Wow, sick car! Do you know if the pics were done with HDR or are they just heavily worked in PS?

synth19 · 12-04-2007, 08:15 PM

no hdr, thnx

YeloFva · 12-04-2007, 08:23 PM

The car looks great (tastefully modded), but the pix look a little bit too good. They all look like drawings.

cusco · 12-04-2007, 08:44 PM

err thing looks good but not really feeling the rims tho!

toogood · 12-04-2007, 09:02 PM

WRXTek · 12-04-2007, 09:22 PM

KruxSTi · 12-04-2007, 09:25 PM

If that's really the paint then I love it. If not then I'm a sad panda.

i have a hard time believing this was not done with HDR or multiple-exposed layers merged...at least for most of them.

the shots are definitely professionally done and look great. the car needs better looking rims IMO. those are horribly ugly and body paint matched rims????

props to the photographer though.

***520*** · 12-04-2007, 10:21 PM

I love it!

specs?

No problem. Not everyone are a fan of iforged wheels. I personally wanted LE37's, but settled on the iforged which have a similar spoke design. The color is not paint matched. It is their "hypergunmetal" finish. As far as you HDR question goes, There was absolutely no image layering or multiple exposures. All of the images are single-shot non-HDR's. However, some of the post-processing techniques that Rubin (photographer) used, can lend to an HDR-esque result. Thanks for the comments, synth

I'd be very interested to hear about his PP techniques because the shadows are all pretty well exposed, the highlights are very subtle and there is good contrast in most parts of the shot. Unless he adjusted all different sections of the photo, I still can't fathom how most of this isn't done with the above techniques I posted.

synth19 · 12-05-2007, 08:31 PM

^ I'm not sure if the photographer is registered on this site, so let me summarize his comments, His first stage processing in Adobe Lightroom, 2nd stage touch-up in Corel Paint Shop Pro XI. There is absolutely no HDR merging from multiple exposures or single-shot HDR technique from RAW. All shots are from single-exposure RAW. You are correct, shadows have been lifted and adjusted, highlights, midtones, and dark areas have been adjusted, noise reduction has been applied. Colors have been balanced and adjusted for contrast, saturation, vibrance, and exposure/lightness. Certain shots have intentionally been given a "soft" look with mixtures of filters, softening, reflection-erasing, and other techniques. Certain shots have intentionally been given a more "artsy" look.
