My friend Bryan and I hung out on Saturday to go pick up a driveshaft for his WRX. On the way back we stopped by a graveyard that had stones on which one person's date of birth was 1768! Glancing across the road to the parked car got me this view though.
I haven't done anything blatantly HDR lately, but this seemed like a good opportunity given the clouds and all... so here it is :)
Shot this when we were wrapping up the photo shoot and caught a nice reflection on the car. The colored version has the side quite overexposed, but I believe this yields great contrast in sepia. I think this not only captured the image, but also the atmosphere and the nice weather of that fine day.

Armed with the proper tools, I went back to my favorite HDR location last night hopefully to get a little inspiration. Knowing the right spots this time, I got lazy and stopped exploring and started exploiting my favorite spot with my dirty car.
It took me a while and 2 attempts to get the post processing of this to look the way I anticipated. Although this may still not be perfect, but it made to my personal favorite HDR shot I've made so far. It took me a while to get the color to look right fumbling with my D70 at night (even after the fact that I snapped 10 shots to try to get the color balance right, it still came out to be off), but then I think the effort is well worth it.
Featuring my Subaru WRX wagon that has a long list of modifications that I'm sure you don't want to know. :-)

That’s my friend and former work colleague Asad with his Generation 2 Subaru WRX.
Asad’s family immigrated from Kenya when he and his siblings were just kids. He told me some funny stories from his childhood such as whenever he and his younger brother Minhaal would squabble in the back seat of their Peugeot family car, their dad while driving had the ability to reach into the backseat to straighten them out into obedient behavior!
His father had applied to immigrate to the US so they waited and waited until one year, to use Asad's words, “they won the immigration lottery” to come to the US. Because English is widely spoken there, they had little difficulty in fitting in.
Asad and his family lived near Walnut, California not too far from Pomona in Los Angeles County. He and Minhaal set their goals to attend university at Cal Poly at San Luis Obispo in order to earn their engineering degrees. He told me a funny story when he and Minhaal were teenagers waiting at a bus stop near home when they saw a bus approaching that said ‘Cal Poly’ on the sign above the windshield. Since San Luis Obispo was normally about a 250 mile drive from home, they asked the bus driver how long of a trip would it be to Cal Poly. The driver responded that it would take about 10 minutes or so. Asad and Minhaal were astounded! They just shrugged their shoulders and got onto the bus. After the short trip they got off of the bus and set foot onto Cal Poly Pomona! They had never realized until then that they could remain living at home to attend engineering school at Cal Poly Pomona instead of relocating halfway up the state to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo!
