Cool Latest Photoshoot - Velocity Red in the Sun
Had the help of a friend, took some nice shots. Later did some sharpening. Taken with the Canon Rebel XT. Paint is Zaino'd. Lemme know what you think.













Probably my favorite shot:

Beautiful shots!! (the only thing i can think of to get better shots would be to shine up the tires)

I probably could of wiped down the black trims and the tires...but I was at school. I'd also like to get my brake calipers painted asap.

Really great shots. +1 on the tires and black trim needing a little love, but the great compositions make up for it.

The pics we touched up one really brought out the dirt and gave a grungy kinda of look, instead of ordinary shading. All the shots that came out of the camera at first didn't accentuate the dirt as much. For example, this one wasn't edited: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/179/4...c01edcbc_b.jpg

Another comparison, untouched:

Touched:

yea.. i think some of the out of the camera pics look a lot better.. i think you either increased brightness too much.. or you tweaked with the shadow and highlights.. all in all great pics ^ ^

I love that first picture, I did some minor editing and made it into a wallpaper I am using, anyone else want it?


damn this thumbnail makes the image look bad, but I dont want to stretch the screen out, fullview, it looks MUCH better
