Reflections attract bugs, and I think I know who the winner is for shiny car:

what kind of cam are you using to take these pics?

[spike]

Thanks for the comments!

I am using a Canon Digital Rebel XT with the kit 18-55mm lens. Just a beginner setup. I'd like to buy a better lens but I'm stuck between spending money on my car and on camera equipment haha.

[Kreggae]

Great pics! I like the cool P-shop effects!

How far apart are you doing the exposures? I have an XTi and use the auto-bracketing feature set at the widest setting, but your pics come out way nicer. Maybe I need to expose my pics farther apart. How many pics do you take for each shot?

[spike]

I am doing the widest as well (+/-2). Its just 3 exposures, I'm too lazy to do 5 haha.

What program are you using to do the merges?

[spike]

I posted some higher resolution versions of these pics on my deviantart. Feel free to check them out.

What program are you using to do the merges?Photomatix Pro 3.0. You?

[spike]

Yep, photomatix 3.0 and photoshop for color correction and dodge/burning.

[Keith DC5]

Wow that's a great photoshoot although I'd prefer a lot less altering of the images.

[spike]

Thanks! Yeah I'm getting a little tired of all the HDR's haha. The next shoot will probably just be regular exposures.....if the weather permits.
