god I hate photo bucket...this isn't the over processed HDR that you usually see nowadays(I haven't figured that out yet)



looks pretty sharp though.

High Dynamic Range imaging? Sounds pretty wonkish to me. . .

http://www.hdrjapan.com/ this is the HDR stuff that is what I feel is "over processed", I like it, but im still figuring out the software and the settings on my camera,



this one slightly tweaked, kinda cool.

its a lot easier to shoot with a tripod...I def need to get one, I am doing the "poor" way, ideally you want to take at least 3pics, each with a different exposure setting (usually one will be 0, another -2 and another +2), the way I've been fiddling with it is taking the one pic that's a 0, and adjusting the exposure settings with the program itself, but according to a lot of guides I read, doing it that way sometimes causes the photos to lose their "luster" and don't come out as great as they could be.

the second pic looks good.

sony just can out with a new digital that does auto exposure compensation.... does exactly that, take 3 pics and combines it for you.... technology huh. i just photoshop it to my liking

[XJFever]

yeah, the sony I current have has a burst setting, takes 3 pics, it works nice, but without a tripod, it shifts ever so slightly which screws up the overall pic, and 3 separate pics are easy enough to combine with phomatrix, but for now I fiddle around with the single pic that I adjust the exposure settings, and save them separately only to recombine them. To heck with being efficient , hehe.

is the red one for sale?

[XJFever]

hehe, nope, thats mine.The pic makes it look alot cleaner and nicer than it is, it needs work, but nothing too bad(mainly new drivers side rocker)

[XJFever]

on another note, let me add, the pic I have posted/tweaked was actually shot when it was pretty overcast, and not much sunlight.

You won't worry about it being clean and straight after you start wheeling.

You mean cutting out the rockers and welding in 2x6 steel?  That's a great idea!!
