ichiban · 01-16-2010, 09:28 PM

Just messing around. Let me know what you guys think.

driftdriven · 01-16-2010, 09:58 PM

WOW I love that pic! New wallpaper!

Mike@F1 Autohaüs · 01-16-2010, 10:10 PM

Nice! Do you have a the original image to compare it with?

oneintheory · 01-16-2010, 10:58 PM

its not dark enough. what program did you use?

radiantm3 · 01-16-2010, 11:34 PM

Not enough contrast, but cool photo besides that.

Where did you take it?

1013mm · 01-16-2010, 11:34 PM

monitor probably not calibrated, but bump the contrast and the darker colors. otherwise very good start!

ichiban · 01-17-2010, 01:18 AM

i used photomatix, i'll mess around with it. later.

Later:

here's the original:

I like the original so much more, great looking car.

radiantm3 · 01-17-2010, 04:11 AM

You didn't have multiple exposures?

ichiban · 01-17-2010, 04:15 AM

i had 5 exposures, the "original" was just to show what it looked like with exposed bg.

Bcav · 01-17-2010, 04:39 AM

whats the best software for this kinda stuff exactly?

i like how the picture came out alot, you made it feel more vibrant and full

nice pic
That 'scape sure reminds me of of area near paso robles/cambria....santa rosa creek rd

1013mm · 01-17-2010, 10:31 AM

nice nice 3 exposures would have been fine. but i guess the 5 exposures will provide a little more fine details that I see in the trees behind especially

great!

angrybaker · 01-17-2010, 12:56 PM

nice pic/car

supraking · 01-18-2010, 12:53 AM

Do it on a sunny day, the cloud cover absorbs the light and not enough hits the ground/car to provide real contrast in the photo. Good start though.

Jcrewsn · 01-18-2010, 01:40 AM

looks like a fairytale... i like it

escobar929 · 01-18-2010, 08:14 AM

not bad, it kinda makes the car look dirty though

M2 · 01-18-2010, 04:13 PM

I like the "later" shot, the trees look incredible. much clearer. Great shot and car. I saw you took the phone lines out of the pic, now you need to take the white mile marker post out from the road side; it will make it cleaner.

thanks guys, the car looks "dirty" because i had just claybar'd and waxed for 7 hours the day before, so it was very reflective.

What kind of camera? I am looking to get an HD. ya it is really reflective of that dirt on the ground so it does give the impression the car is dirty but of course it is just too clean
