It looks very familiar
Great shots , Baljit 👍👍👍

 

[Walkinshaw]

Awesome pics BkS 👍👍
The LFA & Integra set are particularly good
(Sorry to hear about your cousin)

 

[Boabdulrahman]

Love what you did here, although some are over done with the flare effect. It makes us forget the actual shot if you know what I mean.
But great shots nonetheless

Thanks for the input Boab! Always nice to hear critique from you. 👍

So this is my 2.0 week 70 comp entry, Thanks to ShaolinMasta, for helping me with the shoot. I'll probs post the rest of the "rejects" later on. I'd really like some proper feedback on this, as I really haven't done much editing on it. Just a slight curves adjustment, and an adjustment to the yellow & red channels ever so slightly. The shot is best viewed in Lightbox.

Ah, believe me. I spent forever trying to get a decent shot out of the two replays me & ShaolinMasta done. It just so happened that we were at the perfect place, at the right time, so I snapped it quickly.

I really want to win the 2.0 comp at least once, so I'm hoping this will be able to stand up against Garrett's photo.

Thanks for stopping by Zam!

Your 2.0 entry is brilliant. It's completely original which is good to see in the 2.0, especially for a multi-car theme. The lighting works really well with the colours of the cars too, the black and white contrast the bright orange/yellow background nicely.

 

[Ph1lmar]

So I guess your entry has my vote

Wow... I did not expect to see you comment here Moglet, that in itself is amazing. Thank you very very very much for the detailed C&C, I very much appreciate it! 👍

So I guess your entry has my vote

Haha, Thanks dude!

Ok, so if no-one has already noticed, I managed to pass the 2000 posts mark, yesterday. A big milestone I would say, since I register here in October 2010 or around there anyway. So, in celebration of such an event, here's a couple of photos of the Honda S2000.

There are 2 HDR shots here, and I'm going to concentrate this paragraph on them. I managed to get a hold of the "HDR Efex Pro" program by Nix Software. Honestly guys, if you really want to do HDR the pro way, this program is just unbeatable. It's so easy, yet so advanced. I can make multiple selections, and change anything from detail to exposure to saturation all at the click 'n' drag of the mouse. Really great program, so if you've got Photoshop and like doing HDR's from time to time, HDR Efex Pro is the way to go!

Damn.
Great HDR's and dat photoshop'd drop. That's a bigger drop than Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites.

 

[20832]

That just looks awesome. Beyond everything else.
I almost can feel the heat from the pictures and the sun in it.

You're best work so far.
May I ask, how you did this summer effect?

 

[iNs3CuRe]

Beautiful Editing BkS 0_0 👍 I have also just looked at your gaming rig, you need some major cable managment ^^

 

[Ph1lmar]

Second to last shot is amazing! 👍

 

[Adrianf1]

Beautiful shots. 👍

Wow, thanks Pascal!
I done the sunshine effect by using Knoll Light Factory. It's an advanced Lens Flare plug-in for Photoshop. It has like 120 pre-sets and you can tweak everything from the light rays to the light glow, etc.

Thanks Ono, and haha. It isn't that bad, it's just because the wires are wrapped around the cross-plate thing.

Second to last shot is amazing! 👍

Thanks Phil!

Beautiful shots. 👍

Cheers Adrian.

2nd shot: It so crisp. The HDR effect really works there.
4th shot: So detailed!

 

[ShaolinMasta]

Thank you Ilya!

 

[RezidentDS]

Great shots! I especially like the shot #3

 

[Boabdulrahman]

Love the second shot but the darkness of the clouds on the edges annoyed me I guess.
But love the effect.
Also, the last shot for me needed a higher aperture for me, maybe up a level so that the focus comes out good.
Great stuff you got here.

 

[BkS]

Thanks Boab! Yeah I know, the dark edges annoyed me too. It was just the way the program merged the photos together, and when back in Photoshop I couldn't be bothered going round all though little edges doing content-aware fills. So I tried to mask it as bet as possible.

For the last shot, I was really trying to focus on the RG2 logo, not the actually spoke/rim itself. But thank you for the in-depth comment. 👍

 

[RedSuns-Ryuu]

That S2000 set is beautiful!
I can relate to it because i used to own a S2000, but mine was red hardtop.
Brings back memories of mine.
My favorite set so far!!! Hands Down

 

[OJSideways]

i really liked the Integra set but this one is just awesome BkS!.. i really love the way you are going lately with the sunshine, looks so summer like and relaxing. I usually dont like HDR and most people just dont know how to use it and can really ruin an otherwise good pic but you really nailed it, all four photos are fantastic, great job!

PS: i like your watermark BTW.

 

[zambuca]

Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely worthy of the 2000 posts celebration!
