Well, I'm a bit dissapointed. The lighting was awful, out of 50+ pics these are the only ones that turned out decent. I'm sure you guys are bored of seeing my pics by now, but I thought i'd share anyway :D

Edit: New pics are up, tinkered a bit more in photoshop (1:22am Saturday)
(original effect pics can be viewed here http://www.cleoent.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=114)

Much better IMO.

they aren't too bad. not really digging the filter tho. so which one did the donuts around the light post? :D

juikster

nice quiet erie low ilumination effect ,low light yellows do the pics justice...

djgiron

I kind of like the sepia tones. Nice photos, what camera are you using?

bedrock83

Is that the oakridge parking lot?

cleoent

No filter was used.

pics were taken with a nikon d70. The color (white balance) of the photo's is the best i could do with the lighting i had to work with. Very yellow/orangey lighting up there and not a lot of it.

The pics were taken on the roof of the oakridge parking lot :D

I don't think those are THAT bad. Looks kinda cool in some ways ^^

EZZY

love the effect :D

cleoent

got rid of the effect sorry fellas

Put up some more. Wife was bugging me to watcha movie with her () so i didn't get to tinker much, now with more time i got more of the effect i was going for...

Great pictures, big difference in looks if you ask me. Still like the S2000 but the RX8 is so damn sexy! :D

I am looking to upgrade my Fuji s7000 digicam, but I am still not sure I want to go dSLR, maybe the new s9000 from Fuji will make me happy, we will see.

Whitehot

I think those still look pretty cool in the untouched form.

I like them both too, but the newer ones are more along the lines of an actual representation of the cars colors

poolsidenaz

Great pics! I love the look of both cars. I hear people say how the 8 is the miata's big brother. I think the S2000 and 8 have much more in common tho and your pics are a joy to view. Thank you! :D

brothervoodoo

I like them..

Moostafa29

Nice pictures

dazygirl415

Very nice. :D

Flawless

nice pictures... i took some pics of my 8 w/ an s2000 a while back and they came out pretty good. my 1 question is did you guys make those marks all over the parking lot there?

cleoent

Nope, in fact i was kicking myself in the *** for picking the one light that had that crap all over it

KYLiquid

love the pics, esp the 3rd one down with the s2k and the donuts

cleoent

thanks, that was the idea, I wanted to try and follow the curve...

Glyphon

great pictures, and i actually really like the coloring in the pictures...especially the ones where you can see the neon signs in color in the background, but since it doesn't seem you wanted this effect, you didn't have your camera white balanced correctly. next time, manually white balance the camera in the light you are going to be shooting in with a piece of blank white printer paper. just make sure that the paper is mostly shadow free and fills the whole viewfinder. and if the lighting changes, white balance again.

cleoent

Close :p

I shot in RAW which allows me to set my white balance after the fact. I wasn't able to find a white balance that was able to neutralize the yellow lighting. Unfortunately the only remedy is to tinker in PS (which is what i did) or go and shoot under white lights. I wasn't able to find any white lights so i just did the best i could with the really bad orange/yellow lighting i had...

Btw- the pics posted now are the corrected ones (to me anyway), the older yellow ones are in the link provided.
