Tonight's shoot was the first one I've been really happy with in a while, hope you enjoy the pix as well.

Is there a tutorial that you can point to? I'd love to try this out. Well done!

P.S. Can you play with DOF when you bracket the shots? In other words, do you maintain your f-stop or could you vary it? I'm not sure what affect it would have on the outcome, just curious.

Very cool.... I like!

These aren't HDR's, they're single RAW's

.

As far as bracketing, I wouldn't suggest playing with anything between the 3 shots, as you risk movement, and movement causes softness.

Awesome shots. Looks like a videogame! Any chance of a desktop resolution version of the 2nd shot?

VisualEchos · 05-17-2009, 08:38 AM

Sorry man, I don't have a higher-res, I chop them all for the net.

What was going on with the concrete embankments in the first and 3rd shots? Offensive enough that you had to use that much foreground? I know you usually play with the car up high, but it seems they're just a little too north on the frame this time. Very clean nose shot too, I really feel that one. The lens flare set up, not so much. Not really my cup of tea..

Nice shots! What lens were you using for those?

You should know by looking at my pix that I'm weird, I actually like more foreground than background

. The 2nd shot is quite popular, so you're on the same page as everyone else there. The lens flare, it was done as a joke, but I don't think it's half bad, so I posted it...haha.

Kind of heavy p-chopping, but cool looking anyway.
