Old Pickup HDR

Out shooting the other day , when it was mild here. After walking the beach I stopped at a local fish market to pick up something for dinner. They have added this old Chevy pick-up in front , for a decoration of sorts. This is a 5 image HDR shot at 1 stop increments and processed in Photomatics with the grunge preset , then adjusted from there. Cropped slightly off the left to eliminate some distracting elements.

PS. Denise , when you guys come here this summer we need to go here for lunch. Great seafood.:bg3:

Joe,

Nicely done HDR image. I like the composition with the angle of the truck and I'm assuming, the effect caused by using a wide angle lens close to the subject. If the image were mine, I might tone down the highlight on the front bumper or try to recover a bit of detail there.

Joe, I love the flat tire and the wide angle lens makes this look awesome. Nice composition and the processing looks great. Richard makes a good suggestion regarding the front bumper. Joe, I really like your vision for these HDR's-they are fun and dramatic. YES to Seafood lunch!! I can't wait for the summer:S3::S3:

Hi Joe,
Old trucks are a favorite of mine. Great perspective, comp, color and HDR detail. If it were mine I would try to eliminate some of the ghosting (mostly horizontal) in the tree, clouds and top fender/headlight. The flat tires make an innovative anti-theft devise. :w3

What a great angle on this! Wonderful HDR. I don't mind the bright highlights so much, I think they add to the overall effect. Love the flat tire :S3:

I love the angle and distortion and the highlight doesn't bother me. Nice processing too :bg3:

Nice HDR work Joe. You have a very good handle on using this technique without overdoing it. The old truck looks like it is in need of a long rest, so I think it has found a good home. :c3: Is it possible that the clouds moved while you were making these exposures? It seems to me that there is some repeating of the cloud patterns just above the hood.

It was a bit windy , so cloud movement is possible. That would account for the repeating patterns as there was no cloning done to this image. Need to shoot a little faster next time.:eek:

Nothing to say that hasn't been said. Just adding my congrats. Thanks to Kerry for noting the cloud pattern problem. I must make a mental note also to be quick in exposures for HDR to avoid such.
