Stevo Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Went for a drive at the weekend and got some better pictures that weren't taken in the works car park! Looking forward to Japfest now the car is looking better and I feel won't be tarnishing the club's name on the stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 Addictive isnt it Car is looking great pal. Yeah - and ufortunately on black it seems to be a never ending process. Everything is by hand at the minute but will probably begin learning machine polishing when I get the time and funds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 HDR and RAW images? Lehmans terms please id love to do a shot like that First off you need a digital camera that can take RAW format images as well as jpg. However, it is possible to do using just jpg and an auto bracketing function on the camera. A search on here or google will be your best bet for explaining HDR (High Dynamic Range). In a nutshell, an HDR image is produced by combining several instances of the same shot but under different exposures. This essentially has the effect of bringing out more detail in both the shadow and highlight areas that otherwise wouldn't be picked up from a single exposure. Our eyes have a larger dynamic range (in terms of light) than a camera can record in a single image. However, to combine the differently exposed shots together, you need either photoshop or some other software (eg Photomatix). You can then use the software to play around with the 'strength' and 'smoothing' of light to achieve different effects - some look natural, others looking a bit more 'off the wall!' There a quite a few threads on here about HDR.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
