1,4,7, and 8 were my favorites.

All of them are great shots though!

rockin'

good detail on the vernier pulleys there!

Awesome shots! All very good!....Number 8 is amazing!

Very nice shots Jeff! I do have one question though. I am not big on photoshop editing, a lot of people tend to over do it and make it look really fake. I think that you have a good medium, it still looks like a good shot without the editing, just enhanced. What sort of stuff do you use in photoshop?

Hi Robert! I first got into photography through my experiences with ps. I consider myself an editor first and a photographer second becuz as it stands i am still better at ps than i am at takin pics. Some still think i overdo my pics, but i feel that a good pic is 1/2 due to good photography and 1/2 due to good photoshop. Mostly all i do with my pics is contrast and hue/saturation. I have my own method of adding contrast which i will tell u has something to do with the high pass filter in ps, however, i dont want to say how to do it becuz i kind of see it as my style. With my other photography (non-automotive) tho, i just add curves, hue/saturation, and USM. Every pic is different and my ps on every pic differs, but those seem to be the main 3 things i use.

Nice shots!

Absolutely understandable! I do appreciate you sharing what kinds of things you use. I usually don't play around in photoshop too much anymore, because the program is great but pisses me off at the same time, lol.

Terrific shots! A little tight on some of the crops imho. I really like the cloud reflection on #8.

Jeff - how about we talk to you parents about purchasing me a big white telephoto for X-mas too!

Great shots dude, the composition of the guy sky on shot number 7 is excellent! Love that sky

Keep hitting me on aim.

Hi Jeff, First, let me say WELCOME to the forum. You have a handfull of really nice images here. I like the detail of the tuneable cam gear you show on the Honda engine. The Cobra is ALWAYS a hit, and I agree that the sky in #7 is GREAT, but the shot I really like is #8 with the reflections of the clouds all over the hood of that WRX. Nice work.
