With the 15 x 8.5 and 5" bs what spacers are you using?

Thanks,
Mike

Mike, correction, sorry...this is an older set. The rear is a 15x8 (not 8.5) with 4 1/2 rear spacing. I'm not running spacers and using a 255/60 tire so I don't have any clearance issues (inside or outside of wheel well). Not a great photo, but a better view of the rear wheel/tire.

Just took these the other day on "A" mountain with Mount Lemmon here in Tucson as a back drop

That's sharp. Got a shot like that with the whole car?

 

[Infamous'86GN]

Unfortunately not, I didn't get one from that angle. I did not anticipate it looking so good after post production or I would have.
HDR can be tricky, never know 100% if its going to turn out how you want it or not.

This one is not as nice, but whole car.

I've probably asked this before, but what camera are you using that does HDR?

 

[Infamous'86GN]

Not a problem Those were shot with my Canon EOS Rebel XS and I used RAW formate and true HDR processing.
Nothing to fansy but takes nice photos and works for what I do right now.

Im not sure If you know a lot about HDR, if you do than you know all this. But as long as you have a camera that shoots in RAW
and takes multiple exposers you can create HDR photos. Then its all about post production.

 

[TurboDave]

Don't know much about HDR, but I'm still trying to learn my new camera (Nikon D5100). Yes, it does have the ability to shoot raw, but wow, what huge file size!! (22MB). My only release modes for the shutter are single or continuous (and some timed and delay modes).

 

[Infamous'86GN]

Nice! and yes RAW files are huge. I am almost positive that your camera can do Exposure bracketing, that is where you set it up to take the 3 exposers. I recommend a tri-pod.
Then you will get something like this:

Then you just have to figure out what program you want to process with, I just use the HDR merger in photoshop and work for there. The possibilities are pretty endless with all the data you have from shooting in RAW format.

 

[TurboDave]

I hope it does have exposure braketing! I'll have to dig deeper into the manual and do some menu searching! Although I don't think Photoshop is in the picture, it's a real budget buster!!

Found it!!! Autobraketing can be set anywhere from 0.3 to 2.0 !!

BTW, playing around with my Android Razr phone I see it has a built in HDR mode!! more playing!!

 

[TurboDave]

Don't want to clutter up the thread with anymore non Buick related stuff, but just wanted to add my first attempt at an HDR photo. Not a digital camera photo, but rather one taken in HDR on my Droid Razr maxx HD!!

Two photos of the same thing. First one is a standard shot. Second one is in HDR mode. Notice how nicely the dark areas are filled in and the Bright background is toned down a bit. The room was pretty dark hence the pixilating. Not nearly the dynamic range of a good camara but I was really surprised to see this capability (although somewhat limited) in a phone camera.

Just got back yesterday from a 800 mile road trip with the GN. Took a few shots along the way.

This one turned out OK.

I like this one better.

Happy spooling...

Turbo Dave, PM me if you want to talk more about HDR

Very nice looking cars guys, I really wish i could run without a front plate.

SPOOLFOOL, what size tires on the rear? Nevermind, just saw them in your sig.
