My little brother and my best friend asked me to take a couple shots, these are just 4 out of 30 and happen to be HDR, let me know what you think!

Nicely done. :thumbup:

HDR has to be really good for me to say that too! You've made it look very natural.

Thank you guys! Appreciate it.

To me, this is what HDR is really for. I really don't care for the artsy-fartsy, over-the-top blown-out HDR some folks think is the next best thing to sliced bread.

Well done. A lot of HDR images tend look rather posterish or garish. Did you bracket exposures up and down or just take the image in PS and lighten and darken it by 1 stop and save as a separate image?

I always set my camera to bracket shots even if im not planning on making HDR out of it, that way i have 3 different exposures to work with in post, just to be safe. All the car shots were taken as a bracketed 3 exposure -/+2EV sets. Thanks for the comment, I hate the cartoonish overdone HDR that anyone can do by applying a preset or something and unfortunately thats how i started up doing it until i finally found a true beauty of it all.

These look good. Can you post them in non hdr, just for comparison?

Nice location... I bet you could get a lot of mileage out of that place...

Nice job in the subtle HDR as well.... I have a particular disdain for over processed images.... well done.
