Some of my shots.

[Subyn00by]

So I'm a very amateur photographer. I've been shooting for almost a year, and have only recently began to experiment with angles, lighting, exposure, etc.

Let me know what you guys think!

I'm really into shooting cars, and since I hang around with a bunch of people with Subaru's, that's usually what I'm shooting.

Any comments, critiques, helps, & death threats are more than welcome!

Pictures doesn't seem to be loading for me

[Subyn00by]

they might load slow, my freakin web server has been having problems lately, might have to change to something else.

[DVS_WiNdz]

It was done loading before and nothing showed up.

[Subyn00by]

try reloading maybe, other than that, I dunno, anyone else having problems?

[BeccaJ]

and experimenting with a little HDR? lol

dont so much like the blown out scenery of the corvette shot, but i do like the last 2, especially the last one.

[DVS_WiNdz]

Okay they work now. It loaded in a second. Great shots. I like the shots with the STi

hehe, I started playing with HDR a little, pretty fun, but I prefer straight shots.

As for the corvette, my camera was having a real hard time focusing and metering on the black of the corvette, the original picture actually looked a lot worse than that, but once again, photoshop helped me salvage what I could of it...

that's actually my girlfriends STi, I have a stock grey one, wonderful cars.

Wow.. your girlfriend drives a STi? I rarely see any girls driving STi's, Evo's etc.

you know, i had that same problem shooting a mustang that was black and white at the road course recently..

yeh, i got her into it, and she's kinda ran with it. Now her car looks better and is faster than mine. She's planning on going beyond autox this year and doing some track events. We live about 10 minutes from laguna seca, so that's what she's set her eyes on.

Yeh, to be honest, I think it was a combo of 3 things, one I'm pretty amateur, and this was an early shot for me, two I think my hand was over the light sensor, and 3, i was shooting in auto mode if I remember correctly, I think setting some settings would've helped it out.

[BIGTUFFGUY]

i guess you saved the best for last.
the first one is nice, the second is HDR overkill.
the others are ok.

I want to see more from you.

Hehe, Yeah, some of my friends were really into the overkill HDR, so I did a few shoots on their cars.

The last one is probably my latest attempt. Too bad that damn place is guarded by 24/7 security, so I have to drive up, get out, take pics before they say something stupid or get in front of the car, then leave before they take down the license plate of the car I'm in and/or call the cops.

I've got more, just none here at work. I'll post some more later.

[PhotosGuy]

I like the last two.
Seen this?

[Subyn00by]

not yet, but that's why I'm here, to learn and start raising my own personal bar...

[BIGTUFFGUY]

i can see why they like it. it looks like its a demon from another world.
too bad that place is so highly guarded. If you could get other "poses" it would be sweet.

what HDR technique did you use for the first image?

[Subyn00by]

just auto exposure bracketing, then HDR'd using photomatix. Nothing tricky.

[Subie J]

Nice pics. I've seen a few on them posted over on I-club.

[Subyn00by]

haha, wussup, and what's your name on i-club?

[ajbalazic]

Love the last shot. Great location, well composed, and nice use of night lighting.

[Subie J]

Same as here. (Subie do) I just dont post that much on I-club any more. Not as many NorthWest peeps.

cool cool, I must say this is a pretty cool place. I'm getting sooooo many ideas!

Thank you kind sir.

It's actually the location with the great lighting, there is a flor. light every like 2 feet about 20 feet in the air, and they go from the doors to about 50 feet behind me...such a great location. freakin security.
