Haha, the HDR stuff is pretty complicated to do and takes a long time. Also it's not something exact everytime so you probably won't like it. I like how the dumpster picture turned out tho.

Thanks Phil. I learned mostly from the tips Ling and Newton gave me on myMBonline. The e46fanatics photography section also has some pretty good stuff in it and http://photoshoptutorials.ws/photoshop-tutorials/ as well.

Thanks Gary. Download photomatix for free and you can start playing with the HDR pics.

Thanks for the comments guys.

This thread might explain a little what HDR is...

http://mymbonline.com/forum/viewtopi...712&highlight=

Pretty much you have to have 3 or more pics of different exposure from the SAME EXACT spot. So you have to use a tripod and just adjust the exposure. Then you use photomatix (you can get it for free, but the free version has a watermark). Go to generate and then combine the differently exposed pictures. Then play around in tone mapping to get it HDR. If you didnt' take 3 or more shots of the same thing, then you can cheat the system by taking the original picture and making a darker/brighter one. It's not "True" HDR but that's what I did with Blakes pics. I only applied it to the background and not the car so it seems more realistic. Yeah its a long, complicated process.

Hey Blake,
A Prius, eh? If you want access to the information flying around the CAN bus (i.e. engine , vehicle , battery information) I can point you in the right direction.

I just sent the picture to Ed and he did the rest. I'm only guilty for the photoshop. I see he changed it back now.

I guess mine got changed too.
