A friends Honda Civic Type S - HDR and Non-HDR

IPClark

We went for a bit of a drive to get some shots of his new car. After driving around and finding only muddy carparks full of lots of other vehicles, I rememberd a little clearing I know of.

Conditions weren't brilliant but I got a couple of ok shots. Decided to HDR one of them. The non-hdr was taken just as the sun (which was behind) was going down behind the hills.

HDR (I know some are going to hate this one.. heheh )

Canon 50mm 1/160@ F1.8, ISO 100




...and the NON-HDR. Slightly different composition.

Nifty Fifty, 1/500 @ F1.8, ISO 100

I would prefer the first one with another sort of processing. Hard to say how i would have done it but i dont really like the HDR you come up with. Composition is good i think.

That's fine Arvan, I must admit, I posted it over at talkphotography.co.uk and it's had mixed response there some for and some against

I think the thing about HDR is that it has such a broad spectrum of results that it can swing in very opposite directions with regards to how people like it or dislike it

Thanks re. the composition of course

I think the HDR is not bad at all if you look just at the car. I don't care for the backdrop in either. I think it might looked better in an urban more neutral setting. just my 2 cents

Yeah I think a nice industrial background could be good. I know of a couple of places where urban/industrial could be employed.

Hi there.... I like the way the car turned out in HDR in the first shot,
but I am not keen on the background.

Both shots look good, just the HDR doesnt look so good in the background of the first shot ..... The Car looks Sci-Fi .... Skippy

Hehe, yeah the background has been mentioned elsewhere too

Unfortunately, at the time, it was the only one we had however I'm gonna sort out an urban decay kinda shoot with him as well.

Thanks for the comments of course
