On a separate note... here are a few shots from the meet. I'm getting so lazy. I didn't end up staying late either so couldn't take more:

I think these came out pretty nice considering the harsh lighting coming from every angle of the car.






My take on this processing (another HDR?):

#1: a lil grainy, composition is ok, need better lighting.

#2: WB off? yellow light on the wall is washed out, although nice beam of light. The car looks crooked, the line on the wall shows the horizon line is crooked as well.

#3: Same comment as #2, but I feel the PP is overdone, and watch out the contrast/ saturation.

In short, what about the original pix without the PP?

yup another HDR. I got into photography for the artistic expression. The time of night was 11pm. I use what I got to make the shot happen. The originals are decent but I like the look of these. I do have them but their boring. Years without an artistic outlet pushes me to do creative things not things you would see by normal means. The grain was purposeful and a part of the post processing. Nope WB isn't off and exactly how I meant it to come out. Unless your referencing the comment that I made... Nuetral lighting is boring why give up different lighting when you don't have to. Don't worry new non-HDR images will be posted when the creativity bug dies.

Glad to hear that you are concentrating on HDR and Creative Post Processing based on your personal preferences. Something that stands out the normal photography style!

i like the first shot...blue looks good on HDR (imo)...but the 2nd and 3rd? lens flare, accident or part of the shot? just gotta remember where the source of light is coming from

lol... Not a very nice way to be constructive eh... He shoulda watched the way he said it. Not very cool for a guy at his postion at the University. You would expect more maturity for a guy of his "status".

The flare on the fender was not planned and was due to the harsh light coming directly in front of the camera. There was also other lighting issues and shadows that were taken out. during the HDR process I toned it down quit a bit but really didn't help the affect I was going for. I know that it's probably the angle of the shot since my hood helped only a little. Due to it's location post processing the flare is pretty difficult. I'll give it another go if it would look better without the flare.

Thanks,

Jon
