It was a filter

for two weeks. I think it was something odd, and not a standard photoshop thing.

Stackhouse: I like the three on the left the best; I'd say my favorite is the far left, then the one next to it, then the one after that. I'd love to learn what the filters were.

The third is a combination that I cannot exactly reproduce, owing to extreme experimentation at the time. But, it seems to be a combination of Auto Levels, Motion Blur (to widen the seams without darkening them), Smudge Stick (to accentuate the colors), and Sprayed Strokes to make it a bit drippy. These are all standard Photoshop.

Photo data?
Great photos, guys!!
Especially, Nick, dmp, and Whitehot. I admire your aesthetic talent, but can you tell me the shooting data, like exposures, shutter speeds, and what kind of camera? Of course, I know it depends on the lighting conditions, etc.

Mr. Simple - very lovely shots. I love the first 2 especially. And I agree with Kochan - you all have an excellent eye for beautiful shots. I am simply in awe. Really - I'd buy a calendar with shots like these in a freakin heartbeat.

Hmmmm, my shots came off a cheap 2mp kodak digital camera. On the "auto" setting. I can take tons of pictures and just pick out the good ones. One of these days I will get a better camera.

They turned out fine after adjusting them in Photoshop, but next time I'd probably go with -1.0 instead. I usually shoot -1.0 on my Pentax as well. Some shots I took with that camera are at https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=47661 and all were on -1.0 exposure.

Your Photoshop technique is great. The "ZIPPORX Himself...." photo looks nice. It is too small to tell how nice, but the backdrop looks like a studio shot.

BTW, if anyone is interested, I can get into the Ford/Mazda Media site where they have about 40 or so pro RX shots -- usually too large to post but I can optimize them. Lots of colors.
