I love interiors...:P

Some nice shots, but please don't double post (or quadruple in this case). :)
 
An attempt at what i think is HDR shooting. Took a light exposure and put it over a dark one.

That's not how HDR works, is it? Can someone explain how to replicate HDR in GT6?
That's pretty close, but there is a way to do it more effectively. Unfortunately, i only know how to do it with Photoshop, so unless you have it, i cant help you with that. but it is actually a tool, so it does it automatically. obviously you can tweak it quite allot from its default, but it is a Photoshop tool. Anyone know any other programs that have the HDR tool?

But i all honesty, that picture looks pretty good as it is! Good job

Oh and also, usually HDR's are made with 3 exposures (high exposure, correct exposure, and low exposure) so try doing what you did with three different ones and see what happens!

Well here is another example of an HDR, enjoy!

Nope, no Photoshop, but picmonkey does having a "texture" tool in which you can layer textures onto your picture, so I just layered the 2 onto each other and messed with blending/exposure/etc. Also, I de-lazyfied myself after creating that image and read up on HDR and yup, now the three exposures. Thanks though! That shot looks very nice.

Personally, I use Photomatrix Pro for HDR.
 
Don't you just love it when you find another feature in Photoshop to play with? It's almost an invigorating sensation, to be honest, and there's just so much to learn! My latest discovery is the HDR process. I was messing around with it, but nothing was really coming out very well, until WHAM! I accidentally hit the wrong option, and it became EXACTLY what I had wanted it to be! And here it is. You may not like it, but I think its a stunner!

Although having said that, the sky did turn out a bit weird, but maybe I'll fix that for another time! Hope you enjoy!​
Like a boss :bowdown::drool::P
