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.

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...

must say that is the only one that had any potential... shame you don't have the original RAW file to play with

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

Can send the RAW file if anyone wants to mess about with them no probs
