Rear Night Shot

hi zack,

again, i love how the lighting is reflected into the matte black body.

it's really hard to portray the car and the picture in a single frame, especially at a dark environment, so i kept on trying to figure out how many speed lights were used, and the setting that made it possible. it's stealth looks really stands out!

best,

mikey

Mikey,
For these pictures I used no lighting and no on or off camera flash. I set my camera on a tripod and set it to take a bracketed HDR shot. Once I pressed the button, it took 1 shot at normal exposure, 1 shot at +2 exposure, and 1 shot at -2 exposure. Of course since it was very dark outside, the exposure times were very long, so a tripod is absolutely necessary.

I then took all 3 images into a program called Photomatix, and combined them to create an HDR image that has a much broader range of dark and bright colors.

The only lighting is from the parking lot lights :) This is the first time I have tried this kind of HDR photography, I think it has a very unique look!

I have a Canon 50D camera, and I used a 19-55mm lens for this picture.

Thanks!
Zack
