i completely agree with you actually, and im aware of some of the imiperfections you're talking about. the oversharpening was actually not done by me. i didnt sharpen the photographs at all it was just one of the things that happened when the pics were resized while hosting them. i actually wanted to pan the images but i had no one with me and it would've been rpetty difficult to pan while driving the car haha. the incomplete chop on the first one where the pavment is still and the background was blurred was actually the imcomplete image. the final is blurred and looks a lot more realistic, i just accidently posted the image where i hadnt blurred it yet. the one of the whole car with the fake lense flare was just a quick lets see how this looks pic that was actually not submitted in my final project. actually large amount of the original photograph remains in just about all of the images because the first 2 pics backgrounds were not touched in photoshop, and the images of the car were hardly touched at all also. aside from the radial blur on the wheels and the blurred ground, it's all original. the non motion shots were nearly untouched and using a polarizing filter. a few saturation and color balance changes were made but aside from that they honestly arent very tampered with. i appreciate your criticism tho really, i actually do have some good real panning shots from the semester that i'll see if i can find, and like i said, i wanted to do that for these pics but i couldnt find anyonoe to drive the car so it was not an option for me.

thanks though and i'll post some other pics fromthe semester. and thanks to everyone else for the positive feedback! let me know if you have any questions or comments!

 

here's a few other picture taken throughout the semester, some for fun some were turned in, some were just experiments to test new techniques and stuff, there were a few that i really like that i couldnt find, but i guess u be the judge on whether they're good or not. keep in mind until late may, i've never been in a photography class so im in no way a pro

 

few more:

this one was an abstract pic that i really dont like but my teacher did...

 

Never make excuses for your photos before posting them.. It cheapens them.. Let the viewer decide for themselves.. Have some confidence in your photos man!

Number the pictures if you want feedback on them.. it helps viewers identify which picture they are looking at.

I agree with you on the rotor shot.. It would have ended up in my oh well try again pile.. mostly because it looks like the camera moved slightly and blurred the shot.. The colors are pleasing though

My fav shot is the one you took in your car with the long shutter and traffic lights going by you.. very nicely done.. I actually bought a mount for my harness bar and was going to do the same thing one of these days...

 

lovely ... 2 thumbs up !!

 

what camera are you using and lens?

 

im using a Nikon D40 with the standard nikon lens that comes with the d40. the day shots did have a polorizing filter also

 

excellent photos, you've got talent!

 

Pics look great. I wish I had those skilz,lol
