Thanks guys.
If I get a chance I will take some new pics in the day because HDR does some crazy pics in the day. I do have a few sets still to put together from last night though.

Car looks hot as always. Ever since I found out that u were thinking about going na-t, I felt that we were doing parallel builds. We both got our cars about the same time from what I remember and both got a repaint around the same time. Props man, I shoulda left mine that blue.

is that a setting on the camera, or do you use a comp program to combine three diff shots at different lens speeds?

With the '89+ tails, your car is defiantly FTW. Gorgeous shots, Boris. :) Also, I love your rims more and more every time I see them. (and always liked them)

You HAVE to use a 3rd party program to do it. You need at least 3 different images taken at different exposures.

1) You CAN do this from a single RAW photo. They're 48bit, and capture much more information than your generic 8bit JPEG. However, its still not a "true" HDR image.
2) Take 3 different JPG photos at different exposures. Best is to set the camera on a tripod, and adjust exposure from -2, 0, 2. On some dSLRs, there will be a "bracketing" option and it'll automatically take a set # of photos over a set exposure range. AF1J, i don't think the D40 has this.. you can check though. Otherwise, just make sure the composure is as close to identical as you can get it, and manually adjust exposure.

For the truest HDR image, take the photo with 3 RAWs at different exposures, then go through and adjust each raw individually, merge them in Photomatix, and then perform final adjustments on the output image.


You CAN make HDR shots in Photoshop (CS2 and newer), but photomatix gives you "truer" HDR shots.

Not to hijack, but here are some of my HDR pics:

http://tim.thedugans.net/gallery/d/8966-1/DSC_0206_HDR.jpg

Those were each from a single RAW file that I split into individual .tiff files at different exposures, then combined in photomatix. Photomatix does have the option to make HDR just by loading a single RAW file.. but it doesn't seem to have much of the "HDR effect"

If anybody wants i can put together a tutorial on how to create HDRs from both point and shoots and SLRs.

That would be great if you can make a tutorial for us Photography noobs.
