Bored -- Photo Shoot

I got super bored today and took some pictures of my rig. I went a little bit off the wall with my new HDR technique, but like it because it's not too corny like many other peoples' images. Let me know what you think.

you took HDR pics with no tripod?? the 4th one is the only one that i kind of see some type of HDR.

Steady hands, FTW. Also, I did say that I'm trying a more subtle approach to HDR, as everyone and their mom is trying to do it now and it's gotten out of hand.

Less is more.

I've done hdr shots from a moving car, you dont have to do long exposers for hdr as long as your camera will do bracketing.

I agree that a lot of people are going over the top with hdr just making the pictures look insane but you did a good job, the pictures look sweet.
 
The first location is sweet..Similar to where i will be taking shots of mine when I get it done.
 
Just a Canon D Rebel XTi.

Thanks for all of the kinda words, folks.

Also if you want full resolution pics for desktops or print, let me know.

Love to have these at full resolution for my desk top. (2thumbs)
also off topic but what do you think about D80?

D80 is amazing, after my D50 kicks the bucket thats what I'm buying. That or shell out the extra for a D200, they seem to be dropping in price now that the D300 is out.

Add me to the Nikon fanboy list. Woulda loved to get the D80 but settled for a D60. After ~4000 shots in the last 3 months I'm still loving it. Next on the list is a 55-200mm lens. Between the MS3, camera stuff, and PCs I'm so broke :(

I know how you feel... I'm at 17,000 pictures in 2 years with mine, still takes great pictures but I've been rough with it and I'm starting to get some reoccurring errors. The 55-200mm lens is nice but at a 5.6f its not the best unless youve got real good light conditions or a tripod, SB800 flash doesnt hurt either.

That should be it for my off topic rant, sorry.
