My car in HDR!

I like the background in #2, but the car looks too low contrast to me.

Shame you didn't match the WB of the third shot to the other two.

In my opinion, HDR is not conducive to car shots at all, unless you're taking a picture of your car in front of a sunset or something.

Hmmm. If only the car was in Collingwood colours

HDR ≠ Car photos.

Sorry man, they don't do anything for me. All HDR does with cars is make harsh, bad reflections.

Not bad as novelty shots (the HDR treatment) but I don't like the positioning in #2. There is too much wire on top....would rather see some foreground as you did in the other 2.
As already stated the white balance is obviously off in #3.

No. 1 is my preferred if you could clone out that weed in front of the back tire, rotate it a bit clockwise and give it a bit of local contrast boost.
BTW the words "photo by" in your sig are not really needed - why not drop it. The less text the better IIMO.

To much reverse rake... HDR is bleh in the situation.

Do you have a dead body in your trunk?

HDR can work for cars, it just takes special circumstances IMO.

not feeling it

yeah, i actually prefer the natural images compared to the HDRs. I have only just discovered HDR so i thought i would post a few. I've done a some landscapes in HDR and its good for bringing out the shadows and highlights, its also good for improving the skys/clouds. It can easily be overdone which can be interesting and fun but not something i would frame and mount on my wall.

Here a few of the natural images..

They need to be a tad brighter, but other than that they look good. I would rotate them to the right a bit too, they look crooked.

those natural images are way better. if you can tell a photo is hdr you haven't done your job properly, well 99% time. sorry dude.

Why does your back tire have a red ring around it and the front doesn't?

cheers guys! i like the natural look much better aswell

JillOfAllTrades - i scraped off the front redwall to see how it looks without it, and just didnt get around to doing the rest
