cusco kid Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 hows this for photo talent. these are the latest photos of aileens car at a photo shoot at south queensferry at the weekend this guy is good. let me know what you think. geo //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
cruz104 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Hi Geo They are amazing, there have been some good pictures on this site but that is just different class altogether. John
rtm4676 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Almost cartoon like (you know like the modern cartoons, not the oldies) impressive!
tommo9375 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Very nice,pics ,what spoiler is that you got fitted geo?
col666 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Really like the 3rd pic but somebodies gone a bit OTT in photoshop for the first 2. Nice looking Scoob.
cusco kid Posted March 23, 2009 Author Posted March 23, 2009 Very nice,pics ,what spoiler is that you got fitted geo? just the standard spoiler with carbon risers from across the pond m8.
tommo9375 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 just the standard spoiler with carbon risers from across the pond m8. Where can i get the 'risers' from, can you buy them in the uk?
stum450n Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Where can i get the 'risers' from, can you buy them in the uk? There's quite a few on ebay mate.
sti_steve Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Too much photoshop IMO. I think photoshop should be used sparingly and not take the full effect away from the car itself.
billyboystoys Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 nice one geo i like it nice motor mate .billy
cusco kid Posted March 23, 2009 Author Posted March 23, 2009 Too much photoshop IMO. I think photoshop should be used sparingly and not take the full effect away from the car itself. its not the car ,its the overall picture thats good ,imo geo
4Hero Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Nice car, shame about the processing. There's no talent in the work done on these shots in my opinion, the actual photos themselves are pretty good, but are spoiled by the work done on them. HDR is a piece of cake, and it's so easy to go over the top with it (as shown in these photos), but if done properly HDR can look pretty amazing. Not my cup of tea, sorry.

Actually, a lot of the HDR stuff looks just odd to me, but the third pic posted above is pretty good looking to me. I think it depends on what the image is of, it's entirely possible that the third pic wouldn't look as good as the HDR'd version (although of the ones I've seen, you generally need a decent initial pic/pics to get a decent HDR shot).
thefastone Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 (edited) Yeah, I'm pretty much with Neil, Nice car, shame about the processing. I don't do HDR at all, although it can be used to some good effect, its not here... oh and also, I think that they are too dark too IMO... but then, Ive just looked at his website and flickr... yeah... Car is definitely looking good though Geo! Edited March 24, 2009 by thefastone
pmacFTO Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Waaaaay overprocessed - but that impresses people so a lot of guys do it. Nice enough shots but the HDR is overdone to the extent it's not nice! It's poster material but would not go far on a pro photography site...will check his site and Flickr tho - benefit of the doubt an all that

scouk Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Not really a fan of photoshopping photos myself either... But #2 and #3 look sweet! IDeally need to be blown up to poster size!!

the squiggle Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Looks very Top Gear-ish I like them but i know nothing about photography to the extent of asking what is HDR?
4Hero Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 well in my world m8 they look amazing but what do i know geo As long as the client is happy, that's all that matters Geo Looks very Top Gear-ishI like them but i know nothing about photography to the extent of asking what is HDR? Grant, In image processing, computer graphics, and photography, high dynamic range imaging (HDRI or just HDR) is a set of techniques that allows a greater dynamic range of luminances between light and dark areas of a scene than normal digital imaging techniques. The intention of HDRI is to accurately represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes ranging from direct sunlight to shadows. High dynamic range imaging was originally developed in the 1930s and 1940s by Charles Wyckoff. Wyckoff's detailed pictures of nuclear explosions appeared on the cover of Life magazine in the mid 1940s. The process of tone mapping together with bracketed exposures of normal digital images, giving the end result a high, often exaggerated dynamic range, was first reported in 1993, and resulted in a mathematical theory of differently exposed pictures of the same subject matter that was published in 1995 by Steve Mann and Rosalind Picard. In 1997 this technique of combining several differently exposed images to produce a single HDR image was presented to the computer graphics community by Paul Debevec. This method was developed to produce a high dynamic range image from a set of photographs taken with a range of exposures. With the rising popularity of digital cameras and easy-to-use desktop software, the term HDR is now popularly used to refer to this process. This composite technique is different from (and may be of lesser or greater quality than) the production of an image from a single exposure of a sensor that has a native high dynamic range. Tone mapping is also used to display HDR images on devices with a low native dynamic range, such as a computer screen. I never typed that by the way
Big Gordon Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Grant, glad you asked that question before i did , what a reply Neil
