Nice shots mnk, I love the colour on the first two. 
Do you remember which method did you used in Photomatix for tone mapping? (Details Enhancer or Tone Compressor?)

Details Enhancer



Tone Compressor



Not sure which looks better, I think DE gives it more texture and character I think.

Thanks.  DE on the first one and TC on the other two.  I like your DE one better as well the 2nd one is too smooth I think.

Those are great shots Mnkpro! Add a touch of brightness in photoshop to the first car shot and i think it will be perfect (just a personal oppinion). The third image of the statue is really nice. You learn faster then me , thats a fact, he he.

SpecOpsBob, those are nice photos! Looking much better then your backyard.

For this specific image, since its b&w and a close up. I would go for the TC one. Ok, the DE gives you more detail and still looks good, but in my oppinion the softer touch suits the image better. On the other hand it does not have that raw HDR look. I can understand your dilemma.

Thought i would add todays images of my friend´s SAAB 9-3 Aero 2007.


This one is more softer then the above one.

Those are great Aggressor, very nice details on them.  Here is one I took on my way home today.  Same photo one with cool temperature and the other with warm.

Thanks mate!

Love the first one of your latest shots. The cool temp just gives the black paint a very nice blue reflection. Also the wall behind the car looks stunning. You can also clearly see that the sunroof is a bit open, wich is hard to see on the second image.Very nice work on both images!

Could you guys HDR some animals???

Since it needs 3 exposures, I don't think so, not unless they stayed perfectly still that is.

Maybe I'll give it a shot anyway today when one of my dogs is asleep!

Well Kami, this is relatively close to 'an animal'...

Great image SpecOpsBob!

That one could not have  been easy to photograph? Its the first animal in HDR i have ever seen, very nice job.

Thanks Aggressor!

It was actually harder than I thought it would be since I tend to take all my pictures on ISO 100 whenever I can. Since it was indoors, each shot took about a second to take! It was lucky that he stayed still and only really flinched his head on the first shutter click.

I had a look on Flickr, most people do it with 1 image.

I found this though - just insane!

wow, that is nice.  Can't believe the cat stayed still, well trained.  It's not stuffed is it?  lol

Your welcome!

That is one good image of the elephant. I know you can make HDR´s with only one shot, just as long as you have taken the image and saved it as RAW. This way you can "cheat" with the EV settings.

Im not sure if its showing on this image i did.

Just thought i will give this a little bump with an image of what i woke up to today....Sorry, its not a car or a lightly dressed playboy bunny.







Also thought i would add these two HDR-shots from Forza. Same image, just that i added a blue filter to one of them.

You can get a HDR-style effect within Forza 2 itself by adjusting exposure.

---

Two more HDR´s from Forza.
