the first pic is made from about 6 images with different exposures and the SE-R pic is from about 3 images but with some better lighting and more aggressive tone mapping

Background is pretty damn interesting. Car looks like its got a lot of potential.

Threadjack:Download photomatix. When shooting the photo, shoot one properly exposed, one or more shots under exposed by 1 f stop or more depending on how radical you want the image to look, and one or more shots over exposed by 1 f stop or more accordingly. Bring the photos into the program and play with them in there.

the full version, the trial version puts a watermark on all the pictures

Yeah HDR fun stuff to work with, and you can do it with one picture if you have too, but you have to make exposure adjustments in photoshop or another program beforehand and the outcome is not as good, as using three RAW images at different exposures..I have played around with it some...maybe I will get off my butt and post a few I have dont of my old s14 and my new project s13...

Photomatix tends to make things more like 3D renderings than Photoshop does.

I use photoshop CS4 for my business but I like photomatrix for HDR it gives you more control over everything and is very user friendly... below are my old s14 and current project s13 enjoy...

All of these pictures are waayyyyy over-edited. HDR is only good in small quantities.
