    Re: August Project - Cars

    Old School, Tim, G'day.

    I shot the image in RAW at 100 ISO. The only filter on the lens was a clear UV. I originally took the shot to calibrate the shadow detail of black objects, with my new Canon.

    The image is a pseudo HDR . I used one exposure which was an 'averaged' light reading.

    The exposure was 'Tone Mapped' in the Photomatix programme, gaining luminosity in the shadows using the 'Detail Enhancer's' range of functions, I think this has worked well.

    I'm delighted with the overall quality of the image, showing maximum detail in the deep shadows and the black car has worked very well revealing many blemishes in the paint, and the sky has worked.

    I used Canon's 'original' ArcSoft program, rather than Photoshop (which I find confusing and awkward) to make small tweaks to the overall colours, post Photomatix. All-in-all an image like that takes about an hour to produce from downloading because I experiment and play around a lot ... and I tweak the colours and shadow values, heaps.

    Warren.
