Nah its my dad's... got the 5.7L hemi, could probably blow the doors off my 8 haha. Sad thing is he was about to sign the papers for a SRT-8 Cherokee when he saw a Commander... he likes those better for some reason.

Yeah I am... I just took all of them except for my dad's Jeep in my garage so the exposure time was probably literally 10-15 seconds for some of the pictures so it's kinda hard to avoid. I'll get some better ones tomorrow when I actually have daylight to work with.

i like em, my first attempt at HDR wasn't great either. My pictures always came out kinda shaky too but I think its me moving the camera ever so slightly, when I move into change my Fstops/apetures/shutter. Maybe a cable release might help?

Thanks for the comments. I'm using photomatix pro 3.0 as well... what exposure compensation settings are you using? I used -2.0, 0, and 2.0 for all those pictures and they turned out fairly well.

And dshiznit I don't know if it was you who sent me the instructions for cold weather of applications of the 8club decals but right after I got that email I found out that I had lost mine

So I'll be putting in another order soon... hopefully not out of VR's by then.
