Jack   2008-08-11 10:23:14 These are very nice - however, they do all look very Photoshopped rather than actual HDR photos. To take a true HDR photo don't you need to take 3 or so images with different ISO settings etc? Not sure if that would be possible with the rally cars. The blue bike looks far too photoshopped (sit back and you can see the 'outline' where the work stops) - I would of thought that would of been the easiest one to take a real HDR photo of. I expect many of these are stocks that have then been worked on. Either way, they are all very impressive work regardless. Thanks for another great image roundup! Reply | Quote

Marco - Great comment!   2008-08-11 12:19:09 Hi Jack, Thanks for your great comment: You're absolutely right (I think you explain what Robbie is thinking). HDR (especially when they're shopped) is more a form of art than actual photography. On the other side, it still is great to see. It's true that a real HDR should be taken with 3 images with different light-adjustments (check out the tutorials). But indeed: There are techniques to do it with one image. I personally think Photoshopping the HDR is OK, but you don't need to overdue the effect. They look great without! Reply | Quote

Roland Hasseleid - My photo   2008-08-20 23:55:57 Hmm... the image of the Volvo powershovel with the mountain in the back and the blue sky is actually my photo.... Nobody has asked my permission to use it. Reply | Quote

Marco - Source   2008-08-21 14:03:30 Hi Roland, You mean the picture that isn't linked to another website? Good that you mention it: I found the image randomly online (not on Flickr / DeviantArt nor another site), which is the reason I couldn't link it to the source. Could you provide me with the URL where you originally uploaded it so I could add the proper link to the source? Thanks! Greetings, Reply | Quote
