HDR shots.....my first try
So, I posted this in Photography as well, but figured here would get more exposure. Took some HDR pics for the first time. Let me know what you think and where I can improve. I'm gonna try to get some more practice this weekend hopefully, and I need some better locations with more contrast, but anyways, enjoy! 
Second to last is my favorite by far!!!

that looks great.....except for the HUGE wheels....a bit over kill and dont look quite right. But the HDR is amazing.....
I just got lazy with the tires, but whatever. I'm gonna hopefully shoot a slew of cars this weekend, so hopefully I can brush up on my skills.....

Ksuchdeve, yeah, those are photoshopped rims on there...in fact, that whole image is basically photoshopped...can you spot the chopped areas?

theres a few areas... i THINK i can spot... but to a "normal" person who dosent do PS or web design or graphics, etc... it would look decent. The biggest giveaway is the tires... the angle/lighting... but still... nice job.

haha....I know how you feel. I still have your number. I will PM you mine as well just incase. Call me when you get out of work, I'm always around on saturdays. My buddy will be working at the Hotel across from culvers on HWY, so I will most likely be there most of the afternoon. If it's nice, we might BBQ if you care to come up and hang out for a bit!

well, to an extent. You can do it with any digital camera that will allow you to adjust exposure settings. Most HDR images use 3 separate exposures, usually -1, 0, and +1. I used 5 from -2 to +2

but yes, like johnny said, get yourself a camera that will allow you adjust the exposure settings yourself...most cameras nowadays should let you do that...
