Thanks.

I left at about 12.15.

I dont know whether the reflection of the trees on the windscreens is a good or bad thing. Difficult to get a shot without reflections.

I use a polarizing filter which can remove most if not all of that.

Why is it that people will freely share their camera/photographic techniques but go all hush hush when you ask about their PP seems odd to me.

What/who/when did you ask? I could tell you mine but it's dead simple.

Over the last year or two I have 3 - 4 people when I have seen something quite different and just get "Oh, nothing much, just used lightroom a bit and used levels" or something similar and it's obvious more was used..... I just find it odd and it seems to be common place really.

On the flipside, if someone has developed a 'style' that is new and different and they plan on relying on that style for commercial purposes I can understand it, but most in the situations I have approached are not using the style as mentioned.

Just won a double pass for the whole weekend for the Rally - we cant use it Saturday as we have a wedding - anyone else keen... We'll need to get it back Sat night as we plan on going Sunday at the crack of dawn... They will get you into the Hampton Downs Super special stage as well (normally extra $$)

I have LOTS of biscuits from work.

If you know where I live, feel free to drop in and pick some up

Thanks for the tip. I never thought of that.

No probs, just don't ask about PP

And while we're on the topic, they are also great for enhancing skies.

If they are like me, then they start off in lightroom & fiddle and tweak, then swap to photoshop and mess around and in the end haven't got the foggiest about how they got to the final photo.

The blue was ok here, but with the filter on the clouds really popped out. It also removed a bit of the glare of the car. Then a bit of lightroom to darken the sky as well by under exposing it.

Sweet.

Good combination of sports car and jet.

The first image is after setting white balance, auto tone (works pretty good but sometimes needs tweaking)
some colour adjusting to suit.
