Shots from a Car Shoot

Steve5D · Sep 17, 2012

Sorry, Bynx, but you're excuses don't fly.

Are you talking about the banner that says "Road Legends" on it? Because I saw that, and that's not what I'm referring to. I'm talking about the portion right below that banner. That's not "translucent", that's "blown out". There's nothing there.

You and I have had our run ins in the past, and it should be pretty clear that the genesis of those problems is you, as evidenced by the fact that you're incapable of even accepting a simple compliment, nor can you handle criticism. Your third image is crooked. That's not an opinion, that's a fact.

You would do well to study the work of others in this forum, as your work can definitely use improvement. And, before you start suggesting that mine is work to be dismissed, allow me to remind you that I see HDR as a gimmicky goof, while you obviously see it as the end-all of photography.

So, what other excuses do you have to try to lamely explain away faults in your images?

By the way, here's your original crooked image:

And here's the edit. The correction is slight, but noticeable to someone who knows what he's looking at:

In the last shot there seems to be blue under the car and in the wheel wells and noise , I am having a hard time understanding how to get rid of that in my own photos and I dont understand if I am not taking enough shots or if I am doing something else wrong , maybe someone can explain whats going on . They are all nice shots and I am not ripping them apart I am asking for my own shots Bynx they are fine shots really love the Ford they did a nice job simple and to the point

I see you practiced your smile for us! :lol:

I dont know how to fix the last shot either. I dont like it as is with that dirty grungy look. I have to experiment with more or less files. One thing I noticed when I got home was the difference in color between the roof and the body of the Cadi. Gray and blue?? Whats with that? Wow looking at the other pics I see the top is supposed to be white!!! Back to the drawing board. Okay I redid it. I used less of the dark exposures. Also with the Cadi you are looking north at a bland white sky. At the same time the view of the diner is looking south with that wild looking sky.

Thanks for the input so I gather less of the dark exposures should fix my issue I will try it later . Also on car shoots for hdr should there be any shadows at all under the car , not talking about bynx's shots here just in general like in the wheel well should that part be exposed to see it or is ok to have a shadow in there so you can not see it , let me know if you dont understand what i am asking

Bynx · Sep 17, 2012

I think there should be as much of a shadow as you want to show. Nothing much under there, but if there are parts showing they should show and not be lost in shadow. Also there should be a difference between the tire and the pavement.
