Congrats on the new car! I love STi's and these shots =]

[RCoulter]

Nice! I love my OBP STI even though the paint is sh.t.

Nice pics!

[sh0ebox]

wow, i <3 STis --- although i do prefer the 2005 models a little better than the newer ones

STILL... gorgeous photos, and i love the PP... what did you do?

[kaitanium]

dang dude. thats sweet! what did you use to do the blur/dreamy effect? i havent mastered that yet

[poah]

the composition of the firston is good but don't the flake blur or vignetting

don't like the fake blur or the stupid angle on the second one.

[nactos]

thanks gents. Kaitanium : I used Gaussian blur and black color mask with feather and fade for that vignetting effect... and Poah : LOL... I get that alot, about 50% of the people I've talked to don't like that either. But I like that dirty spy like feel...top gear got me hooked on it.

[poah]

topgear way over ues the effect and it bores me watching it. I'm all for a bit of vignetting or blur when it works but it does not work on your colour of car.

Love the car.....black is awesome on STI's. Great pictures too

I love these pictures, I think the effect fits perfect!

[Daz85]

I think they are excellent shots!

Is there any tutorials on creating that vignetting effect?

[poah]

photoshop has a filter for removing vignetting so if you turn the slider the other way you create it. PT lens also does it and you can do it in adobe raw converter too.

[tekkie]

the pics are awesome, I love how they do it on topgear

[nactos]

:) thanks....
that's what so funny bout that vignetting... you either hate it or love it.... never in the middle.

im not a big fan of vignetting either but in this case, it works. i think it just might be the composition and color that makes an exception for me this time.

nice car and really cool looking pics ;)

[STifanboy]

STi ftw i've loved these cars forever. nice shots dude they look great

[peanuthead]

Nice ride and nice pics! I think the vignetting works on the first pic, but not so much on the second. Nice pics nonetheless!

[PhotosGuy]

Good start. Keep at it!

[nactos]
