Post by: damoegan on October 18, 2010, 09:05:23 pm: A little OTT on the HDR IMO. A HDR should look naturale but with more detail than a standard pic..

Here's a one of my old Ibiza Cupra..

Post by: monte on October 18, 2010, 10:41:51 pm: Looks great for a 1st attempt mate. :notworthy: Stick at it. :happy2:

I had a go with the Photomatix program and Photoshop4. Its good fun, but its all down to the camera you use. Mine wasn't really up to the job.

Here are a few from a pro. Arin@APR :wink: (I would love to be able to produce pics like these)
