Got this 2008 GT 3 weeks ago, haven't modded it except for a pair of Xetronic 8000K. Shots were taken with a Sony T20 digital compact. Enjoy!

Good eye! These were "HDR" shots indeed.

I can't afford a real SLR yet, so authentic HDR shots is still not possible at this stage.

But with a fine digital compact and some Photoshop skills, me don't think these pics look all that bad

Nice pics! I was going to ask the same question because they definitely look CG or HD. Was there a filter on the cam or did you ad that effect afterwards? Edit: Der..nevermind. I missed your post the first time.

We have a great car to begin with.

And Photoshop is scarily powerful when properly used.

Do you think you can give me a quick crash course on how to turn pics out like that?

I take a fairly amount of decent pictures but I want to give a few of them that kind of effect, and im kinda new to photoshop. All I can really do so far is make a lightsaber pop out of anything that protrudes.

Which is a great effect to use anyday (I am a hardcore SW fan too).

Assuming you already have Photoshop:

#1 Download this LOMO action:http://www.frostdiamond.com/do...tions/

#2 Load the above action in Photoshop's action Pallette.

#3 Download this HDR filter:http://www.frostdiamond.com/do...20HDR/

#4 Install the above Filter, and IF you so chose not to buy it, you may use the Keygen to register it at your own risk blah blah blah........you know the legal stuff.

Now, open up any one of your decent photos. First use the HDR Filter, play with the settings, and generate yourself a "HDR" image.

Then run the resulting image with the LOMO action to achieve a LOMO effect.

DONE!!!

Only thing I ask in exchange is you post a thread to show your work. I'd love to see them.
