^ Alchemy, your shots always come out with such vibrant color. Im not sure if im doing something wrong with my cam/software. Or if your just using a better camera than I.

Great job though :tup:

Nice pict alchemy! :tup: CPL and a touch of saturation on the software ? :)

Thanks Nitex. Like I have stated, Im no pro. A lot of trial and error goes into a lot of my shots, though both of the ones I just posted were the first and only shots I took of those subjects :) Both shots are very mildly edited. My pc has been down forever so my edits come via gf's pc, in Picasa, which is VERY limited to say the least. It really is time to splurge on that new power charger for my HP.

I actually had a CPL and NEVER shot w it until recently seeing people talking bout it on here, now I have been trying it out. Excited to try car shots midday! Yes just a touch of saturation, thats basically all Picasa can do lol.

Cool! Those yo JDM picts on the other thread by that blogger is definitely using CPL. :)

^ i need to get a CPL! Best buy tried to sell me some rocketfish stuff. I politely told him that id do some research first.

I use the B+W one. Its goooooood... their special coating is a dust magnet though for the first couple of times cleaning it.

Picture from a wedding I did back at the beginning of July.
