    Little Blue Viper

    Decided to get out the macro tubes and try them out again, been sitting in the bag for too long.

    I see that the from rims are a little bright, but I am not very experienced with Photoshop to know how to fix it, so any tips on the would be appreciated. (trying to learn a little).

    Lemme know what you think!

    The model seems to be a bit tight in the frame, possibly a dark grey border to enlarge the frame. Also I'd use the blur tool to get rid of some of the dust and artefacts incurred when sizing an image for the web.

    Isn't it a cool thing in nature that the colours never seem to clash...

    I have no issues with you editing my photos

    I would zoom out a little more to see the full reflection of the car. Also, I would go in PS and clean up some of the dust or scruffs on the car and table. Great shot though.

    Eric, Hmm.. a straight up shot here. To me it seems a tad bit more soft/undefined than it should be though - did you use a tripod? You should for such a shot, as that would mean you could use a low ISO for better clarity and also use a slower shutter speed and still get it sharp. I like the reflections, but agree that you need to give it a little more space to breath. Good that you didn't get any bad reflections in the glossy sides of the doors.

    Re: Little Blue Viper

    Sorry for the long response time, been out of the country then holidays and all of that jazz.

    @hminx - I agree, after looking it, does seem a bit tight in frame. Tried to use the blur tool, it doesn't seem to get rid of much. Maybe I'm not using the right setting for the tool? I'm not that great with PP yet, still learning

    @jamadophotography - Sort of the same as hminx response. Tried to get a full reflection, but it didn't want to cooperate. How would you try and get the full reflection? Thanks for the compliment!

    @GB - Didn't use a tripod, mine was stolen by my mother last time I was home :/ I propped the camera up on a book and binder and used a self timer. I see what you mean, I up'ed the ISO to 2000 to try and get the shutter speed lower.

    Thanks for all the response, I'm going to try again when I get back to my apartment!
