HDR pics after a detail
The wife has been playing around with HDR pics, so I got her to take a few of my car. If you guys have any post them up I love seeing these.

Re: HDR pics after a detail
For those of you that don't know, HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. What this means is getting a photo that has very vidid and detailed colored areas (typically in the shadows) as well as bright colored areas that aren't blown out. Most cameras, even high priced DSLR's have limited dynamic range, much less than the human eye, which is why sometimes a photo can look a bit flat compared to what your eye may have seen.
HDR is the process of ""stacking" several photos of exactly the same image taken at different exposures to expand the dynamic range to make photos that really pop. The stacking is done using photo software typically on a computer, although some cameras and phones now have this capability built in.
If overdone, the photos can take on a real grungy look because the level of detail adds "noise" to the photo. Some people like this, and some don't. It's all personal preference.
Here are a couple I did of my 1988 Trans Am. These were done by stacking 3 photos together and doing the HDR post-procesings in Photoshop.

Beautiful car Citation... What are the details of the paint on your car. I love it it's right along the lines I want to go.

Re: HDR pics after a detail
Thanks for the kind words. I love the bird kfsullivan. Great pics too. I love the hdr shots. I need to do some when it's cloudy out. Clouds look killer in hdr. Plus the blue in my car tends to wash out the sky some.

KF, your photos havent pushed the limits quite as far, which I prefer. You could almost argue it's just one "layer" of exposure, without a trained eye. Citation's photos almost start to get into "art", which isn't my preference per se. ....BUT....they're all still awesome photos!

Re: HDR pics after a detail
Ya I was on the fence with them at first. Then they grew on me. I really wanted one to get put on a shirt. Even if I don't get the actual picture, I would like one that looks like a drawing or painting but with some of the detail you get from the hdr pictures.

Re: HDR pics after a detail
I guess I was mistaken after talking to her again. Only one of them was done in true hdr. I will have her do some more actual hdr when I find another good spot to take them.
