Hello all! This will be my first transportation post, but I do encourage constructive criticism! These were all taken with my 24-70L with a CPL attached to minimize reflection/glare. I ask that you be critical about:

- composition/framing
- too much PP?
- I'm new to this so any other tips/criticisms?

1. I noticed that Suzallo (the building behind the Porsche) was maybe a bit to distracting so I tried blurring it out. I also messed around with the contrast, saturation, highlights/shadows, and curves functions on PShop. Opinions?

2. The primary issue here was an overexposed sky as I wanted to preserve details on the car. So I did some work for the sky in addition to some cropping and other adjustments. BTW, the day was just crazy, blue skies one moment, crazy overcast the next. Welcome to Seattle...

3. It's the same Lambo just B&W.

4. I've tried HDR before quite unsuccessfully. I find it very difficult for some reason. But, I think I got lucky. Granted, there were additional tweaks made after the HDR image was created.

my critism is that you didn't post more pictures and angles of that Diablo GT

Equipment: Canon PowerShot A650IS (semi retired) and Canon Powershot G10 (primary) and Rebel XT 350D w/18-55mm kit lens and Quanterey 18-200mm-- www.youtube.com/alexander1485 (has links to some of my pictures on the main page)

The body in the last one looks pretty good, but I'd crop a lot of sky out & I'm not loving the HDR halo in the trees. Seen this?

It's funny because I JUST saw it right after I posted. I wish I would've found it before the shoot. :oops: Thanks though. I will study it!

It's all a learning process & my way certainly isn't the only way. But it's one way to make them look good without a lot of lighting work.
