Thanks. I thought I was the only one liked the 112 shot

And I'm happy with how the sigma 150-500 performs. I was expecting worse to be honest.

Great shots!Does the 150-500 have an optical stabilizer?

mar1u5 · Sep 28, 2009

Thanks. Yes, it's an "OS" lens. Works pretty well. Makes a horrible noise, but works

This shot started out as a project to do some fake IR, but it failed hard.

And seeing as I already was in a "coloring mood"....

Thanks. I set out to try and make the first picture look as if it was shot using an IR filter/IR camera, but that failed.

The M3 shots are beautiful! I love the E30. Best looking car BMW made, in my humble opinion.

I love some of your hdrs, but by far the first image of the thread is my favorite.

Mar1u5 do a lot of your automotive images have HDR treatment?

mar1u5 · Sep 30, 2009

Than you all for the nice comments. It helps with the motivation to do more when the work is beeing appriciated:hug::

As far as HDR goes, none of the images are pure HDR's. A few of them have small parts that are HDR, but that's about it. The picture I think has the most HDR inn it is this picture of my old audi, where the building to the right started out as an HDR and then got editing along with the rest of the image:

The reason for some pictures containing HDR is that I've hoped that I could have saved myself a lot of time by making the whole image HDR and then just done simple adjustments later on to create the final image. But it always fails, so I end up 99% of the time not bother with HDR at all because the few times I do there's barely any HDR left when I'm done.

what you would recommend for an intermediate photographer to do to get better in photoshop?

First step is to learn photoshop and what it does. A lof of people get photoshop and jump on these "7 steps to some-random-effect" guides without actually knowing how to use the program propperly.
