So a friend and I decided to go take some pics at a nearby garage...out of all 70+ here are the best....Some are repeats but there are differences. Lemme know what you think.

Looks like you were compiling images for HDR?

I really like the first one.

 

[Antoniogut]

nope...i dunno how to do HDR lol.

1st is my favorite for sure, looks like somethin that should be in a Mazda Magazine

You can make HDR photos using Photoshop (or other programs) by compiling three or more images taken of the same object, but at different exposure settings (+1, 0, -1 at least...can go up from there). The software then compiles the images, and with a bit of cleanup, you get something like this:

Basically, the longer exposure times gets the whites and light colors without being too dark, the shorter gets the darks without being too light. Combine it all and you get some pretty interesting/spectacular shots.

HDR shots seem pretty interesting indeed. I have a D60 and I've been meaning to try, but I'm not sure they would come out so good freehand, but tripods arent very cheap...haha

right now... Car Mods > Camera Accessories

I got a $15 tripod from bestbuy that works like a charm

love the pics...i have a d80 and it is definitly going to waste...you aced the aperture settings on the first one. i've got a macro but your regular lens did the perfect close-up job

 

[dkswim]

Standard is an 18 to 55 mm with a focus down to .9 ft (fellow XTi user)

 

[NiteRunner]

Sorry if I missed it, but what camera are you using?
I carry my Canon550 for quick snaps, but thinking of getting something for stuff like that. The low light capability is amazing, and where my mini shooter is seriously lacking.

 

[dkswim]

i think he is using a canon digital rebel XTi. in hindsight i wish i saved up for a Nikon D700 or D300 a photographer friend of mine has one and i like it a little better.

 

[Antoniogut]

ya its a Rebel Xti with the normal starter lens (18-55mm)

it takes amazing pictures.

Nikon is a good brand but they are a bit overrated I think, IMO

You have to see the originals on a good high def monitor they look even better
