car photos for yearbook

[AF44]

her is the first of 5 different cars i will be featuring in our high school yearbook. i will post a few different shots of each and you can tell me which ones you like. there will be more to come. enjoy!


1. a little overdone photoshop job

2. a touch of motion blur and a slight rotation and crop

I like the first, but it could waiver depending on your goal for the photos.

 

[Applefanboy]

I like the first, but it seams a bit underexposed.

 

[AF44]

i did purposefully darken the first one for dramatic effect

 

[elemental]

I think I would boost the exposure a touch then go with #1. Both nice shots though.

theres seems to be a bit of ghosting on the car... around the edges. intentional?

 

[AF44]

that ghosting is a result of my little photoshop motion blur touch up, unintentional but a pain in the ass to go back and take out so im just gonna leave it as is.

 

[Nein-reis]

I'm not feeling either. They both seem to be a bit on the soft side and the photoshop blur looks bad.

The lighter one will print 'better' - be sure to change to CYMK color space to evaluate the blues in particular.

HDR...*cough*

 

[pabloec20]

i think i would choose a non darkened 1

 

[AF44]

i lightened up #1 in iphoto and it looks better, i will post it when i get home

 

[Naicidrac]

Cool pics, but I agree that #1 is a nice shot, but too dark. You can always layermask to get rid of that ghosting around the car. Or make a selection, or etc.....there are a hundred ways to get rid of that ghosting in photoshop.

 

[AF44]

well everyone's insisting on me going back and brightening up #1 led to something good. i kept trying to lighten up the picture in iPhoto by using the brightness adjustment but it kept enhancing distracting stuff in the photo, so i tried the exposure adjustment, and it work great!

enjoy and thanks for the help!
