Car photo edits C&C Please.

Bombers · Jul 10, 2010

This one makes for a great background on my computer I just wish there was a way to get rid of the white glow above the car? Anyone any help?

Same car and picture different edit.

Having fun with this picture.

This one is out of focus on the outside to try and block out some of the background from being so visible.

So what do you guys think? I am an amateur so please take it easy

Are you Ziggy Foto? Are you the copyright owner of the last one?

Bombers · Jul 10, 2010

Umm no? Ziggy is my real name lol so I used that wasn't aware some had the name copyrighted. Guess I might as well think of a new name while i'm at it lol.

There's a Foto Ziggy I couldn't find a Ziggy Foto. Depends on if he actually went through a process of trying to copyright his name or not....if you are serious about it go through uspto.gov and get it done

You can't copyright a name, only trademark it.

You also aren't allowed to post photos you don't own the copyright to, but it's ok to link to them.

See the forum Rules and Regs in the FAQ's tab there on the right of the forum sections list page.

I like the tones. 2 and 3 are my favorites. 1 looks like a cool background like you said but the post processing is too much that makes it look fake / video game like. The crop on 3 is a little too tight because the car's spoiler is too close to the outside.

Well, idk..I gave it a try...

That looks better I would have tried something sooner or later because it was starting to bug me.

I think in 3 thats how I took the picture I cropped out the grass from the top and bottom of it. There is nothing I can do about centering it more

Atleast that I know of.

I have a different post in General Gallery also with a lot more car shots in there. Give those a look as well. All you're C&C has been great I"m not easily offended so everyone else who's lurking around speak your mind's and let me know what you think. Like I said I am just starting out and getting serious with photography. I've been shooting all these with a Nikon D80 and and ordering some more gadgets to go along with it.

Maybe in a year or so when I actually get better i'll be looking for a Canon.
