QUOTE (TUN35 @ May 11 2009, 06:36 PM)  ps. If you're wanting people to blow smoke up your bum there are plenty of photo forums out there just for that. Forget the drama and focus on the good and bad points people have to offer about your IMAGES and use them to improve. It's what we are all here for  Really? Is what why I keep coming back? I thought I just fell into habits easy.. ND grads are cheap as, about the same as CPL's but you can get different grades and types, like soft and hard etc.. wiki it. HDR you can do manually as long as your camera shoots in RAW, just shoot at the proper metered exposure THEN expose TWO STOPS (shutter speed) OVER that, then TWO STOPS under that. Done. For a hard scene just expose more with less stops, e.g. 5 frames with 1 stop difference. No need for camera set-up! |

QUOTE (Lance @ May 11 2009, 09:43 PM) My ND filter cost $44, its a cokin P series but you need to get the holder and all the bits, roughly $70 for the setup without any filters. I have the p series too.. But pretty sure it was cheaper than that?? I forgot the price since i got it few months back.. But yea great filters I love it |

QUOTE (Nick_ @ May 12 2009, 08:12 PM) Hmmmm what you need is a quick tut on HDR's. Open those 3 raws in the HDR util, personally I have 1 raw in which I run off 3 TIFF's, i add a little contrast to the base if i want prior. 3 tiffs are then merged to HDR in Adobe Brige. Once I am happy that the display has no extreme blow outs i click ok and then the fun begins. Go Image > Mode > 8 bit, this converts the 32bit HDR to 8bit. Click Method: and chose Local Adaptation, now use the curve to make your HDR how you like it. Easier than Photomatix eh? But it produces a different looking HDR also. cheers buddy..  will give it a shot with a few shots i took of a mates car last night... they had afew blowouts so hopefully doing the hdr method will fix it up... QUOTE (Nick_ @ May 12 2009, 09:00 PM) Hmm so many posts so little input. very much so.. hahahaha QUOTE (caseyjohnphotography @ May 12 2009, 09:31 PM) haha just looked through this thread so much bullshit  just a little..

You could just do layer masking for that instead of HDR if you don't want to go the full HDR look. |

QUOTE (Lance @ May 19 2009, 09:07 AM) Shot nine. Need to show the whole car, and that would have been a excellent shot I think mmmmm it was just to cut out the building that was on the left.. unfortunately the spit is not the best location for photos.. not with all the trees and such in the way.. i done a full shot, but not as close.. but yeh i know what ya mean..

QUOTE (Nick_ @ May 20 2009, 09:14 PM) Agreed with Lance, 9 has the potential but I also see what your saying so my idea is.. move the car, thats the whole point of cars right? they move and shit?  cutting off cars in frame sucks 99% of the time, it's like the dutch tilt. hehehe lol smart ass.. tru tru.. i see where ur going with this.. will be doing a shoot with cory, so will pick a better location rather than a ramp at the spit.. lol... on another note... ta da   thoughts??  this was my fav on the day... went to coottha planetarium again.. and mucked about.. but i quite liked this shot.. and this little guy was cute...
