ok, the shots are nice but they don't make the car stand out (i am only saying this sinc eit seems that you are doing the same thing on all shots)

you need to do color correction, crops, and level the picture (horizons are crooked and makes you kinda tilt sideways to appreciate the shot)

not a big fan of adding captions as you did on the first one.

they look sloppy, as if you were rushing the pictures out.
remember, people usually look ONCE at your pictures...and that's the only chance to blow them away!

with your permission i'll edit the same shots and you'll see the difference.

how r u editing pictures?
Photoshop?
PaintShop Pro?
LightTRoom?
Windows Paint? (j/k m8)

all in all, the "angles" are awesome, and you were the one who setup that shoot, i love how you got the RX7's to get up there, i would've never EVER even attempted to hint to someone to get their cars there....lmao

Agreed with everyone - had a blast, glad I came out and great to meet all of you guys.

First time out with my camera (best camera before this was my iPhone) but I managed to get a couple good pics. No photoshopping, just straight from my camera (resized) and to you... Check out the gallery here:

Couple of my faves:















If you want full sizes of any - just PM mt.

im using photoshop to edit

i was really pissed that the first pic that i edited came out tilted and i was trying to figure out how to tilt it the other way

the other pics are exactly what you said, i did not spend alot of time shopping them...it was pretty quick...just did some messing with the curves and some cropping...thats about it

oh and i think it would be better that we keep the "boring" photography talk to PM...i dont think that the rest of the guys want to see that in the thread lolol

lolol out of those 540 pics i took you guys will only see i think about 20-30 of them

most of the pics are just the exact same picture but with several different settings on each picture...then they will be merged into one picture

thats why im not spending alot of time photoshopping every single pic...for the individual ones im doing just a little bit of basic editting to liven up the picture

on the group shots im going to be doing alot more work

VJ that last pic you posted looks really cool, when I first scrolled down for a second I thought it was 2 separate pics, lol

If somehow you can lower the contrast only for Simons car it would be perfect, it seems a bit too bright.

Pics look great guys!

VJ - You should just host em all at Picasa then Photoshop / Post the cleaned up ones here. Who knows, maybe you have some gems in there. =)

Great pics from everyone so far.

Thanks Andrew. I won't make it to EPIC cause I'm actually getting married that day. =) Then off to Thailand for a few weeks. We should meet up in the meantime though, I owe you a call.
