Agreed!

I'm not patient enough to do real HDR, so I use Topaz Adjust...

Here's how the camaros are captured with the limited dynamic exposure range of current CCD technology:





They don't look like this to my eyes either.

Both Camaros look like they have airbrushing. Fender edges are black and crisp.

Too old, 25 years was the limit.

They wouldn't let me test drive this:

Did you use a tripod? Actually I'd love to see these before the Topaz was applied. I've never really been a big fan of it, of late it seems to be getting used too much. Motor Trend was doing something similar for a while and a lot of readers didn't care for it. The photos just looked too processed.

Hey, how many more terms can we come up with to confuse ChevyMgr? Maybe you could tell us what focal length and aperture you used?

And that kind of thing is one negative I have about HDR. Everything shows up. I'm in all of them somewhere.

Those are still great shots! Both artistically and the subject matter. +1 (quick reply FTL)

HDR (High Dynamic Range) Imaging is the schizit and Jeff looks like the master. It all starts out with being able to take a good photo. He is like a photo artist.
