Default Just a few shots over the last few months.

Just a new guy here, thought I would post up some pictures I've taken over the past few months. Let me know what you think. Still a little new with the tonemapping and HDR pics. Any tips would be great!!

ooooh nice hey that GT dosent' have a number... why not? I thought they were all supposed to have a number?

Any who the pictues look great...it's funny becuase I was reading up on this HDR and realised that it's software base...so that kinda put me off...dont get me wrong pictures look incredable but I don't know photo editing is just not my thing...mind you I'm not expert when it comes to taking picture either lol.

Pictures look great, thank you for sharing with us...oh so did you detail that GT?

those are beautiful, Ive played a bunch with HDR and tonemapping, its not easy to get the results you got.

Any tips? I'm using photomatix for my tone mapping.

I have a feeling it has most to do with taking the quality photos to begin with, which you seem to also have done well.

There are some with stripes, and then there is the Gulf paint job which does have numbers. That one didn't have either stripe package, one of two i've seen that way. Looks great!!

Back on topic: Great pictures you've taken, I especially love the Vegas picures and the one of the bridge.

PS Nice termy, what do you have done to it?

Thanks guys for all the compliments!!

Scott: Thanks man. I was looking through some of your shots, I see I can probably learn a few things from you.

Nica: As others have said I don't think they are numbered. His does have the stripe delete though. As far as the HDR, I've only been working with it for a week or so now. That's the 3rd picture I've done. It's actually fairly easy, the program does all of the work for you. I'll post the steps here in a few, to show you the stages of the picture. Haha, I haven't detailed it yet. It's my bosses car, I did a shotoshoot of all of his car's in his shop.

Dontsleeponit: Don't really have any tips as far as tonemapping or HDR. Except for the fact that in the week I've had the program, the original pictures are a great start to a good tonemap image. The better the picture, the better the tonemapping turns out.

Divine Detail: Haha, the bridge one is right before I got yelled at by security for taking pictures. I guess when tourists have a point and shoot camera, and you have a big lens and a tripod they single you out. As far as the Cobra, I have since sold it. But I had the usual upper and lower pulleys, catless exhaust, intake and tune. Put down 506whp and 521wtq.

Duratys: That's what I love about tonemapping and HDR. I just love the look!!
