the second one looks really good. !!!!

[kuhan]

you are good bro....very nice pictures

you use both photomatix and photoshop?

I'm trying to learn photmatix right now, but have no idea about photoshop...

Can I still create those cool looking hdr pictures using photomatix without utilizing photoshop?

Thanks

If you don't have photomatix and still want to produce HDR photos, all you have to do is print screen the finished hdr using the trial program. its still the same quality and you wont get the "Photomatix" watermark on the photo if you print screen it. Thats what i do anyways

well i used photoshop only on the 1st pic, notice how the car and th street are not HDR, the other 2 are straight photomatix, if you want the full version email me and ill give you the registration code

Hey kuhan if you want we can meet up one day, i'll bring my laptop and show you everything I know about photomatix, since you only live like 10 minutes away from me.

[Thannatos]

[kuhan]

I tried this out a while ago, nothing to special. Actually I think mine is a little over-done.



Sorry for editing so much, decided to remove the watermark.

[Thannatos]

I recommend setting the light smoothing to the middle dot, and lower the strength a bit to get rid of the grainoh and by the way check your email

[boystar22]

I should have been more clear; I already have photomatix. The watermark I was referencing was my own. I always watermark all my photography, but this one came out really distracted because of it, so I removed it. But thanks again!

oh oops... just don't call the pirate police on me

I don't know who's car this is... i just stole the picture from one of the threads to play around with. Sorry if i offended you!

How does this look Thannatos?

What settings did you use? and for the curves on photoshop, how far did you go for light and dark?

[Thannatos]

it's pretty nice but i would recommend using pictures you got yourself because it looks better when you use 3 different exposures instead of just one jpeg, as you can tell by all the graining on the rear bumper

Y'know what bro...I actually prefer your car HDR shots from back in September. They're a little more subdued and I really dig that. You're really improving with your landscape and object shots though! Nicely done! Have you got a proper website going?

[Thannatos]

no just flickrand these new pics are me experimenting with different HDR effects trying to get what I like
