Took some HDR-like pics of my car the other day this week

I didnt have to combine any images, just used my camera, lens, and camera raw 4.5 :-)

what do you think..?

The pictures of your car are very nice. Its a little harder for me to see the HDR-like qualities in the other pictures however.

I find it hard to shoot in bright daylight for HDR. The pictures of the car look really good for the light you were working with. The fish just doesn't have enough shadows. I took this one earlier tonight actually. Since their is already a thread I guess I will share if you don't mind?

no if youre doing HDR's (especially of your ride) you gotta do it on a cloudy/semi cloudy day or a background that has a lot of texture/color to it.

some examples...

d3l0n... try severely adding more contrast to your pics, i think you'll like your results a lot more.

this was just tweaking the contrast and brightness in iPhoto in about 15 sec.
