i just added more to the first page,
id happily do that california style, i only have got into photography last august, from then i just had a lot of time so started trying out things, to get this kind of look takes a lot of learning, i have 5 books on photoshop, only because i love playing on that thing, playing with pics and seeing what i can do.
I produce these images first using photomatix then using photoshop cs2.
Ill do a little tutorial for anyone whos interested on my days off this week though

So you didnt take the pictures using HDR technique, just processed them in editors?

To get a natural HDR effect you're supposed to take atleast 3 photos, all exactly the same except for aperture speed (f/x). First picture you take is the medium range one using the normal aperture speed you would for that particular lighting. Then you take an overexposed (longer f/x) and underexposed (shorter f/x) picture. Then in photoshop or photomatrix you combine the pictures.

All you need is a tripod and i'm sure your camera can adjust exposure levels. Let me know if it does. . . .

Photomatrix creates killer HDR photos. Photoshop CS2 HDR conversion lacks in that aspect.

I can't stand these cars. The only reason i can see for buying a car like this is for the badge. if i was looking for an SUV, i'd go for the Toyota Land Cruiser or Range Rover.

Nice photo though.
