Did you use a tripod? How many exposures and did you use Photomatix?
Also what kind of camera? Bracket technique w/tonal mapping?


Looks good.

High Dynamic Range

The front passenger side looks a bit soft, but otherwise it looks good. Not overbaked like most HDR shots.

thanks guys for the good comments, feel free to bash the pic if you see something wrong, as I am trying to perfect my photography skills. I have a Canon Rebel Xti with kit lens, so the image is a bit soft to begin with due to the crappy lens. I will get a better lens when I get some money lol.

I used a combination of photomatix and photoshop to achieve the look on that image and I did use a tripod, however, my camera remote battery died, so I had to press the button with my hand, causing a slight blur as you probably notice in the shadow on the ground. I'll post more later...keep the comments coming!

Could've used the 2/10 second timer instead. Does the XTi have a mirror lock-up function? That helps a bit with camera shake blur as well.

get a plug-in trigger

the kit lens can produce excellent images. Photography is mostly about lighting and exposure.

Your sample HDR is better than what most people come out with. Getting HDR to look right on a car shot is all about controlling reflections.
