Hi Everyone,

Just a few shots I got from a driving experience day last month that I've only just got round to sharing. There were six Lamborghinis, four Astons, loads of Ferraris- even a F430 Spyder in the car park. Access was pretty limited, but I got quite a few I'm pleased with! There's loads more on my Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com …r/sets/72157609​320877511/ (external link)

Please let me know what you think! (I know the cars could be cleaner but they are being USED, and by people who are paying a fraction of their cost and apparently saw the rev limiters as a challenge!)

Cheers,

George

Excellent Shots, I love the 2nd and 5th shots!

What is your PP technique on these?

Thanks everyone!

Jetsetkiwi, i didn't really use any unusual techniques. 5 is pretty much out of camera with a bit of curves adjustment, but I spent literally 30 seconds on it. A combination of fantastic light and the amazing orange colour made it look like that naturally! As for two, I made the sky into a seperate layer and used a combination of levels and curves to get the right balance between the two. Some warming photo filter and saturation adjustment and a bit of straightening later and that was it really.

RyanM, the things on the exhaust are silencers, it had an aftermarket exhaust system fitted and was too loud for the airfield! I wondered at first because they do look a bit weird...

Hi beezwax, there's loads more of the R8 on my Flickr!

Cheers!
Aewon, that's mainly because I was stood behind the fence and the cars were lined up like this. At best I could get round the side a bit, but not in front. If you go on the flickr gallery though, there's plenty taken from the side showing a lot of the cars lined up and there's some nice ones of them going round the track that show the front! (I haven't got a headlight phobia or anything!)
