HDR is the shiz, if you don't know what it is, check these links:

Here is my first attempt, done using a basic canon dig camera and photoshop CS4.

Not amazing, but not aweful IMHO :P

Re: HDR Attempt #1
 

I think it looks really good. You got just a tad white washed in the back by the garbage cans but some careful burning in PS:CS4 would touch that up very nicely.

Re: HDR Attempt #1
 

Pretty nice pic.

Open parking lots and sunsets are the best for hdr's though

Re: HDR Attempt #1
 

I think a little cropping and your golden.

HDR=Home Depot Racing

I seriously just jumped to the picture and was trying to see if you had some kind of lip on there made from some trim crap or something lol.

Re: HDR Attempt #1
 

HDR is really hard (read: pretty much impossible) without having an uncompressed raw image file (gif, jpg, etc. are compressed), and the image can not be overexposed with bright white light anywhere in it. It's cool to see what you did though, Photoshop is fun. :) Check out Adobe Lightroom too.

Re: HDR Attempt #1
 

To me it just looks like a normal day picture. I see no hdr.

Re: HDR Attempt #1
 

I've got CS4 and Lightroom, CS4 comes with an HDR rendering utility built-in, works pretty good!

Yea that doesnt look too hdr-ed, maybe the trees look a little like it.

I really want a nice camera to take some sweet pics, been pondering picking up one up and attempting to shoot like this. I wish...

The 'look' I'm going for can be seen in the second link in the first post, people have done some amazing HDR renderings and posted them to flickr, just blows my mind. This is kinda where i'd like to go:

Re: HDR Attempt #1
 

HDR just needs the correct balance of light and dark and no direct sunlight to be effective.

Re: HDR Attempt #1
 

In the dog pic someone really needs a tan. LOL jk

Re: HDR Attempt #1
 

Yeah, I was thinking the same. Them legs almost overloaded your white balance. Jeans next time :P

Re: HDR Attempt #1
 

Is that Supra pic taken at Elite? That picture looks amazing!

Re: HDR Attempt #1
 

Yeah, thats Elite

Looks a lot different without all the shelves, tools, dyno, and automotive stuff along the walls.

Re: HDR Attempt #1
 

Hot damn that pic at elite is awesome. Too bad its empty now.

Re: HDR Attempt #1
 

Elite is empty now? That pic was taken pretty recently.

Re: HDR Attempt #1
 

Yup, about a month ago they cleared everything out. I was installing alky kits and intercoolers in S4's just before they took out the lifts.

Re: HDR Attempt #1
 

Neat.

Didn't know about HDR and wanted to attempt it too.
My digicam doesn't take auto bracketting with RAW format so I did it with jpg. As you can see, I just download Photomatix Pro trial and used that (just have that watermark on it)

Fun stuff to play with. I was cleaning the tractors (Cub cadet, Simplicity, and Minn Moline) and decided to take a pic of it yesterday. I used +- 1/3EV but the +- 1EV worked a little better I think.

Re: HDR Attempt #1
 

Nice! Ill have to try out photomax.

Re: HDR Attempt #1
 

I have been waiting for my new camera to show up in the mail, and it has finally arrived. here are a couple of my experiments with HDR photography.

One using Photomatrix...this was a very easy to use program and it give the image a very cool look.

Here is my attempt with PhotoShop CS...This was alot harder to do on photoshop CS.

Re: HDR Attempt #1
 

Looks really good...

Re: HDR Attempt #1
 

The trees look really weird and the lights have zero contrast to them, but the car looks decent.

Re: HDR Attempt #1
 

My dark exposure i took i think was too dark. it was my first try at it.

Re: HDR Attempt #1
 

Just constructive criticism. :) HDR really requires a perfectly exposed picture to start with, otherwise it just blows any sort of under or over exposure way out of proportion.

Re: HDR Attempt #1
 

Here are my two attempts at hdr with photomatix...

Re: HDR Attempt #1
 

^^Now that's a good one. I'd post pics of mine but I already posted them up in my thread a little bit ago.

Re: HDR Attempt #1

Re: HDR Attempt #1
 

So Anthony and I tried some HDR last weekend. There are two that we first did from my school to try to figure some stuff out. We tried to make some look more realistic and others really HDRish, but here is how some of them turned out...we still need to remove the water marks but one thing at a time.

This is my fav one I did I think:

Re: HDR Attempt #1
 

I forgot...we also tried to do blending between two pictures using HDR and it actually worked out semi-well:
