    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.

    Mystery Car

    I meant to get this posted before now. Not an expensive car originally (hint hint hint), American made, production came to an abrupt halt for business reasons ( hint hint hint ), there are three clues visible in the photo that might point the afficinado in the right direction. Yes, they look remarkably like another car. And with good reason (the final hint).

    Good luck!

    Huh, if it wasn't American I'd go for something like a Beauford kit car which is based on a mini.

    Interesting side note on what I just said above. I was looking through some photos I took recently and came upon one, where my initial reaction was, "wow what a poor imitation of a Greg McCary". I think thats a sign that II spend too much time on PR.

    Nice work!!

    Thanks for the kind words....
