HDR Style B&W - Requesting C&C

[ocular]

Cool but for me the truck seems to "in your face" for me. It looks like you've cropped it like a box makes it look odd.

1.. Cant believe someone thought "sick" was anything other then a compliment


2. The truck jumps out at you and is very intense upon first look.


I LOVE the way HDR Converts to B&W.

That's pretty sick.

That wasn't so helpful.

I like it, as mentioned, the side view mirror should have been flipped out :/, cool picture though

Well I have to say there are some interesting comments here - well other than the debate on is sick means good or bad - but I know its sick its why I posted it..

That said here is the workflow and in answer to one of the comments this image was really tweaked...so its interesting that you feel that it needs even more...

On the reflection issue for me at least I love them... and want to do more with more strange ones.. technically this is a self portrait because in the big version you can see me in the bumper...

Workflow:

5 Exposures on Canon G10 jpg becase I was being lazy
Combined in Photomatix Pro
Procesed for HDR in Photomatix
Then re-processed for a second time in Photomatix
Results were exported to PS and converted to B&W to a point I liked the look..

I like the shine and life HDR brings to the plate... its a great tool if not abused...

I need to fdo more and see where it takes me...
