Default I started playing around with HDR

Started creating HDR pictures today because of a couple of pictures I saw. It didn't seem too hard to do, so I went outside quickly and snapped some pictures of my friend's Lexus and this is the end result:

Unfortunately no Audi content until tomorrow, after I give her a nice detail.

HDR is really cool! I want to start messing with that to when I get my new camera!

Wow, really cool pic, how do you achieve that effect? Do you photoshop it or something?

It's an HDR (High Dynamic Range) picture. You have to take 3 or more pictures of the exact same shot with multiple exposure. Then using photoshop you can combine them. Here is a link to a good tutorial on it: http://luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/hdr.shtml

I was gonna get a 30D but ended up going with the Rebel XTi.

I would post up the HDR's of the Audi, but photobucket is being lame and won't load for me. Maybe later tonight.

wow thats neat...I always had a thing for learning photography. I am looking to get the Cannon 870IS for the wide angel lens. I was going to get a 900IS but my friend said.

1.) No wide lens
2.) 12.1 Megapixel on such a tiny lens/point and shoot --is pointless.

Okay.. so unfortunately there's watermarks on the pictures because I'm only using a trial version of Photomatix, but after seeing the capabilities of the program I'm definitely gonna be buying it.

Without further ado..
