Nice ride.

Fair play if he's just starting out taking photos of cars/photography. Looks like he's at that 'photoshop the sh!t out of it or just leave it straight out of camera' stage that we all go through  :laugh:

Got bored so edited one. Just realised it looks wrong though, damn laptop screen. Can't wait to have a PC again.

some good concepts but ruined by too much slider action in PS

The long exposure on the puddles in a fantastic idea, but the composition isn't quite there, I'm sure the OP was more than happy with the results though  :smiley:

Sorry folks I honestly never realised this section was here. Have my MK6 blinkers on here most of the time! Next time I will remember  :wink:

like that edit Winso, just saved a copy  :smiley:!!!

Like I said, guy has just started with the photography stuff as a hobby so we can't all be experts right caistor???

Next time I will post in here, sorry again folks :wink:

Some nice pics among that bunch, like the ones with the light trails in particular. :smiley:

Oh arent we all PC now we are posting out side fortress of fault finding

edit* sorry about that, wrong person. I was much more polite last night and then told asker to stfu before he says anything. Then my post was deleted which kinda pissed me off. The mk6 section is segregated enough without the mods deleting post's because they dont like the person posting.

They do look a little over processed for my liking but the light trail ones are good.

Glad you've got some nice pictures of your car though.

Title: Re: found this 'somewhere else'
Post by: Guy on 20 January 2011, 23:21
as winso said... some of them have had the sh!t photoshopped out of them

oh well..

meanwhile some people in the original thread are slapping themselves silly over it  :rolleyes:

Yeh.

It's a bit of a phapfest re the photography and I'm not really sure why. I'm not being harsh because I understand we do all have to start somewhere but the photography really isn't close to pro standard.

It has given me a bit more motivation to get my ass into gear and sort out some pricing/promotion for my car shoots though. I'm by no means a pro but from this it looks like folks are generally very easily impressed (and possibly willing to part with money for semi decent photos!).

Shep - Few of things I think, first being the fact the original is pretty low res and has some big ole' jpeg artifacts hiding in the shadows. Lightening the dark bits brought them right out unfortunately. Also I was lazy about correcing the WB properly, then I forgot to tidy up the reflection once I'd done the actual car...

Some good ideas in there, and as Winso has said it looks like a stage i went through when i first discovered HDR just cooked the sh!t out of everything!

And if Kenny is happy with them thats all that matters really, but when you start to look at it and break it down they could be alot better but we all need to learn

but if they like them hell id charge next to nothing and be raking it in!!  :grin:

I am very happy with them, better than the mobile phone pics I usually have. Plus I never paid anything for them, was just a bit of fun so stop getting upset people! lol
