Again, nice photos. Are you doing all of the photography yourself?

Thumbs up

When we meet up at ZDayZ, please do me a favor and show me how you take these photos. (Hopefully my '04 Canon Rebel digital SLR can handle it.)

Outstanding photos!

brian - just bracket your photos. then take them into photoshop and go under 'automate' and select 'merge to HDR...'. you can play around with the curves/color balance, etc. for the photos first. but that's the basic idea.

a killer lens doesn't hurt, either....

I don't dabble into photography at all... my only skill is photochopping stuff lol just like blueper4mancez said! That and I own two REALLY nice lens for clarity. Other than that I SUCK at photography. I do not have an artistic eye at all.

Now I would normally say an expensive lens makes it better! But this shot is with a $65 50mm Canon lens! but the 50mm is one of the SHARPEST lens out there for a canon camera.



but I roll with a Canon 70-200mm IS f/4 lens also.



and Phreakdout you and I use the same camera Canon Rebel XT nothing special. Lens can make a camera! I am craving a Mark II though. If I ever got the cash for it...

But Shawn that nikon d80 will take some ULTRA clear shots with that lens also. If you shoot in RAW instead of JPEG you can adjust it in photoshop REALLY easy. Adjust stops etc. It saves your butt with lighting etc.

and if you wanna goof with some HDR Photomatrix is AWESOME

CS4 + photomatrix is awesome with car photography!

all free of course

amsyed84-

Good meeting you today even if it was brief, and those wheels look good while in motion.... not really any tonka truck action like you had mentioned.

I'm sure I'll see you soon at one of these meets or drives that'll get setup once the summer comes up.

Yea it was good seeing you too, your car was looking extra clean even i noticed it when i took that turn lol. What i was saying after i left was that i don't think ill be at any track events because my rear tires don't have much tread, i lost to a neon the other day cause i couldn't catch grip and as soon as i did he pretend like the race was over lol.

ZMinus1, I assume this was you I saw on Cass this afternoon? Nice ride my friend! I took the day off and went out for a tan. Only I got burnt. LOL. Time to break out the suntan lotion.

Anyway, sharp ride, I figured it HAD to be yours.

i'll be cruising woodward in a few (probably 7-ish), with the top down. i cruise mainly between 15 mile and 11 mile.

edit: saw a black 370z (aaron?) near birmingham, and a silver 350 ~11 mile. tried to turn around to catch it, but it must've turned off somewhere.

had some cat-n-mouse fun with a couple rx8's and a mustang (?). heh heh.
