He has yet to take a shot that couldn't be done with a low end point & shoot from wal-mart.

That's photomatix, it's real HDR.

well that's true too, but he still is doing a better job than most do when they pic up a DSLR for the first time.

yes, utilizing overexposed, properly exposed, and underexposed shots to exceed the dynamice range the sensor is able to record at one time. Thye can look realistic or dreamlike, the ones in this thread are not artificial HDRs made by levels and curves. It's a proper multi-exposure HDR.

very nice shots

Paint is not mismatched (you can see in the beginning of the thread) , I am unsure why it always appears that way in HDR photographs...

Hrmm interesting, well for the guys that are pretty good with DSLR cameras and stuff throw the man some tips on which things he should/could adjust in certain conditions etc.

...

Ok Speedminded had pretty much hit the nail on the head with what I was saying so just re-read his posts again.

As for the mismatched paint, it is what the camera sees with the light conditions it is given on a white car. If there is the slightest variances in paint, uneven lighting, or a pearl in the clear or something like that then doing an HDR is going to show it. Normally this is not as noticable in other color cars. At least that is what I think, the car phoogs on here would have a better answer.
