Dood that second picture looks like it was painted!! Sick pictures and welcome to the board!

it's a new trendy method of photography called high dynamic range imaging (HDRi), which makes photos look like if they were painted :cool:
Thanks for the welcome ;):
p.s I'm not a dood :)

What make and model of camera? Is this HDRi a camera setting or done with photoshop software (if software, which one?)

I have Canon 20D. The camera usually sets to make 3 (or more pics) with auto (or manual) bracketing with EV +/-3, so you could get 3 shots of the same object - one with normal exposure, one with too short exposure (very dark) and one with too long exposure (very bright). The more variations of exposure you get, the better your HDRi image will be.
After that you can make a HDRi image, using these pics and Photomatix software. It generates the image automatically and you just have to adjust some options during tone mapping..
My English skills are not that good, so maybe wikipedia can explain the rest of the process better: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_dynamic_range_imaging :)

I've been experimenting with HDRi for a short time, but if you're intersted in seeing more of my pics you can find them here: http://www.dpgina.info/thumbnails.php?album=44

Good info. Thanks. I'll have to experment with manual EV on my Canon Rebel.
 
Good to see the 4Runner making into motherland.

How people react to the car?

Interesting to see if its going to replace Mercedes and BMW SUVs.

SUV-drivers usually look pretty surprised and confused, because they can't identify this Toyota, whick looks a bit like a Land Cruiser :)

I don't think that 4Runners can replace BMW X5s or MB MLs. Mostly beacuse most of the europen SUV-drivers don't even know that this kind of Toyota even exists. And even if they knew they would prefer only limitied series with leather seats, JBL audio system and so on. A Limited T4R would cost the same as BMW and ML SUVs, so I think they would prefer something they already know for the same price. Which is pity :(

Like I said above now it's 32F, but during the winter it can reach -22F... Last winter it was -36F and it was a disaster, russian cars couldn't even start up :D But you know, Russia is huuuge so in some areas we can have -58F as an average during winter time and in some areas it stays around 32F.

I thought diesel T4R were available only for emergency and military services ;): My runs on Gasoline

Gas price for (octane number) 95 is about 0,72$-1$ (for 1 litre) depending on the gasoline company

It's ok with the questions and thanks for the excitement :)

Damn, you all have 95 octane!!?? I want some of that!! BTW, 1 Litre is approximately 0.26417 gallons...so 1 gallon would be approximately $2.726 to $3.785 for 95 Octane!! I know what cold is, I went to college in northeast Washington state and it got down to -22 degrees F. There is no real justification for that level of cold .:bash:

North American and European system of determine the octane number is different.
For example Russian octane numbers are 93, 95, and 98. That type of gas is similar to our North American 87, 89, and 91. So Russian 95 is our 89.

Ah, ok makes sense now!
 
Welcome to the board and thanks for sharing the pics.....:)

As big of a P.O.S. as most people think the Pinto was, I have to stand up for it...lol....My first car was a 1972 Pinto. My sister learned to drive a stick in that car, then my brother, then I had it for a coupel of years. After I moved on to another car, my father drove it for several more years.........but I am not sure why. Anyway, when he finally sold it, it had 268,000 miles on the original motor and original trans. Luckily it was never hit in the rear and for all it's design failures, it was still pretty dependable......just my $.02.......lol:biggrin2:
