try playing with the curves more rather than hdr i find it much more effective with targeting problem areas in a photo (just my own opinion)

If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes should fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

Awesome Swindle looks good mate

What do you use to do the HDR ? photoshop ?

if so try and turn down the edge glow a bit to try and remove some of the highlight thats superimposed around the trees (unless thats the desired effect:P )

That was the desired effect.

It was during sunset, but doesn't really show it however. The brightness gives it that surreal effect that im rather taking a liking to. Here, check this shit out yo...

Quite possibly the most beautiful effect ever created. Spare the bandwidth and pump it up to 720.

7D - Jizz in my pants.

Super fast 19 point AF system produces some amazing results.

What settings did you use for each of the shots you used to compile the HDR car photos swindle?  Very vivid.

Like the botanic gardens shot there too meat.

I have been stuffing round with some HDR stuff today. I need a decent subject, but given how boring it looked before I HDR'd it, I am impressed!

I really like your first one Krasher. :)

Was down at my grandparent's place today and this piece of metal was floating in the water, even more interesting is that there was hundreds if not more people there to see it.

However I was more interested in the tugboat, always have been interested in them, and this single tugboat was all that was required to pull out the QM2.

Fuck I miss having time to go out and do photos.... been a very very long time.

Hopefully after my meeting this week I might have some breathing space for a month or 2 and can go wild.

Damn it, so I just took my dog for a walk, for some reason decided that this one time (first in a long time) I won't take my camera with me - mainly because it's impossible to get my dog to stay still so that makes it hard to concentrate on taking photos.

Of course once I got down to the Torrens river (Adelaide's main river) there was this decent sized lizard (almost half a metre in length) sun bathing on a rock right in the river, it looked so awesome, ahd it's head crocked up . I pulled out my iPhone but by the time I got that thing all loaded up the darn lizard had moved off.

Lesson learned, take your camera everywhere!

I was in Cathedral Square last night, doing a video for the pitch im doing. I may have some of the last footage of our beautiful masterpiece in 1 piece. I will post some images later. And some of my travels today from the EQ

^Holy cow man, that is something to hold onto!

From what I have seen before, that is one hell of a beautiful cathedral!
