Thanks FBJ! Its much easier to shoot at a stationary F-22 than a moving one... hahaha... you really should see that thing fly. It is unreal.

Decided to take a break from the affected grunge look that I've been stuck on and try something crisp and clean for a change. Once I argued enough with my camera about not changing the ISO as part of it's bracketing matrix, I started to get some good stuff I think.

...then my batteries died.

Awesome shot!

I haven't had much luck with night/long exposure brackets. I probably should go ahead and pop for the IR remote for my XTi, or at the very least a cable release.

Nice! I love the night stuff.

Beautiful Picture. What was your exposure?

Thanks BP.

It was shot as a 7 exposure bracket at 200 ISO, f/5.6. (1/2 sec, 1 sec, 2 sec, 4 sec, 8 sec, 15 sec, 30 sec). I compiled the HDR from just four of the exposures (I think I used the 1/2 sec, 2 sec, 4 sec, 30 sec for this one). Because of the time, the stars had started streaking in the HDR image, so I layered the 8 sec exposure in post because the stars were the brightest and sharpest on that exposure.

I had this image printed. 20"x30" on metallic paper and heavy matte-board (kind of like you did of that other one, Sam). Mpix did it for me, and it turned out freakin' AWESOME.

Nice! I would be interested to see a full color image like that on metallic. Having never used mpix myself, why did you go with them, better prices? Did you like them?

---EDIT---
Ahhh, never mind, all questions answered in the other thread

Great thread guys! (sorry for being last kid to come down to the dinner table). FlyBoeingJets, your industrial pics were intense! PM, D300, eh? Nice! I had lost mine to eBay... well, that is, sold it on eBay after hopping up to a D3 and realizing I don't really need 2 cams just yet. What lenses are you sportin'......?

Here's a couple my HDR's to add into our magic stew:









all pics are actually from just one raw file (eek! no bracketing!)... i'll post some more soon!

hopefully this thread isn't dead; if it is this it's time to wake it the **** up!

[ValleyFan]

Wow, those are stellar! Nice job.

here's a couple... I did... still trying to get the hang of it.

Both good quality shots. I've always liked the way the beams of sunlight look in HDR when it's done well. Good job!!

Here are a couple I grabbed while at Hermosa Beach this weekend for the festival thing. I gotta try to find a subject without clouds, I'm feeling cliche.
