New Camera+Photoshop CS4= Me playing around...

Motorsports_3 · 11-16-2008, 10:18 PM

I just bought my first SLR and just got Photoshop CS4. These are my first attempts at photoshop, let me know what you think.

Nothing is new with my car. I am going to paint the kidney grilles shadowline. All my money has been going to my other project.

My first attemt at HDR

Messing with the colors

My reason for not modding the 135. My e30 project car
Messing with the colors

HDR

Still learning, any Q&C's welcome...

1st and only recommendation is to either A) shoot with faster shutter speeds or B) start using a tripod because most of those pictures are blurry from either being out of focus or too much camera shake.

The 3 with the 135 right? I took those with no tripod, right when I got the camera. They sucked so I just messed with the pics a bit.

The one with the e30 in garage. It was dark, so the pic looks grainy.

Definetly, let me know when you want to. You should come to the local meets.

This is my last photoshoot on stock wheels, assuming mine fit
