VgSlag Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 I've been trying to get this HDR lark working for while. I think I've got it mainly sussed now but need to work on the colors and stuff. Quote
marzman Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Mate, that looks brilliant. Im gonna have to look up what this HDR stuff is - cos i want a picture like that! Quote
GIXXERUK Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 nissan should have altered the dynamic range of the paint - that looks so Quote
ARphotographs Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Good first real attempts, look into "tone mapping" a bit more, and once you learn what differences that can make, your pics will end up looking like mine/jay's car hope that helps Adam Quote
jim Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 I'm thinking of investing in a Canon 400D because I have a few Canon lenses I could use with it. Can anybody explain in simple terms what HDR is? Quote
VgSlag Posted June 11, 2008 Author Posted June 11, 2008 High dynamic range means you have a broad range of detail from high and low colors. My terminology may be a bit off but roughly the way it works is you take N pictures - here I used 3 - with different shutter speeds. With the fast shutter speed photo you only let a fraction of light through... That gives you details in your clouds. I then took a regular photo and then took a slow shutter speed photo... This gives you detail in your shadows. You can then use PhotoShop or Photomatix (I think it's called that) to blend all that detail in to just one photo giving you these very detailed unusual photos. If you google them you'll find some tutorials. Quote

The difference now is the ability to combine the exposures to achieve these brilliant effects. Oh, by the way, you need a stubby. Quote
VgSlag Posted June 11, 2008 Author Posted June 11, 2008 I was actually going to ask about that. Which one fits best? The term on digital cameras is Automatic Exposure Bracketing (AEB). Quote
Sarnie Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 I'd consider buying a GM if they looked like that in real life Great pics Quote
jim Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 I was actually going to ask about that. Which one fits best? The Honda stubby is the one most people go for. They are available on eBay right now. Quote
H5 Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 I'd consider buying a GM if they looked like that in real life Great pics They do in real life, because your eye should be able to see all that detail at once. Quote
ab20000 Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 what wheels are these? (+size and off-set) Think they look really good - offset looks spot on Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 what wheels are these? (+size and off-set) Think they look really good - offset looks spot on Think its the ones on here http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic ... ht=#196121 (Maybe not those exat ones!) Quote
