pic 4 and 5 are nice. #5's hillside is too prominent, detracting a bit from the car themselves. But #4 is got a great ghostly sheen to it that I just dig.

Do you use photoshop to combine the different exposures to make the HDR shot or how do you go about that?

For those who've been asking, here's my step-by-step:
Shoot in RAW format (in this case 3 exposures using my camera's AEB feature)
Use Photoshop CS3 to crop, color correct, and convert each RAW to .TIFF
Use Photomatix (http://www.hdrsoft.com/) to merge TIFFs to HDR
Tonemap in Photomatix
In this case, I combined 2 HDRs in CS3, one more extreme one for the background/pavement and one more subtle one for the cars/sky.
Clean up in CS3

Thanks for all the comments/critiques. I would like to lower my car, but I don't have the money for coilovers (except the adobe ones ) right now and I don't really see springs as a performance mod. As for my friends, see my earlier post... surprising amount of hate for cars that are pretty much stock

If cornering fast is one of your first on your list then coilovers have to be the biggest improvement. Too bad you cant lower your car.



please enlighten me on why lowering a car is more important than anything else.
Not saying it is most important but show me a clean s2000 that hasnt been lowered but has been mildly modified. And Ill show you 10 stock s2000's that have only been lowered and look way better.
