Those are the last photos I will be posting that have been taken with my Canon G5. Yesterday I finally decided it was time and bought a Digital SLR. I've been humming and hawing about what make & model to get, trying to balance the different features each one had while at the same time finding one that wasn't going to end up costing near grand. I still consider photography a hobby, and spending a grand on equipment for that hobby just doesn't computer, at least not yet. Anyway, Canon Rebel XTi 8.0MP DSLRs were on sale at Futureshit for $669 and I ended up getting an open box for $599 (can't be that with a big stick, eh?). There was another open box XTi there, and I'm sure you could get the same price for it if anybody's still in the market for one.

[Chewy]

nice, i think ill go check out that camera you just got. Sounds pretty good and for a decent price

[wishbone]

Not that I'm being critical or anything because I love HDR shots and you've definitely got the knack of taking some good ones (I'm still experimenting, plus I can't autobracket :( ), but HDR shots may be good for a mag cover, ad, or article cover, but I don't remember when the last time a full article of HDR shots existed...especially in car mags. People want to be able to see the details and lines of the car, not a million highlights from different exposure levels?

Sorry, my inner Mangle is coming out although I'm not in "the business". Maybe you were just taking shots FOR the article cover, in which case, neat!

(edit: open box XTi.....fuck, i'm tempted. is that body only or with the starter lens?)

(edit2: just so you can see I don't have a leg to stand on actually criticizing your HDRs, mine: Beginning HDR - a photoset on Flickr )

[thebobman]

wishbone, I think that showing the lines of the car can be done while using HDR. Obviously, you do have a point, HDR can over-power the shot, but I think frames 1, 4, & 5 show the lines of the car while still having HDR.

That Rebel XTi is the body & an EF lens

Don't poo-poo your own HDR shots this one is fantastic!

First HDR Shot with the XTi:

rendered with photomatix or photoshop? constructive criticism: any way to limit the noise, especially in the sky?

[thebobman]

yup, I could have clipped the shadows to clear it out, but when it was pretty obvious that the shadows had been clipped, so I toned it way back
