'bout time I posted some stuff in here. Here's a set from earlier tonight. Washed the car and went for a photoshoot.

I used skyline gtr guys "psuedo hdr" preset for Adobe Lightroom as an influence in how i edited this pics. All editing was done in Lightroom 2.0 and then resized in Photoshop CS3.

Of course, comments/crits are always welcome. Good/bad doesn't matter. I want to really get back into photography and I need all the constructive criticism I can get.

Too many halos for my taste. The older tree-canopy shots look good, though.

wth with the editing dude, its TOOOOOOOOOO much! it looks gray, almost photoshopped in, like you took the car from another picture and pasted it there.

sorry, but I have spoken against too much editing, even morein a car picture, it makes it feel unnatural, like it doesnt belong there, this certainly is too much, even if the pictures are pretty good in terms of composition, the first one particularly is great, but the editing ruins most of them for me.

if you want to get into car photography, really do car photgraphy, you had awesome lighting and a good background, I would have loved to shoot a car there and with that light, try to expose the pics correctly, bracket the expositions and play with white balance settings to get the right colours and light, if you can use filters, and do the less editing possible for a good car picture. composition is good, and even so, I'd like to see the originals of the entire session, I think they could look good.

I think the last two are pretty solid, but I have to agree; the editing is just a bit too much at times. We still love you Charles.
