Thanks Mike.

That's an amazing capture. Is that Kamloops?

I want to kick myself

KW-E36, nice lighting!

Sweet cars :D

[k.dub]

Thanks. It was around 5:45pm and the sun was setting. The sunset really reflected nicely on the gun metal color

Yup. They parked beside me (you can see the owners walking away behind the Audi) and didn't notice the 300SL(!). Needless to say, no one was looking at the Aston. Looks too much like corporate brother Jaguar XK8, IMHO. Everyone was rubber necking the Benz. I've posted these up before, and in those pics, you can see the Aston coming down the street and parking beside me.

Actually, now that you mention it, I think I posted the same comment about the Aston before too...hahaha :D

[Levitron]

Dot, post some of your clubintegra pics that you did a while back.

[MikesJo]

Salar, different cars. The one you posted is owned by a guy named Mazenz right?

First one is owned by a guy named Anthony, thing is totally mint. Has smoked euro de's, smoked rear lights with BBS , umm can't remember, the old style 16inch deep baskets, 3 piece one. And the 2nd one is a white M3 stock, owned by...my dad :).

Do you have any more pics?

The original shot did not have colours looking like that. I did lots of photoshop work in order to bring out the colour details. Same with the water reflections as well. . . the original shot didn't show much detail from it so I had to "bump" everything up to give it that dramatic look.

Thanks for your comments guys. . . this is definately one of my favorite photos I've shot. ;)

thnx. yup posted them b4. more cars in those. but the only thing i regret was having TOO GOOD a seat lol... being 10th row main grandstand with longest lense at 85mm didnt give me much variety in angles to shoot in...

btw, nice car, great house :D

Got a couple requests for more pics of the BMW, so I decided to edit another oldie:

~S I like this one a lot better than the red one.

The angle is better, and the lines flow better.

Just a thought....have you tried applying some photoshop "photo" filters to this pic? What I had in mind was the red of your car; perhaps use the filters to make it even more contrasty.

[Doc]

EDIT: Ok I tried a different color filter (green), and I got the perfect contrast.
You're right Levitron, it looks much better.

Thanks.

how/where do u add "photo" filters or color filters on PS? :o

[Doc]

Originally posted by dub.dub

I personally use a third party plugin for all the photo filter after effects (nik color efex pro 2).

But you could also simply make a new colored layer and play with the opacity/fill. PS CS also has its own photo filters (image/adjustments/photo filter).

I hope the owners don't mind!

Spiderwebs!!!! Wahaha....it needs a wax :D

I like this shot. Perhaps it's how the flare ends up being 1/3rd of the way into the frame.

What was your saturation setting for this? Looks like you bumped it up a bit.

Domani definitely takes the cake for best shot in the automotive category.

did u use a camera mount on the 2nd pic, or u stuck ur body out

Stuck body out the window, with arm extended out even further. It was actually kind of scary, since we were going 100+ and all...

[Levitron]

Looks very brochure-like.

Take off the border, add the Audi logo on it, and bam, you got a nice little ad :D

[dub.dub]

haha yea that's what i was thinking

was wondering how u like brought out the pic and made the lil details apparent? what'd u do for post-processing if u dont mind sharing, domani?

[[azn angel]]

domani..wicked as usual...

everytime i shoot car shots, i find that to expose properly for highlights the shadow areas are too dark.

great exposure!

are you mostly shooting on overcast days with light behind you?

[Domani]

np problem

i think the little details u mention is all about exposure... just
lucky at that moment...

post process in order of sequence
1. auto contrast
2. add more contrast
3. remove the plate number
4. crop
5. border (which all of u hate LOL)
6. save for web.

Thanks D.

for this particular shot, the sun was on the right of me and has already
been block by the mtn.... thus the soft lighting...

if possible, the light behind me would be best... and around
the dying day sun would be optimal...

[dub.dub]

so you don't play with levels or auto level at all?
and when u guys save for web, do you go high (60) or maximum (80)?

[Domani]

Originally posted by dub.dub

nope....

i just double checked :)

and i saved @ 100%



edit: i did use auto level, just to see but didn't do much good, so it
was not necessary

[Levitron]

Originally posted by dub.dub

I usually do auto levels....and then manually shift the midtones to the right a bit too as well (move the left arrow to the right more).

Saving for web, I have a preset Action for saving to the desktop, at around 60. Reason for that? Web viewing will not really matter with a higher compression anyways. Usually means less bandwidth used, translating into faster loading images.

Which leads us to another very important topic in photography: PREPARATION!

Domani here did a scout of the site before hand, and found the location a day ahead in preparation for returning there for a shoot.

Usually if you want good results, this is what you would want to do. Same thing for sunsets.....trekking to a spot a day ahead and timing the sunset first, will mean a world of difference.

if the leftest arrow = midtones what do the other 2 arrows represent (middle and farther right ones)?

ahh, preset for saving onto desktop, i should do that as well... :) thanks!

[[azn angel]]

no no.. wrong

with the levels palette open, the far left triangle is the black point, the middle triangle is the gray point, and the far right the white point.

[Levitron]

Argh, what was I saying....too late at night!

What I means is in the RGB channel (instead of the individual red, green, or blue channels) move the far left triangle.

Dennis is right. Somehow I got "midtone" mixed up in there :(

nah it's no secret...

pending on situation and condition..

this time 1/30 ... since i don't need to mess with the aperature
and it's low light condition anyways so i just set it @ 1/30 on AP...

It does a minor lessening of noise in pictures.

I do it sometimes, if I find the picture is too noisy....however, if you want a better solution to noise control, use Neat Image or a similar program (but it'll mean you need to spend more time on an image).

[dub.dub]

kk thx! :)

hmm... i can't "find" it.. if u know what i mean... :D

[DaFonz]

Hehe...I'd been lookiong at lenses all day... ultrasonic motor was the first thing that came to mind. :D

[keitaro]

IS doesn't really help with panning.

Um... I don't get it. You're moving your camera anyways when panning so wouldn't IS like... not work?

I got me a 50mm at the swap today. YAH! :D

[dub.dub]

so IS doesn't work when panning? is the function of IS to keep focus on a certain point? while panning, can't it do that as well?

hmm...that'd odd, The wheels arn't moving...but you'd think they would, because by lengthening the exposure, would they move?

Dood, I'm on cable and it's still fucking slow as hell.

Use jpeg, not gif. gif wasn't made for that anyways.

Your file size could be 50k instead of 200k.

[DaFonz]

Ok.. dood.. you have good pictures, but your site is stupid.

a) Stop using gifs for photos. You could cut down your file sizes by at least half by using jpeg.

b) You don't need to post 600k files on your site. It's actually bad for you if someone decides to rip off your work. Use compression. Compression is gooooodddddddd

PS: Nice pics... I got as far as loading the thumbnails and one of the blown up shots before deciding that your site was stupid.

[Domani]

yeah i got cable too

made me feel like i m back on dial up! hehehe

[Walperstyle]

Gif? interesting, I thought only the thumbnails were gif

You've got a great site in terms of design! and some very nice photos!

however to beat a dead horse, you're not creating proper gif's and jpg's for your site. all your images, even at that size, should be no bigger then 150k. on average your images were 550k +. Simply terrible by the laws of site design.....slow site means you'll lose your viewers because its too slow to load. web people are the most impatient. if it takes more then 2 seconds to load, it's too late they've moved on.

now, the way to make your files smaller in file size is to use the "save for web" feature in photoshop.
-open an image >> 'file' >> 'save for web'.
-change the view to '2 Up' by clicking the tab in the upper left of this window. you should now see your image twice side by side. one is going to be your original, and the other is to preview what your image will look like as you change the settings.
-Now select 'JPEG medium' in the drop down list of 'settings'.
-if you move the 'quality' bar, you'll notice the file size of your image (in kb) changes at the bottom of your image. i typically save my images around '55', play around and find a setting so that your image end up being around 100k. note-the same thing can be done with your gif menu buttons, except they should be around 100 bytes.


The font you used is hard to read at small sizes. i'd suggest making the font bigger, or change fonts.

Guys...the shot doesn't have to be during a high speed turn to appear like it's high speed.

[[azn angel]]

think about this.....

shutter for two seconds + car moving under 5km's in a circle = that image....

hold your camera in your hand and open the shutter for 5 seconds. now your image has motion blur, but were you moving very fast? NO

Most "higher end" prosumer cameras and pretty much all SLR's have remote trigger, or remote cable release.

[Levitron]

Originally posted by dub.dub

SLR's in general already come tricked out with IR sensors (if we're talking about Canon here) for a remote to trigger off a shot.

A remote cable release is I guess, somewhat of a more dated term referring to older type of "remotes" where it is linked via a cable to the camera. Some of the older types are pneumatic, some are just a cable/wire that you press, etc.

i'll be mounting a video camera onto the car for action shots.. it'll be real time video instead of 5sec exposures. i CAN fast forward it but the car's movements, and stuff wont be the same at slow speeds

haha damn.. crazy pics.. i was at skate plaza on sunday and there was some import model photo going on.. everyone was just skating doing their thing, and all of a sudden i pass by this ledge and i look back there was some HOT girl just spreading her legs.. i'm like WTF!! haha and i look around there are like 8 other people in front of her like 3 meters away or so taking pictures.. so then she moves up to the biggest handrail and shes lying down by the ledge that sticks out from the stairs that the handrail is on and i was skating the mannie pad which is right beside.. the dude who was taking pictures asks me "who can jump off of this drop here" i said "anyone of us here can" the guy reply "good, you do it" i'm laughed and i'm like ok... so i just ollie the highest drop there at plaza he takes asks me to do it 3 more times.. they took 3 pictures.. they showed me it it was pretty good.. the photographer had some expensive camera.. so it was a picture of her lying down posing while i'm in the background ollieing.. was like 8-9 feet high or so.. anyone else see it at plaza?! i asked the guy what was it for but he didn't tell me. i wanna know if it was on another site or something.. if anyone see it let me know, i was wearing a blue long sleeve shirt with a brown and grey striped beanie. black jeans and black shoes..

what does it mean by using two exposures?

[MikesJo]

Originally posted by dub.dub

1 exposure = 1 picture.
like how a roll of film has 24 exposures, meaning you can take 24 pictures. So what they're talking about is taking 2 pictures and combining them.

[Domani]

yeah
stacking.

[DaFonz]

Two exposures for when you have different things you want to capture in the pohoto with different light levels.

IE.. bright sky, dark foreground... room with lights.

You'd basically expose one frame for the light and one for everything else and then combine them.

Domani, what you said made no sense.. :D

I suggested two exposures so you could get the texture of the wall without having the light blow it out... i think it's really distracting especially since the car is pretty dark.

but anyhow, it dosn't matter, i know the light blow out i did it
on purpose, just adjust the contrast until my liking.

No, actually what YOU said didn't make sense.

He obviously knew what he was doing. He WANTED to blow out those lights, and over expose so that he could get contrast. In this case here, it's not about "going by the rules and getting a perfect exposture", but rather Domani wanted a shot where there would be contrast. Dulling the light would effectively cancel out all the "interesting" elements of this photograph.

And.....it IS called "stacking".

[dub.dub]

so in stacking, you would put the 2 different exposures/layers in ps and play with opacity or crop things out? or how would u combine them?

[Domani]

Originally posted by dub.dub

yep
pretty much....

u can stack as many images as u one.. as long as it helps u
get the final result that you like.

[[azn angel]]

SHAT UP MAH FUCKING BABIES!

*sigh*

for starters, the term of the technique you're looking for is called a 'double exposure'! it's when you take two images without advancing the film to the next frame in the camera. THUS you get two images ontop of each other.

stacking is something done ONLY in ps. when you put two layers very simular incontent over each other in ps, and then make your adjustments (ie. dodge/burn/layer mask/opacity...etc). This is basically the electronic way of braketing with traditional film.

now ALL this aside domani mentioned this was the type of shot he wanted to get, high contrast. it doesn't mean everyone must like it, fuck, its art afterall.

lets just all try and be impartial when giving comments suggestions.

[[azn angel]]

on that note, personally the above image is great. i love the blown out wall and really big dark shadow to the right of the image. they help balance the image.

what does bother me, is the rear glass. cause its green and i can see through it, bothers me. i would have tinted it all dark., easily done in ps.

cool... good eye on the rear glass... i should burn that in...

[J__]

i like the burn out light and the high contrast look. but the headlight+turn signal reflection on the right in the background is kinda odd... i guess u dodged out the head lights (i can still see a little :D) but the reflections is still there on the ground :D

I was answering dub.dubs question!

It happened to come after domani's post, so fine I should have been more clear.

Gee... I must be stupid for not catching on what he was "obviously" doing. :rolleyes:

What the hell is the point of a photography forum if you don't DISCUSS pictures. I was giving feedback based on my OPINIONS. If he doesn't want to take them and is happy with his photos, then all the more power to him.

[J__]

whoa it's getting to look like fight club here :D i consider photography as an art. and AS AN ART everyone has their priviledge of taking a stab at it. if one considers his own photography as an art then you should consider urself as an artist. this is the hard part. no matter how inexperienced the audience may be in the field, they still have a sense of beauty and what looks good and what doesnt. so the artist's job is to take into consideration of what they say AND balance that with their original ideas, and ways of portraying themselves. it is this balance that makes a good piece. good art is what appeals to everyone, even if it is strange and odd, it still has to been viewed by everyone and anyone and get a reaction of "it works" from them. got art is not something that gets "great" from one group but "wtf" from another. this is what makes a good artist so hard to come by. i think we all should listen to what others have to say about our work that they are not satisfied with and adjust it accordingly while still keeping our own unique ways. this is the stepping stone to perfecting our skills.

[dub.dub]

i don't get a lot of criticisms... i want more! haha meaning i gotta take more

[[azn angel]]

to everyone!!!!!

i dont think the issue is on whether we should comment on each others work. You're correct, being in the photo forum is about showing off some work and hearing what people have to say.

I think the more important thing to learn here, is how to deliver the message/comments/suggestions. Because photo is art, and art is often a physical manisfestation of emotion, then one could be sensitive towards their photo. we just need to be sensitive to how someone else might take it.

sooooooooo, lets all be happy family and continue. yes we still want to hear your comments dafonz!

i don't agree at all :D here's why.

-i dont think artwork has to be viewed int he same positive way, for it to be considered 'good' art.
-what is 'good' to me, might be the opposet to the masses. what makes their perception of 'good' artwork more creditable?

ie/ look at maxim's photography. in a whole, i think its mostly crap. does it appeal to a large audience? YES!

when i read your above statements, in regards to the correlation between a widely accepted piece of art and 'good' art, i instead make the correlation between financial success and a widely accepted piece of art. i think if you want to be succesful financially in photography, you have to have images that are demand, therefore popular. if they're not, you'll have a hard time selling.

either way, imo, art is art. we're all entitled to draw the boundaries between 'good' and 'bad' art.

[dub.dub]

such as the pictures on "boys are stupid. throw rocks at them"
those cartoons = art... :D

i dont think the issue is on whether we should comment on each others work. You're correct, being in the photo forum is about showing off some work and hearing what people have to say.

I think the more important thing to learn here, is how to deliver the message/comments/suggestions. Because photo is art, and art is often a physical manisfestation of emotion, then one could be sensitive towards their photo. we just need to be sensitive to how someone else might take it.

sooooooooo, lets all be happy family and continue. yes we still want to hear your comments dafonz!

:o :D

i don't agree at all :D here's why.

-i dont think artwork has to be viewed int he same positive way, for it to be considered 'good' art.
-what is 'good' to me, might be the opposet to the masses. what makes their perception of 'good' artwork more creditable?

ie/ look at maxim's photography. in a whole, i think its mostly crap. does it appeal to a large audience? YES!

when i read your above statements, in regards to the correlation between a widely accepted piece of art and 'good' art, i instead make the correlation between financial success and a widely accepted piece of art. i think if you want to be succesful financially in photography, you have to have images that are demand, therefore popular. if they're not, you'll have a hard time selling.

either way, imo, art is art. we're all entitled to draw the boundaries between 'good' and 'bad' art.

Well said, I agree with you 100%.

Domani isn't selling his images here, so technical perfection isn't an issue.

I see a white one that looks exactly like that all the time parked outside London Drugs in Richmond on #3.

[[azn angel]]

that car is soo baller! love it!

is it just me, but is that car slightly out of focus?

something to suggest, i find a car with a front license plate really, i mean REALLY, destroys the picture. its like such a little thing to take off, and can really break the lines of the car. just seems a little less professional witht he plate on. however, i understand, its not always your car, and sometimes time permits the removal of a plate...

i believe thats the parking lots on granville island.. i did some shots there, but the lighting is limited. i think a desaturate would be good for this setting.
