The thing you guys have TO REMEMBER about HDR (High Dynamic Range) is doing what your camera can not do, for example, capturing detail when inside a room and looking outside on a bright sunny day that'd be an HDR shot.

So what you have to remember is DO NOT go over the top, you'll get haloing etc.

So Photomatix can be done correctly to pull detail from the tires and darkest parts of the car to regain detail.

However this can be done in photoshop with what I like to call "Selective HDR"

You want to add a "Exposure" adjustments layer, and then mask off properly, so bring the exposure up properly... but be cautious, cause if you don't get a good enough exposure in the first place or placing your Zone 6 or 7 -- then IMMENSE noise can come out of the Zone's 3, 2, 1, and 0's.

Hmm this is like scientific talk ha oops!

^^right on. I get better results that rival HDR just from using photoshop and using things like selective color and using A LOT of different layers and masks.

ok thanks for the info, but my pics. were just taking with my phone and put on here no photoshop-HDR-etc...

k20z3 · 06-13-2010, 09:54 PM

You can HDR any image with 1 single exposure.

Cool, i have sony vegas pro and i've played with it some but it makes the pics. very small after. I don't know why really, but thanks for the info.

I think its so cool how some cameras have auto exposure bracketing, mine doesnt, but id love to get my hands on that! talk about a field day!

AEB, I never use... I guess I should but I guess it's more fun with trying to tame nature ... sometimes sucks but then IDC cause I shoot fashion! ha!

Here are a few shots of my wife's new 2010 Z. Nothing done to it yet but I'm sure we'll do a few things without voiding the warranty.

Just a crappy point-and-shoot, some patience, and very little editing. I really, really cannot wait to get my hands on a decent DSLR.

There are more in my photo album. I'll try a night photo soon.
