i really like how you did the last 2 picture. the last one is the favorite though colors and composition works really well in the shot. what program did you use to make this?

hey em2, thanks for the comments. appreciate them alot. yeah the orange caddy is my fav by far out of all of them. i dont know if you checked out the website but there is a shot of the engine of the caddy and its prettty sweet as well.

but i use lightroom for all of my post processing, and it was a preset that I had made to replicate a hdr image tonemapped. I had searched and never found one that I liked well enough to use, so I just decided to make my own.

Great...I usually hate HDR pics but these are on point.

thanks tristate for the kind words. its kind of different from your normal hdr look but still has that tonemapped look. stay posted for more blog entries on our website. we have a couple more coming

so you made this from just one exposure? If so could you be kind enough to share what presets you have to make this? I really love this.

the engine shot is pure gold haha! as much as i love my civic i am a sucker for hot rods. my 1st car was a 69 dodge dart that i restored my self to a working condition and swapped the motor!

hey em2 ,
lol i had a feeling someone might ask that. i would love to share some of my presets with you, but i think I am going to have to keep them to myself for right now. I did a lot of research on this one to get it to look the way i wanted it to. send me a pm and i can give you some tips.
