Location: Highway 37 West of Vallejo California
Technique: HDR (High Dynamic Range)
Equipment: Canon 5D (Not Mark II)
Workflow: 6+ Raws – Photomatix – Finalized in Cs4

Havent done too many HDR shots lately, had to be reminded by a fellow bubbler that I have to get out more and take a break from putting up the Christmas lights.

Shot this on the way home from the Niners & Rams game in San Francisco. My good friends daughter sang our National Anthem at the opening game an was nice enough to hand over some entertainment passes which allowed me to have field access, Thanks Marcy!

  • Garth Smith

    Garth Smith

    Nice shot Ben,
    Can’t believe that there’s hardly any comments on what makes this the picture it is. Sure its HDR which actualy often detracts from images for me. And its nice colour.
    But the real feature of this shot is the angle of view, the persepective and the composition.
    That is what makes it a great shot. Well done.

  • Ben Pacificar replied

    You would make a good critic Garth, Honest and an eye for detail. I usually like to shoot vehicles low and with the angle that gives that “In Your face” look. Thanks Much for the comment!

    I like this and I am drawn to other HDR shots. I didn’t know what HDR was until you explained what it stood for. Now I am curious about how to do it. Is it a setting on the camera or a treatment in photoshop?

  • Ben Pacificar replied

    HDR is a combination of both and more. Maybe this might help, HDR TUTORIAL

    Makes me wish I had some talent. Amazing photo.

  • Ben Pacificar replied

    Lukin at Your photos Friend I would say You have more talent than me. I cant seem to shoot “As Is” shots anymore without doing some work to it with software. Spoiled by technology I guess.

    Any howz, Thanks Much for the comment! Where is Laurel anyways?

    Thanks Ben I really appreciate that. HDR is an art of it’s own and you have some very impressive pieces. Laurel would be located in Central Maryland. Directly between Baltimore and DC. Thanks again for the compliment!

    The camera angle effectively adds a great perspective of presence to the old truck! The way the sun is hitting the truck and its warmth also adds a lovely sense of mood! Tasteful hdr work! : )
