HDR Pics

Messing around with my new passion.. HDR. These pictures need some work, but these are my first images with my new DSLR. Also messed with two different programs, both making a different look. It was getting a bit dark, so maybe these may have looked way better. Any photo heads feel free to give me any advice

are you taking these with a tripod? That should be first and foremost. I say this because in the 2nd pic, the clouds in the sky look really blurred. Either use the timer setting on your camera or get a remote trigger to fire off the shots on your camera to reduce camera shake as much as possible.

Also, what settings are you using for your bracketed pics? I usually use a -2, 0, and +2. The first pic seems to be processed wrong, theres way too much noise on the front bumper and sides of your car.

Theres a number of good guides online

I'm still experimenting with HDR as well. Its easy to get carried away with the effects and then your picture will end up kind of "cartoony" which although may look cool, makes the picture look overdone and kind of odd.

So just keep practicing, theres also a photography section here on the boards and the people there are helpful

Heres an HDR pic from the last shoot I did of my car had to scale down the quality though because of photobucket

I used a tripod and used -2 -1 0 +1 +2. I dunno why all that noise is there, it was there even before tone mapping and photo shopping. I think it looks blurred because it didn't align 100% when I processed the images to HDR. I also think I probably didnt have enough light focusing on the subject (sun was completely down). Maybe I should have probably took the pics faster, giving the clouds less time to move? I'll look over that tutorial again, thanks man and you car looks good

A good start. Perhaps your ISO was set too high?
