Few Hot Rods from today.

Was a last minute deal before the show got too crowded. Apparently I still had the camera set for JPG which kind of killed it. Sun was less than ideal and the 14-24 you can't put a polarizer on. I think they turned out OK considering.

#1 is def my favorite of the 2.

1.

2.

I think the 2nd one gets lost a little in the background but I'm not entirely sure how to fix it.

Nice subjects and posed beautifully

BlueMeanieTSi · May 30, 2012

Thanks! So here are a few examples of doing HDR your way haha

Both are nice, but #1 is outstanding. Only the watermark interferes.

BlueMeanieTSi · May 30, 2012

Yeah I've had to put watermarks such as that because I found my images on business pages that said "all material copyright -page owner-" I apologize for it just protecting my images

Very nice! Specs on shots? Which HDR program? Settings?

although #1 is a bit overdone for me I still like it a lot. that angle makes the car look a bit out of proportion and almost cartoony a bit. and it works for the image.

I like the cloud reflection on the first one.

Well done on all of them

These are both very nice IMO. The colors of these 2 hot rods make a nice contrast between them and nature's sky/tar road.
I'm not real keen on the crop/framing in the first one - kind of would like to see less space behind (or maybe more in front instead of behind) the hot rod but that's just me.
