Downloaded the trial photomatix about 30 mins ago and took a couple of shots. I don't know much about editing so I was just 'playing' around with the bars in the program.

 

pictures look good.

now take some updated pictures of your whole car

 

Those pics hurt my eyes. There's no need for HDR in shots like that.

 

meh

 

waht happened to whole shots of the car dude...dam them ap2 parts are really messing with ur mind huh!!!

 

thanks for the comments, i know i def need to work on it. i will sooner than later. As far as the whole car goes, not until I get my drop. It's embarassing.

 

Next time just remember to take the wax off the plastic peices!

 

You should focus on taking shots properly before tinkering with it in photoshop. Too many newbies never bother to learn the basics and start mucking around in photoshop. ESPECIALLY with the highlights and shadows feature for some f'ng reason. Makes all the photos look weird and crappy by giving off weird glowing edges.

Go find photography forums for tips and advice. Don't ask them in a car forum. You'll get much better critiques and advice. And don't be offended by harsh criticism. It'll only make you better.

 

u dont know how many times ive told him that!loll

 

Trust me, I am not offended--I am not photographer and well, it shows. I am hoping to get better, I am currently working on losing the noise from my nighttime long-shutter pictures. I was going for the glowing edges because I thought it looked cool. As far as the wax, I never noticed it until these pictures! I will be detailing my car soon, maybe Thanksgiving weekend. I will not miss a spot.
