those aren't bad looking shots of ur car vipor but they don't look "HDR". plus taking one picture and turning it into an HDR by upping and lowering the exposure in post doesn't yield the same results as shooting +2 and -2 EV in the field. you can't create detail in the shadows and highlights that wasn't there to begin with. not saying there's anything wrong with doing it that way, just not the same results

ah, shows what I know. I was told they were, so I thought they were. They still do look over exposed and such, but I see what you're saying about the difference.

Typically, with HDR you are taking about 3-5 shots of the same image but in different but equal exposures on a scale. Like for instance: -3, -1, 0, +1, +3. This will give you extreme lights and extreme darks. You take those 5 images and import them into PS as and HDR composition and PS will allow you to edit and compose the single image. Typically, I have a stand for these kinds of shoots cause I cant hold the camera still enough and get 5 identical shots at different exposures.
I hope that kinda helps explain some of the process. I will find one of my old HDR's and post it up.

Oh and nice shots of the car but I agree that they probably came from a single original. I've seen pretty good HDR effects from using a single RAW file but it seems that taking multiple shots is preferred. |

I'd definitely recommend a tripod. Some cameras have a bracket feature where it will snap multiple shots at different exposures automatically. You could probably get away with handheld shots that way but I'd still just use a tripod.

I could definitely get some codes but they probably aren't supposed to be posted on here. Rapidshare = win.

Bah I suck at this. I'm not having any luck producing the same results at high resolutions. Any HDR gurus have some insight on why I'm having so much trouble? I've tried tweaking everything in qtpfsgui and photomatix. It either turns out noisy as hell or completely undramatic.

and that's why i've gotten to the point where i just don't even mess with HDR, especially for cars

less photomatix, more photoshop! photomatix seems AWESOME at first but looses its flame quickly. making a picture with high dynamic range is very complicated and involves many different layers and much time. every aspect of the picture has to be tweaked separate from the rest, hence the many layers!

****** Tilt Shift Photography *******
You guys want to talk about awesome, check out these pictures of various Formula 1 races using Tilt-Shift Photography .......
Formula One Through Tilt-Shift Lenses - Photography - Jalopnik I'm sure someone on this board with a better aptitude for complex ideas can explain how these images are created. That, or I guess I can wiki it and find out Martin Last edited by speed_BMW330i; 01-26-2010 at 01:03 AM. |
