******* this.

If that is seriously handheld the military needs you.

Yea, no ****. I am pretty sure he stopped his heartbeat for that one. :tup:

Beautiful shots...

interesting thread, a learner here as well :)

LOL... he feigned death for 3 seconds, then resurrected to snap the pic.

Much better.

I hope you don't mind. I was playing around with your pic's.

^ that looks EVEN better! What/how did you do?

All done in Photoshop. The older one rendered the background better so I used that with the newer one which rendered the car better. Applied a slight lens blur to the background & soft light to darken it a bit. Also adjusted the levels and curves. For the car I air brushed a soft light layer to the underexposed/overexposed areas. The wheels/tires were a bit overexposed and the body was a bit underexposed. I also cleaned up the artifact on the asphalt with the clone tool and adjusted the brightness/contrast.

G2Z- yep, much better! :tup:


:iagree: ... *kenchan hides under desk*...

(off topic, and thus spoiler'd)

holy moly CMike.... I think the only part I understood there was the levels and curves which I have done in NX2. I think EasyHDR has that too. I should utilize that as well. Thank you for all the work on that. I might have to send you the hi rez version so you can tweak and resend back to me :)

G2Z : I didn't rest it on anything but my hand, but then i can only feel my hands after 3 days:bowrofl::roflpuke2: thanks for the complement:tiphat:

Red_Zed : nahh im not interested, i'd better off be a lone sniper :happydance: LOL

BeachZTT : HAHA LOL i am feigning death when i did that shot :bowrofl: thanks btw:tiphat:

Phelan : that's a good one bro! LOL:bowrofl::roflpuke2:

:tup: anytime.

lol. It's really not that much work. A breeze once you learn how to work with layers. I use Adobe Photoshop a lot for work, so it gets easier once you get comfortable with what everything does. There's a ton of stuff you can do with Photoshop. I've been using it for over a decade and even now, still learn something new. Even though its an extremely expensive program, its worth every penny to use and learn IMO.

I use Photoshop when I'm building graphics from the ground up, and LR3 for actual photo processing...not that I'm any good with either, but LR3 seems like a more thought out package than PS.

PS, to me, is like taking a sledgehammer to put in a nail. It works...but damn.

me no likely your comment phe-phe :roflpuke2:
