[Jochen]

I'm glad to see your car back :)

[The Architect]

Thanks lol.
Took a whopping 20 Minutes to get everything back online and up to date.

[custom Lftback]

I've got to say Architect, that your Yaris is so amazing. I give props to you for one of the best looking Yaris' I've seen yet. :thumbsup: I saw the florida plates, where in Florida are you? I live in Jacksonville. Hey, would you mind looking at this sub and telling me what you think? It looks real good, but I'm not sure about the quality.

I'm only thinking of getting one, but what kind of amp should I get to power it?
Thanks!

[TheRealEnth]

Thats looks so beautiful. I really like how the pics of the Yaris being wet came out, gives it a good natural feel. Around what time did you take the pics at the storage depot?

[The Architect]

Custom Liftback: Pioneers are fairly nice subs and at the price you found its pretty much the best bang for the buck. I found a few videos of that specific sub on RealmOfExcursion.com that may help give you an idea of what you'll have on your hands (dont mind the horrible buzzy sounds, they have crappy cameras)

As for an amp...depends on your budget. Theres tons of 1000RMS amps out there, Id recommend Kicker, they have solid dependable and pretty affordable amps. The ZX1000.1 would do great.

If possible stay away from low end brands (pyle,lanzar,sony,lightning audio etc.)




The storage Pics were fairly early at around 2:30PM, a lot earlier than I usually do for HDR Pics (5-7PM)

I like how they came out though, nice and shiny.

You have to stop!
It already looked good, now it's even better :drool:

[The Architect]

the only time that air compressor ever looked good was when it was new back in the 1890's

[Klink10]

Nice pics....Fla to Ct. Thats a severe change.

[The Architect]

oh yea, 850 miles, sleep, 550 miles, pass out.

[Moura]

Great HDR´s :w00t: very nice! :clap:

What camera do you use? You also use Photomatix?

Im starting to practice with HDR, but my pictures come out with a lot of noise. Maybe because my camera only makes Jpeg and not Raw? :iono:

Would it be possible for you to share some of the settings you used in one of your pictures?

Cheers

[The Architect]

I have a fujifilm z10fd 7.2mp point n shoot (not exactly hardcore photographer)

I use photomatix and they usually come out fairly nice with minor tweakng here and there, the only time they come out bad is when its too bright out.

Ive found the best time to take them is roughly an hour before sunset or when its overcast etc.

so long as your using proper increments (-2 -1 0 +1 +2) or whatever it is for your camera then they should come out just fine.

If youd like I can save the settings i use for most of my pictures from photomatix and send you them, its a native photomatix file so you have the option to load pre-saved settings.

[Moura]

:cry: you can do that with a point n shoot?! They are lovely man...

I should be fine with my Panasonic Lumix Tz5 then...

For now I am only using one picture (Jpeg) and then I use photoshop to change the exposure levels (from -3 to +3). So im kinda cheating.

It you could send me the file with your settings it would be really nice. Just for me to see if I am doing something wrong with photomatix.

I´ll send you a PM with my MSN Adress.

Cheers

nice, now that prove you don't need dslr to take a great pic, it's all about the guy behind the camera, anyway are you using Photomatix Pro or the basic one? because i couldn't get it works good on the basic one. All my HDRs came out super bright and hardcore, not wet and smooth look like your.

[The Architect]

i used pro 3, idk if the tone mapping abilities are drastically different or not in basic but if you can take a screen shot of your general setting then I can maybe assist.

[The Architect]

version 2 being....the basic version?

[The Architect]

jamal is using the basic version which is what i meant when i wasnt sure if the settings between Basic and Pro 3 are drastically different and im sure that they are....

[The Architect]

same here.

[jamal1984]

hi guys, yes i got the basic version for free, it's from hdrsoft.com and i think that is why my pics came out weird.
