Shots from a Car Shoot

Bynx · Sep 16, 2012

A lot of nice cars yet to be processed.

Oh wow, I really like the 3rd pictures. I wish the lights bouncing off the hood of the middle car werent there, but that looks like it would be really hard to get rid of. You couldnt tell the driver of the random car beside the building to move their car, because you were going to show Parker and the rest of the TPF this picture? haha

Nice shots though!

OK, I just absolutely can not resist.... Bynx, the 3rd shot looks a little over cooked

All kidding aside, nice work man

Youre right about cloning out that car. Unfortunately its a car lot beside the burger joint. The first 2 cars I used a tripod to do the HDR shots. For the third shot I was sitting on top of a ladder and hand held the HDR shots. Its not the most exciting selection of old cars, but they were the ones that rushed up to get their photo taken. Deloreans, Vettes, and some really old ones were around the side parked in the field.

Beautiful. I like the subtlety of this one. Just beautiful.

Nice...right down to the treads.

I like how the interior lighting worked out in the store.

I really like the 3rd one , but i like all the lights that bounce off the car I think everyone's looking for that perfect shot some real life to the shot makes it better for me

A time machine shot, the third one. Very nice!

Bynx · Sep 17, 2012

Here are a couple more.

The first shot is kinda' flat; does nothing for me.

I like the second shot.

The third shot looks like it's leaning, ever so slightly, to the left.

I like the exterior shot in the second posting. In the second shot of that same post, the window at the very back is blown out...

It wasnt supposed to.

I like the second shot.

Hmm, I must be doing something wrong.

The third shot looks like it's leaning, ever so slightly, to the left.

Then lean a bit to the right, straighten up and look again.

I like the exterior shot in the second posting.

Nuts. I screwed up again.

Thats not blown out. Its some kind of translucent covering over the glass.

You know, it's kinda' funny. When someone posts an HDR photo that you have issues with, you tear it to shreds and suggest that they learn how to take decent photos before attemnpting HDR. Well, perhaps you should learn to use a "quote" function before you actually attempt to post.

Now, on to your comments:

First, your window is blown out. Make all the excuses you want. It's blown out and looks like crap. The rest of the image is pretty good, but that one blown out portion ruins an otherwise really nice image. That's the type of image which would compel you to run off the rails with criticism for someone who's just trying to learn. That part of the image is blown out. Everyone, including you, knows it. Accept it and move on, Bymx, it's not that big a deal.

You have a long history of slamming people for "overcooked" images, yet you post exactly that. Could you explain why it's okay for you, but no one else?

And you can make all the snide comments you want ("I must be doing somewthing wrong"), but the reality is that your self-proclaimed reign as HDR King is over. Others here do a far finer job than you, and far more consistently, and you can't accept that you're not the best.

Your images are fine, Bynx. Some are crooked and blown out, regardless of your excuses, but they're decent. Apparently, though, you have problems accepting criticism and compliments. I assure you, I won't burden you with further compliments regarding your work.

So, yeah, they're fine. Except for the one that's got the "translucent covering".

Hehehehe... I'll have to use that one sometime...

The second post with the cars out front looks pretty cool. I REALLY like the way the cars look in that picture. The sky though, looks a little......hokey. Just nit picking as you would do to others. ha

Bynx · Sep 17, 2012

Hokey sky or not, thats the way it looked. It was a really great evening for shooting with clear sky in the west and those ominous clouds in the south. I should have done some deghosting on the clouds though and will fix that. I notice some slight repititious movement during the shots.

I dont mind cutting my pics up at all. I wouldnt want it any other way. I do take exception when you do it because you havent got a clue. And when a guy like you says a window is blown when its not and then argues about it after its explained why it looks like it does, then I take exception to that. Here is the darkest image showing the same white covering on that window.
