Hey,

Shot this the other day. I know it's a little bland but I blame that on the overcast day. Exposure was a little difficult for me because of the high contrast between the body and wheel color. I usually don't like shots of cars in parking lots but this one is ok. Feedback please!

Thanks for looking.
Adam

Hey adam, any chance you could post a link to a full sized version of this? This is a perfect cadidate for something i'm trying in my post processing technique.
If it's RAW even better.

If you like the final result, i'll tell you how i did it.

Yes, please PM me your e-mail adress.

They are pretty fun cars. I was suprized how fun even after driving a Lotus Elise. It's a whole different animal for for 1/10 the price of the Lotus, nothing else comes close.

Nice shot. Enjoy your car, I would not get rid of mine for the world! If you are interested, check out my gallery for a few pics of my Miata.

Here's the shot i modified. I got impatient :) It has a lot of jpg artifacts because it was reworked in it's small form. But this is a fantastic test image for lighting and blowout/details work. If you want to know how i reworked it, PM me and i'll be happy to walk through the steps.

Nice! I used to have a 1994 white Miata. I miss that car, such a blast to drive. Too bad they carry such a bad image. People used to really tease me about driving that car.

Thanks everybody.

Yes, military. There are a few good roads around here but the best ones I've driven are in Hakone. Very beautiful over there also. It would be worth the drive from Tokyo too.
