hdr attempt

here's an attempt at an hdr picture. the hood may look funny cuz i was trying to shop out the cloud reflections. and possibly other parts too.
c&c on how to make the hdr look a little less video-gamey but noticeable would help

I didn't notice that, so you did a pretty good job with it.

To me, most car HDR looks "video-gamey". I think you need to find a way to get rid of the obvious halo around the body first. But I don't do HDR, so I have no idea what causes that problem.

i think its the setting on whatever HDR program used, that makes the diffrence bewteen light and dark areas in the set of exposures more dramatic. it sees a highlight area because of the edge of the car and then has a hard time judging when the object stops. so a halo appears. id dink around with the presets on the HDR settings in whatever program your using. i like how the walls of the building turned out agenst the sky.

you did a good job on the hood, if you hadnt said anything none of us would have seen it. (edit your post lol)
