted May 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 eek, sorry, i don't know much about it. it was my friends setup, he did do something in photoshop. i thought it had more to do with the camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy! Any camera can do it. You just need a tripod. His D200 is more than capable. Its not the focus point. High Dynamic Range. It means a large change in the exposure values. You take a minimum of three images, all at different exposure values. One is metered to capture shadows, one metered to capture the highlights and the rest fall somewhere in between. Its the software that combines the multiple images. I would imagine changing focal length and focal point would play havoc with combining the images in the software.

spankis Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 btw, here are some epically good HDR shots, for those who've not seen really well done examples. http://img103.imageshack.us/img103/7974/img977567ff0.jpg http://img352.imageshack.us/img352/3861/newzv9.jpg http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/1599/1381065591dee84ca565bou2.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, good info, I've yet to try to put one together myself, just admired the work of others. Are you sure there's no change in focus? What accounts for the look of "everything in focus" that comes with HDR images? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Nice car...meant to say that in another post. Photo-wise, these and others suffer from what I call HDR Over-done. Outside in nature shots, one can pull it off, however, I would suggest having your friend use a minimum of 5-7 image done in 1/2 to 1 full stop intervals. Indoor photography can be a bit easier if you control the light. Key IMO to pull indoor shots off is to not be able to tell there was any extra lighting used. Otherwise you end up with what I call cartoon-ish like renderings....but then some like that look....I prefer natural. Here are some examples using a simple Canon 40D. http://www.pbase.com/pdqgp/image/97747765.jpg http://www.pbase.com/pdqgp/image/97747767.jpg http://www.pbase.com/pdqgp/image/97747766.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AudiOn19s Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Good looking car. I really like it when they're cleanly done like yours. But I have to ask...why is the rear low (where it looks right) and the front soo high? Get that nose of the car down another 20-30mm and it'll be fantastic.

Clifford Automotive Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Tims got it. I knew he would be in here. Here is another expample of outdoor HDR http://farm1.static.flickr.com/120/290063424_82b51b5adc_b.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am either going to put 'spring boosters' in the back, or cut the front another 1/2 coil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

04silvrz Posted May 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 yeah, i know. thanks! hondas / acuras are known to sag in the back. that's what I meant. part of it is the way the fenders are cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
