SleekGTZ: Playing with HDR on my car (lots of pics)

Well early this morning I decided to take some pictures using what I learned from the HDR picture thread. I'm still trying to learn it and doing a lot of trial and error.

Most of the pics I tried to make look like cartoonish. I don't know why, I guess it looks cool. LOL!

All pics were taken using 5 levels of exposures (instead of 3), and then loaded into Photomatix. Then I just played around with the controls.

Let me know what you think and which pic you like the most. :)

As for the camera, I was just using my old Sony Cybershot DSC-H2:

It's old and its not the best camera, but as long as you have a tripod and a lot of patience, you can produce decent pictures. :)

Yeah, I know I need new wheels. Trust me, it's gonna come sometime this year. :)

I'm planning to get this type of wheel:

I have the parts to convert the rear. The problem is I can't afford to install/paint it because most of my money is now going to mortgage. Maybe in December if we have a bonus I'll get it done. :)
