Halpin13 · 05-09-2010, 11:49 AM

As people may know I got myself a Nikon D5000 last week, so i washed the car and took it out for some new pictures. See what you think.

Also my mates car.........

scottishpete · 05-09-2010, 12:24 PM

Car looks amazing
Great pics also

Prob the pics with scooby look better,just as the car suits the locations

Bungle009 · 05-09-2010, 12:36 PM

That Camera makes your car look real clean !!

Ash888 · 05-09-2010, 12:46 PM

car is looking hot!
pics came out great.

Ham09 · 05-09-2010, 01:15 PM

Nice urban stylee photo's there bud. To be a bit critical, some look a little under exposed or have you darkened them that way on purpose? Anyway great composition

My Nikon D90 arrived this weekend (must say v.pleased with it). Was either this or the Canon 550D for me.

I also washed my car too, so here's a couple of pics I took today and put through photoshop

The shots have been put through Photoshop also and the 'dark' look is something I like. Deep colours is the way lol

great pics man, car looks good and clean! nice location too!!

ss134 · 05-09-2010, 02:25 PM

Great pics - and both cars look amazing!

beemerbird · 05-09-2010, 03:31 PM

All great pics.......there's a few budding photographers on here.

O/P - Your mate seems to have the 'moody' look to go with the surroundings.

Beats me how you lot can wear shorts in these temps.........must be hard......oh yes, you're up North eh.

Hairyarse · 05-09-2010, 03:47 PM

Great pics and love the cars

Dr Dave · 05-09-2010, 04:23 PM

I wish I could get on with Photoshop and create these great effects! Nice work guys.

MEGA · 05-09-2010, 04:45 PM

Looks dedent mate don't love the m6 reps on the e90 but the pictures are very good nonetheless and your car is improving alot as time goes on

those green alloys are horrendous..

Dr Dave · 05-09-2010, 04:53 PM

"Blue and green should not be seen"

so the Mother-in-Law always used to say.......

Halpin13 · 05-09-2010, 05:40 PM

Thanks for all for the comments.

Really getting into take pictures with the new camera, a full time hobbie it's becoming

yep the green wheels arnt 2 my taste but hey it's his car and money also quick as foooook. Launch control mmmm lol

Photoshop is a fantastic tool, recomend every1 2 dive into it, I learnt myself through the net, books and YouTube. Something where you pick up the basics pretty quickly.

G6DDS · 05-10-2010, 03:33 AM

Great pics of 2 stunning cars. I knew straight away they were processed in some way. Have you tried using lightroom? it's much easier and quicker than photoshop if you just want to boost saturation levels etc like you have done above. I also have photoshop but leave that for my more advanced pics.

BanziBarn · 05-10-2010, 03:45 AM

Very nice.

Do the German style plates cause any trouble?

cant say i've heard of lightroom, but im a photoshop man and always playing around on it improving my skills

, but ill take a look.

BanziBarn .... i dont have any trouble with the german plate. its pressed metal also. think its clear and normal size so they tend not to say anything

Dr Dave · 05-10-2010, 01:01 PM

Lightroom compliments PS very nicely. I use it too.

Both are Adobe products.
