I'm addicted to this!!!

Wow, tone mapping gone wild! ;) This is not a bad thing, and if you are having fun, well that's even better. You have a wicked sky in the first shot. The second to last shot blurs the line between photography and digital art. When I see images like this, it makes me want to mess around more with photomatix!

[theinlawjosie]

These are incredibly awesome images! I agree with the last poster, the second to last definitely blurs that line and I love it! I can see how this would be addictive. I recently got a 40D and I have been wanting to experiment with HDR...I can't wait to try it out. :clap

[JenGrace]

Looks like you're having a lot of fun! These are great...love the second to last and the last. :clap

How many images did you have to shoot for the first shot? Also what program did you use? Lastly RAW or jpg? I tried shooting a few images (hand held) in jpg and I couldn't get the effect like you did. Amazing images.... the second to last one is wicked, but i love the first one and like them all. MORE PLEASE!!! :D

Oddly enough, this time, I only used 3 bracketed shots per photo. The result was a much cleaner and clearer HDR. Shooting at ISO50 in concert with Noiseware(which has seen over 2000 shots from my 5D and has a pretty tight profile now) I was able to keep the noise down. The key to the insanity of the shots was the processing I did AFTER creating the tone-mapped HDR. While I still had the tif in 16 bit, I converted it to 32bit, worked with the colors a bit, then tone-mapped in CS3 again. So it's not just a "hey, look, I just bought photomatix and now I'm an artist" sort of picture. hahah

Thank you all for your kind comments! I'll crank out some more possibly today. I want to try my hand at some night time HDR's

HDR is not my thing, but it's definitely a different look. I can see people liking it :thumb Personally, I think that the subjects in these shots are not very interesting though. I think if you got some more interesting subjects, they would be appreciated by a lot more people. The phone or electricity wires and the green flare (2nd shot) bother me. Any way you can clone those out? I think it would improve the shots as well. I do very much like the reflection in the silver Honda.

haha! Thanks Ivar, I'll try to come up with something a mite more interesting just for you. :)

[DI-Joe]

Added some, yay! Slightly more interesting, Ivar? It's a Bugatti Veyron. :P

MOVED.
