Starting to get a bit addicted to cleaning now and have been frequenting the Detailing world forum too.

 

Using some new Zaino products and topping of with a Chemical Guy's sealant.

Addictive isnt it :D

 

Car is looking great pal.

 

Yeah - and ufortunately on black it seems to be a never ending process.

 

Everything is by hand at the minute but will probably begin learning machine polishing when I get the time and funds.

Kidding, looks spot on there pal, how did you get that look with the trees etc is it a photoshop product?

 

HDR taken from RAW images mate. Effect is great on a clean metallic surface like a car!

HDR and RAW images? Lehmans terms please id love to do a shot like that

 

First off you need a digital camera that can take RAW format images as well as jpg. However, it is possible to do using just jpg and an auto bracketing function on the camera.

 

A search on here or google will be your best bet for explaining HDR (High Dynamic Range).

 

In a nutshell, an HDR image is produced by combining several instances of the same shot but under different exposures. This essentially has the effect of bringing out more detail in both the shadow and highlight areas that otherwise wouldn't be picked up from a single exposure.

 

Our eyes have a larger dynamic range (in terms of light) than a camera can record in a single image.

 

However, to combine the differently exposed shots together, you need either photoshop or some other software (eg Photomatix).

You can then use the software to play around with the 'strength' and 'smoothing' of light to achieve different effects - some look natural, others looking a bit more 'off the wall!'

 

There a quite a few threads on here about HDR....

Machine polishing is where the fun (and expense) really starts :)

In Lehman's terms, it'll cost you about $1.7billion to recoup your money over a 20 year period.
