I love the slight amount of opposite lock and the head angle on this one! 👍Motorsport last weekend: chance to break out the long'uns. Here's a sample:
And here's the gallery of the day.

Thanks! I had to break out a 3-stop ND at one point, because even at F/13 & ISO 100 I was getting shutter speeds of 1/640 and faster. If you're shooting a white car in strong light you need to bump up the exposure a little from what the camera thinks. You can do this in post-production of course, especially if you're shooting RAW, but you can also just lift the highlights a little to bring the whites out.
The landscape shots were all with my gold-plated (not really, but it was £180) polarizer. Damn 82mm filter threads!

This is kinda lame, but i couldnt find this picture online, I was wondering how do you do this? I shot my little brother skateboarding and just bursted it, and i tried to photomerge, nope didnt work, tried to pile on the layers adjusting opacity, nope didnt work, any help?

Looking for feedback on my shots. The post production isn't so important, I need composition and colour critique on static automotive photography. I like shooting Audis, they don't have bad angles and the simple shape and form doesn't protrude with wider lenses.
1 I would have included the top and left corners of the house by moving camera a bit more up and to the left, you've got enough pavement to play with. Then it could have gone straight in to a lifestyle magazine. 👍
2 I would have moved over to the left and try to get the lamppost out or shoot from the other side if possible. There's a guy walking past .... wait 15 secs and he's gone!
Hope that helps.

@ a trico pro
Rotating Landscapes usually doesn't work well. Personally I find the red boxed section much more appealing. Suggest you give it another go...

Post processing is really good.👍👍
The pic looks too much like a lot of postcards you can buy in the shop. Your eye wanders a lot through the photo and doesn't settle, there's too much in the pic. That's what lets it down...imo.

I know how it would be done at night, its called Stroboscopic Photography.
During the day I'd say you need a camera with a really fast FPS and a good tripod.

How to make a morph courtesy of Transworld Snowboarding back when it was good.
I tried it last summer, and yeah, a tripod is a good idea. I wouldn't think my 3 fps would be good for skate or snow stuff, but I've never tried. Here's what I got:
Thanks for the pointers! I noticed the guy walking after I took the shot, I guess I just took the wrong one when I edited the final. Damn!

Here's a shot I took yesterday of our nearby mountain, Mt Egmont. First snow of the season. Anyway, comments? What can I do to it in PS to make it 'better'? Should I crop out the tree and powerlines, or leave them?

Circuit Mont Tremblent
The haze of long-diztance photorgraphy can be reduced with a higher black level. As far as the powerlines, they're to far out of the focal activity that I wouldn't have noticed them otherwise. Yes, they're in the way, but they're so minute and out-of-the-way compared to the rest of the shot that it doesn't bother me at all.

That is one cool shot! I really like how the cars are all evenly spaced and so perfect looking. How fast was it moving?

overshopped, no sir. i think it looks damn good except for the glow around the taller buildings and the lens flare, other than that a very nice night shot.

glitching stuff using a hex editor; i really messed up some of the information so i don't know if this will even show properly or blow your computer up.

3 fps, 4.512m car length = about 80 kph on corner entrance. This is one of the less dramatic corners of an otherwise high-speed track.
Over-shopped HDR:
Not overshopped at all. This is how HDR should look. My only gripe is the little forest section on the bottom. Without it, it would just be another HDR cityscape, but it is so defined that it looks almost cropped in. I don't know how this could be fixed or avoided. That one burning light on the right is also a distraction.
antihero - seeing leaves makes me presume you're back out west after school's out?

Finally had some time to go out and do a shoot again. Thanks to my lovely friend Lavi for being such a great model

I really like the over-exposed look to some of the later shots. The vignetting contrasts and frames them nice! Good work.

skyline great work.
agreed. the replacement of sirens and traffic with the song of birds and frogs is also nice. the more i think about it the less i want to go back. i've been thinking of just dropping out of school all together and focusing on utilizing the knowledge and portfolio i have now.

Wonderful shots as usual! Just a quick question though; what lens did you use for the portrait of the driver in the orange racing suit?
- 5,987
Any advice?
The subjects are boring, and I don't think the editing can change that. Anyone like anything they see? Or not? Feedback is more helpful for me than you think; I have pretty poor self-critique capabilities.

From the last page, what is HDR and overshopping?
exigeracer, I really like the last two images you have. I just like the branches on the upper part of the tree in the second to last image. I like the last image most. I like that the image blurs as depth increases. I also think that macro shots are usually interesting because I like all of the detail that can be seen, and it also offers a different way to view an object.

Thanks for the feedback.
HDR is high definition range, a technique of photo editing that merges three of the same picture taken at different exposures into one. In short, the bright parts that underexposure gets and that overexposure doesn't are merged with the dark parts that overexposed pictures get that underexposed pictures don't. There are various programs that can do this, but you need three or more perfectly identical and bracketed pictures. You can also do this to a single photograph by playing with various levels or tonal curves, like what I've been doing.
Overshopping is just slang for over-editing a photograph in Photoshop.

My magazine which got owned in the rain. I really like this shot - it's the best macro shot I've ever taken.
I like my tripod a lot.

They look great to me moglet.
Skyline, the 2nd, 3rd, and 10-14th pics of that model are awesome. My favorite is the 3rd and 10th. I've got a thing for graffiti.
anti, i love your glitched photo. I must try that out some time. your other stuff is really cool too.
exige, your last batch of photos are interesting to me. i love the 2nd building shot and the weeping willow.
