Cars, bikes and other vehicles in HDR (photos)

[niccce]

This thread is for some nice vehicle HDR images.


The rules : ( please read before posting )

• On-topic images only.
• HDR images only ( tone mapped single-exposure HDRIs are arguable ).
• Strictly follow the rules of imaging resources ( i.e. if it says that reposted image should always link to whatever page it says, then it should ).
• Please state clearly whether the image is taken by yourself or is courtesy of third parties.
• Images should have reasonable size ( both KB- and dimension-wise ).

If you don't know what HDRI is, see wiki.

Ah I see you linked to my guide. Hope you guys find it useful As for those 2 shots I think they're a bit ott for my tastes. Its like they've put everything on max and hoped for the best. This is how I use HDR.

Im guessing the only way to 'make' these pics is by owning a really good camera. Am I right?

 

[petemc]

Read my guide. As long as your camera shoots RAW or you can take 3 pics underexposed, overexposed and a normal one then it'll work. Just that with digital compacts the noise will be hideous.

 

[Davetouch]

thanks but its just that I dont have a great camera. Its a bit crap. :lol: I doubt it will be able to do the taking 3 pics or RAW stuff

Nice tutorial, thanks Pete

Tried on a really nasty exposure of Alen.. Really salvaged the shot nicely!

Speedtouch: What camera do you use?

I dont know. But it cost less than ?100. I think thats enough. I want a new (very good) camera but I am saving up for a HD TV. So yer. Its a Samsung. I know that much. and i know its crap.

 

[petemc]

Ah it may not work then

 

[Soundsession]
