G2Z- looking good. im a little confused on your last shot (and the shot that you're using in your avatar) because the reflection or shadow on your car looks like someone spray painted your car gray.

i first thought it was my screen but then it looks like that on 3 other screens including my droidx and MBP... is it suppose to be like that?

Thanks Ken... yeah... it's the result of the HDR "render". I didn't get a chance to photoshop it yet. Come to think of it, I don't even HAVE photoshop... LOL. I need to use NX2 or something... Yeah, in that first one, like my avatar, if you notice, the door handles are grayish too. It's good learning, so I know how to fix it for next time. But the HDR concept themselves are very interesting. I like it.

HAHA... I like the smug look man. You look like someone just messed with your Z

Go for it! I was reading about it all this time too and I finally tried it out... loved it... and bought the software... lol.... It's something different, if anything.

Would you be able to doctor that image in photoshop (I don't have it

) to show me what it "should" look like? After Ken's comment, now it's all I see

I might try to render it again tonight, so see if I can do something with tone mapping, etc.... to fix it

was gonna say that looks like western washington... derp haha

wilsonp · 08-10-2011, 06:40 PM

I wouldn't suggest a painting a whole door - at that point your more drawing then photographing. Plus it can be really, really tricky to match multiple direction gradients on something like a curved surface leaning away from you

I think the HDR shots are just overdone - if you toned it down (a lot) and or combined it with a regular image masked, you could just use the HDR DR compression where you need it, not sure the car did.

Can you post the originals, or the one that has the best look for the car?
