hm...i can't even see what kinda cars they are..

a bit more playing with curves?

lol

first pic:
mazda 3, wrx sti, wrx

second pic:
s2000, 944, wrx wagon

third pic:
s2000

^ ooh CLOSE! lol!!

in the second pic, what you're seeing is a prelude and an SiR behind it, not a wrx wagon. =D

I'd like to know if there's any way to get rid of that graininess... I forgot my tripod and was forced to use a higher ISO setting than I woulda liked.

I would take forever to fix those images... they're so dark with so much grain, that the information just isnt there.

To repeat so many others once again when it comes to photoshop "Garbage in, garbage out".

Good composition though.

you need a tripod if you are shooting with lighting like that. because you shot without one, u had to use high ISO and that's where the noise came from... so... get a tripod to use next time :)

brightening it up in PS make the noise much more apparent so no luck there

b4 editing...

maybe pick a time that is still bright enough to shoot...

lowside just got owned :D And you think he'd know his cars since he sells them for living :p

i didnt get owned, i got 6/7 cars in grainy underexposed photos right.

With very little of each showing at that.

It was a joke... You know, one of those "ha ha" ones? :D

I would've guessed RSX myself for the 3rd car in the background in the second pic.

but they're my friends' cars so I know. =p

Nothing that can't be salvaged somehow in photoshop:

haha we miss you riding trials maciek, there was a huge ride yesterday but it was somewhat incomplete...

Haha, I suck at trials :p Maybe it's good that I didn't go lol
Anyway, post more of your BMW shots. I like those. Very sharp pics :)

I want one so bad!

Nice save. I'm going to give it whir too... We should start a save this photo contest.

That's a great idea.

If someone else seconds that idea, we can start a photochop challenge: Post a picture, and see who can create the most appealing in post-processing.



Any interest?

I seem to be having problem taking pictures at night. These photos has been p-shoped so the car will be visible. Any hint on how I can take brighter picture at night without using flash or extra lighting?

Thanks.

it's really fairly simple, you need a longer shutter speed which will accordingly let more light into the photo.

you WILL need a tripod or at very least something to set the camera on so it does not move at all or you will get blurry photos.

if you have a point and shoot, it may or may not allow you to take slower photos. if not, you are kind of hosed!

i like it!

^^ I second that.

What kind of camera are you using?

that's awesome!

how'd you do that?

probably, changed levels, saturation and something else in photoshop.

Levels, curves, dodge, burn, sepia, soft-tone, vignette effect, lowered the car, removed the blinker, neat-image.
