it dont look HDR to me..

 

Next time don't try and do an HDR with trashcans in the background??

 

Me eithher

 

Does HDR stand for Highly disgusting rims?

 

yea not HDR if you ask me and... CS4...Dang.... I have CS3 is CS4 like most recent?

 

lmfao

 

I use photomatix for HDR

I say go for attempt #2....and chose a better backdrop for the car

and sikrsix

 

honestly not that great. Use better lighting and backgrop and it'll look 10x's better.

 

Honestly its not that good but hey its only your first try. Pm me and I'll be more than happy to give you some tips

 

to acheive what your trying do, you need to use a backdrop with a more "high dynamic range" of colors. since your car is dark in color, go and try to set up behind something really bright, at sunset or sunrise or anythign that will provide high contrast. +1 for photomatix

 

lol, thats the worst HDR ever :P My darks got washed out, but this was a decent job on my neon:



Notice the detail around the front facia and the wheels. That is the stuff you pick up with HDR that you lose with normal photography.
