Post HDR pics, you punks.

Jeff Goji's car, with new 36 mm bumpstops = teh sex.






I don't usually like the looks of the NC, but this one I would die for.


HDR doesn't seem to reap any additional benefits in parking lots at night...




I got into a staring contest with this car and lost. :(


Taken with a Powershot S2 IS, automatic exposure bracketing at -2, 0, +2... Only three exposures each.

so is noise from the longest exposure a normal side-effect of HDR? I notice it in a few images.

Pretty cool otherwise. the sky looks phenomenal.

The STI looks very angry. It's eyebrows, flared nostril, and bleak mouth say it all.

The noise is most likely a result of short exposure length and then extreme levels adjustment to compensate. And then there's a point at which you're just not going to get detail in the darker areas - you reach the limits of the equipment. You can remove the noise at the price of detail to some extent:

I don't mind the noise in these shots.

The noise was from me not checking what the ISO setting was. It could've been easily avoided but I forgot.
Also, people actually use HDR to get rid of noise in the shadows, but that usually works better by taking 5 or more different exposures.

It seems for HDR to make the picture really stand out, you need to have a certain highlight in mind when you're processing the photos. I chose the sky and that's the reason I took the pictures.

I know nothing about the HDR stuff, I've seen it before, but I don't know whats involved or how to. But damn, ******* pictures can look crazy different. My favorite of that group is the NC with a glass like finish look to it. The red on the NA really comes out red hunh? After I post this I might google a how to and see whats involved in getting into this.

Keep these pics coming!

Today I'll be hanging out with some fellow turbo Miata peeps. Lets hope the sky will look nice and I'll remember to check the ISO setting.

This was a 5 exposure one using a Casio Exilim. Scott threw it together using photomatix.

Can someone enlighten me on how to take pictures like this? I have a 4 MP cybershot.

so far this is my best. I still need lots of practice on taking pictures for one, and then composing them.







Bryce, too grainy, needs more post-processing

You take 3 (or 5) images at varying exposures, and then put them into a photo editor that supports HDR, like photomatix.
