Corsa Power!

Is that a dent on the bonnet I see?

 

[cyKey]

quite stunning wish i was capable of such an attempt only thing i can think of is that the car its self looks a touch over processed but probably just an artifact of hdr type pictures.

really cool shot tho think i might have to try this hdr mlarky!

I was thinking the same but I think its that detail that its actually the reflection of the clouds in the car.

Is that a dent on the bonnet I see?

No, nope, really isn't, not at all My car is dent free.

The 1st HDR shot holds more colour in the sky, nice shots

There's a reason people hate Corsas you know. They're awful to drive and aren't the most aesthetically pleasing car in the world.

I do like the effect though, with a little tweaking and a different subject it could prove very interesting.

Don't happen to have a DB9 by any chance? I'll take a Db7 if I must

Oh and welcome to OcUK

No, I have a similar breed of car but one infinitely better: a Corolla. Albeit a dodgier colour than yours. Turquoise is most definitely not for the win. Never mind eh, I barely see the colour on the inside of my car while I overtake your broken down unreliable pseudoEnglish car.

And that's why the pictures seem a little weird to me.


This isn't a criticism of your picture. Just HDR in general. When looking at the pictures they just seem a little odd. I guess its just that were not used to seeing so much dynamic range in one shot but they just don't look right to me. Sure, it does give the picture a lot of impact but it just doesn't look right.

I totally understand. I used to think the same when I first saw them. It just isn't right

I totally disagree with this. I love the HDR photography, I think it has a real wow factor. I understand it's not to everyone's tastes though.

awesome shots again cykey, You constantly seem to be upping your game mate.

The tire thing aside I think these are great. You've made a pony car look the nuts, nice job Love the proessing. Love well done HDR shots. I'm still trying to get to grips with the process myself, all my attempts look awful.

 

[Alex53]

Well I think the way the processing has brought out the reflections on the car is amazing. That 'over-processed' look might be a problem with some subjects such as nature landscapes, but certainly not with the artificial things of this world like cars. Thats my opinion anyway.

Cykey you have to share the knowledge of how you processed the first shot now...its so car-catalog-like it almost makes the Corsa look decent. Almost.

That was the plan

I will be writing a guide based on these shots to show people how to do it.

The pics look great

Out of interest, which beach is it? I'm thinking West Kirby but I'm not sure.

Next to the marina at the far end of the promenade can be a nice place to take car pics, aslong as the gate is open.

Yer its West Kirby Marina, the top end where the wind surfers go.

Had a quick go at getting a better shot. I hate myself for missing last nights sunset. It was just so stunning but I needed to finsih some work. Oh well.

Hopefully its sunny on Saturday and I'll return with some HDR shots of my mates S2000
