Greetings from Estonia !

Not seeing any pictures.

[oleok]

it should be OK now.

Wow, those shots are amazing!! I was looking to do something similar with an old Ford Capri... May I just ask.. what metering system did you choose for these? And more importantly, what kind of post processing did you use? They look like magazine quality images and I have been trying to find out how to do produce these kinds of images. Any info on your techniques are well appreciated! Thank you Leok.

[Woolburr]

There you go...looks good...with the exception of number 2....has some strange pink colors showing on the body. The others are good.

A real nice set of shots there. Pretty sweet little car as well!!

Nice processing and locations.

[aridan]

Fabulous shots, but your resizing ration is off. With the exception of #2, they all have zig-zags in them.

[oleok]

how to resize correctly ? these zig-zags are bothering me too

Great shots. I love them.

[Woolburr]

What are you using as an image resizer? Do you resize in your photo editing software when you process your images or do you use an after the fact process?

If you are doing it in Photoshop or a similar editor...you can just adjust the image to be 1024 pixels on the long side (forum max) and save at whatever image quality you like if you are hosting the shots on your own website. Saved at quality 10...most 1024 x XXX images average around 150 to 200K in size...

If you are resizing your images after processing...try Prish Image Resizer. You can adjust the size to suit your needs and the quality doesn't suffer too dramatically.

You're getting shadows from the trees in 1 & 2. The light on 5 looks pretty good, but too much contrast & you've lost detail in the wheels.
what metering system did you choose for these? Try this: First set the f-stop & shutter speed you need. Then adjust the ISO.

This shows how the subject can affect the exposure & why manual keeps me worry free:

Nice shots!

Just make sure you don't get a "bird, stuck in the fan belts." ;)

oleok, I use CS2 and also always shoot RAW but I was wondering how you processed these, perhaps post a .psd file for all to see?

I love #5.

[aridan]

Seeing that you are using CS3, resize as follows:

Image --> Image Size --> make sure Constrain Proportions is checked off (selected) and adjust only either width or height. But do not adjust them independently of each other, which in turn takes your proportions out of whack, resulting in these zig zags.

[rmodys]

Those are the sort of locations I dream of having--awesome shots! I really like 1, 2, and 3.

[Vovka]

Great Shots! ;)
