My GT 500 at Sunset

I took a series of photos at the Wild Horse Pass Resort on Sunday night. Here is the larger version of the one I will be using for my avtar.

Niiiiice!!!!

Yes (HDR), I shot 3 exposures (1 stop over/under), than used Photomatix to merge the layers. Just playing around, sorta new to this.

I have seen several of your garage photo shoots, those are very impressive. I would like to come watch the next time you setup a photo event.

Absolutely, I had the Eibach pre springs on my 06 Vert, but I thought it lowered it too much on the front. So I am still trying to figure out which springs or spring/strut combo to go with.

Fantastic!! We will be there for the fall show, you will have to let us know where your 500 sat so we can do the shoot. Sweet shot!!!

I have the FRPP springs, with GT500 wheels, and the same tire/aspect ratios as the GT500--we can meet up sometime if you want to see what it looks like in person.

I'm also in Chandler.

Great looking car love the retro look its about time they made a mustang look like a mustang,

That would be great, I am planning to go to the Pavillions next Saturday night.

I might be able to swing that as well. If not, we could always just meet at the mall or something.

I figured it was, very nice. I have yet to try any HDR shots but they are soon to come as soon as I get a little bit of time to mess with it. Great shot! I heard Photomatix is one of the better programs for it, how easy is it to use? I just put CS3 on my desktop a couple weeks ago but have yet to even open it and mess with anything with how busy I've been. CS3 is supposed to have an HDR option so I may be playing around with it soon.

[FalconGTHO]

Man, thats freakin kick azz. Do you have the full size available for us wallpaper collectors?

[wickedcobra]

Why dontyou just do all four corners with a coil over set up, that way you can set the ride height at whatever you want?

[Ruckus46gt]

another way to do hdr is use shutter settings instead of exposure. Friend back home told me to do it that way instead but have yet to try it

I read a very detailed article on Photomatix vs. CS3 for HDR work, I will see if I can dig that up for you. Bottom line is I use photomatix for the merging of the selected exposures, than CS3 to further edit and sharpen. One thing to note is the pic is pretty noisy, I haven't converted my noise ninja license from PC to Mac yet.

I think what you are trying to say is shutter adjustment vs. f/stop. And yes your friend is correct, if you adjust the f/stop the depth of field changes on each exposure which would hurt the overall detail of the final pic.

The key is to use a good tripod and adjust the shutter speed for the desired image exposure.

Ah thanks, I would be interested in reading that one for sure!

Yeah that's what I was thinking when I was reading about it... I think when I try my first ones I'll stick with using the shutter speed instead of the f/stop because of the depth of field change. Exposure changes shouldn't be a problem since you gotta use a tripod to get the shots anyway. Besides, that's what makes me love the wireless remote I've got for m camera.
