Personally I'm not a fan of lots of Photoshop effects. I think the skill and art is in capturing the subject as it is in reality. A bit of correction or removing a telegraph pole from your head is acceptable but not those unreal skyscapes unless, of course, the whole photo is strongly creating such an image.

I'm pretty sure that photo is HDR, so it is effectively a photography technique. I know what you're saying though, it does look unnatural, I do like it however.

Aha!!! You are not the first to think that, but I can confirm it is definitely NOT HDR - it was blowing a gale and there was no way even with a tripod that HDR was going to work. I will try and get the original off my mate.
ETA: Sorry, didn't realise that the picture had to be taken by me - but it is my car and I was there when it was took!

....Not a 'rule' but only my suggestion because otherwise anyone can trawl the internet and post atmospheric photos. A bit like our VAG Babes thread - There has to be a VAG car in the shot or something clearly VAG, otherwise there's just zillions of hot Babes.
For what it's worth, I feel happier knowing it's a member's car and you were there.
I agree about the Photoshop approach too... As long as the result is good.

I'm sure someone will come along and correct me but I am pretty sure you can do HDR from a single RAW file. Create 3 or 5 bracketed images and use Photshop/Photomatix to do the clever bit.

Yes and no, doing this is really cheating the system. By manipulating one raw image you are expanding on the dynamic range but you are not creating more image data, merely processing the single image. You can get some good looking HDR pictures in this way. Photomatix will process an HDR image in this way but for a true HDR image you need to be working off of different images, usually 3/4 bracketed shots this way you have additional image data over the 1 image that would otherwise be manipulated.
Hope that makes sense :signLOL:
