This is it. I've ceased work on my Williams FW14B. The BULL decal on the front wing and the Labatt's medallions on the rear have been left off (I claim it as a creative choice, but I just didn't want to bother with them) and the body shell is MIA. I'm quite content.

Funny, I have recently been using HDR more and more. But I'm usually taking pictures of the kids in the backyard and dark things in the garage where the lighting is awful, and HDR helps. For still photography, I agree completely.

Yeah, it's a model kit.

Lots of glue and screws.

HDR doesn't stink, you just don't know how to manipulate it properly :) Technically, any HDR shot can look identical to any non hdr shot by adjusting levels.

Well, to be fair, it's the HDR option for the camera on my phone. It's no SLR of course, and without a spotlight, it really doesn't photograph this car that well because of the paint.

It's either completely completely black with no detail or HDR with tons of grain/noise.

Yeah, that's all I got too. I know what better is but I don't have it. The phone HDR does a surprisingly good job!

Well, I should've said the HDR option on my phone stinks.

By the transitive property, my phone stinks.

Yikes. Remind me not to buy whatever phone you have.
