arrutled · 04-08-2009, 06:34 PM

sun was setting, thought i would take advantage

Dr_Jones · 04-08-2009, 06:48 PM

nice...what ISO do you use? Ive been practicing as well and they come out grainy or too dark

arrutled · 04-08-2009, 06:59 PM

I had it on The A setting and set the to the lowest setting which makes it the darkest possible, then I put it on continuous shot and snapped at -2 and 0. I did not use the +2 shot in this one.

Ok, ill stop after this one

Miami135i · 04-08-2009, 09:23 PM

You guys should google some torrents for Photomatix.

I did and most of the torrents (if not all) have a user and serial number to type in.
Its great now and I dont get any watermarks.

Miami135i · 04-08-2009, 09:25 PM

or.. if you want I can photoshop those water marks out.

Just send me a message. A 'PM'?

radiantm3 · 04-08-2009, 09:52 PM

Or you can just pay a measly $99 bucks to the developers who worked hard to create a great piece of software. I mean what's 100 bones when you can afford a car that's $40k+. Just saying.

Or you could support the developers and their families (helping them put food on the table and pay their mortgages) by purchasing the very reasonably priced application. Just a thought.

EDIT: radiantm3 beat me to it.

Dont forget about the 1K camera dude! lol jk. Ill buy it when I have good reason. Right now I am just playing around trying to figure out my camera and all. Until then, watermarks! sorry, Hope you at least enjoy!

Nice shots, but we need to get you out of your driveway!!
plus, on the upside: wheels don't look like anything traumatic happened

ptack · 04-10-2009, 05:19 AM

Try playing around with the focal length. Right now you're capturing everything, but you're going to want some shots that literally focus on the car.
And ditto on the software. Having it will help you understand the camera's capabilities because digital photography is only half about the camera.

arrutled · 04-10-2009, 09:32 AM

Good idea, Ill play around with that tomorow
