Someone has too much time on their hands... But the pictures look awesome!

hey thanx. this is what i do for a hobby. i work on my car and i shoot pictures (and smoke tons of pot) i think alot of photographers do, all the ones i met do. when im not blitzed or covered in leaking oil... im playing with my daughter. i really dont have much of a life, and this is a fairly cheap hobby (if you buy a stolen camera and use illegally downloaded software) lol

these are the non photoshopped, shot at an even EV and straight out of camera... what do you like more?

Photomatix FTW? or are you using CS4 HDR filters that I'm not familiar with...

I did some HDR stuff with the photomatix program.

I forgot how cool that chit looks... I gotta get some multiple exposure shots with my car now and make some.

looks like youre doin good. i use photomatix and CS2. im a little out of date, but what works for me works. lol some day soon ill try lightroom or something. but so far i think ive been getting some pretty decent photos with what ive got.
the camera is the important thing when it comes to HDR i find. if it cant shoot RAW files, you wont get as good of results in the end. RAW files are HUGE though.

Yeah I need special firmware on my card to allow my camera to do raw... It sucks but works. I have an S5. I've also had good results with just multi exposure jpeg's too.

[SofaKingWeToddDid]

yeah i have too. theyre not AS good, but they get the job done. even with a single CR2 file i can get better results than with 3 or 5 JPGs.
-i shoot with the AK47 of Cameras, its a Canon Digital Rebel XTi. ive dropped it like 200 times, i take it on hikes, bike rides... whereever. i dont use lens caps cuz i dont think i own any... haha im sure my camera is just full of dust and shit. ive never bothered to learn how to clean it. (owned it for like 2 years now too) DSLR cameras are the shit. now im thinking of getting something new by my birthday in December. but im not sure what, i even think i might go to Nikon or something. im not impressed with what my canon does for me.

I would love a DSLR camera... But I spend my money on the car, not on the camera to take pics of the car... LOL
