Very nice man! The first 2 shots are money especcially with that hella cool back drop. And the last picture looks hard to do, You captured the light inside the garage and outside perfectly

if you look, all 3 have the same EXIF. I used a wide angle lens. the EXIF on all three say 135mm. how can that happen

the reason is because the frame I use to protect my images (and has my signature on the lower right hand side) masks the original EXIF data of the original photos.

trust me, Ive been shooting for at least 8 years. I know how to shoot HDRs. these are relatively mild in comparison to the outrageous ones of late.

why go to that extent if this is just hobby shots? also why is your title called "some practice shots" if you have been doing this for 8 years? in anyways shots are alright

its just to keep sharp i learned that if i go off shooting for about a couple weeks my perspective goes off and my creativity plummets. so forcing myself to use the gear keeps things fresh.

cars are not my main forte, but weddings and formals. not much money in cars

you take really good shots toobro. i like your style. its a shame you arent local. i always learn new things by shooting with other people. i tend to see my own flaws and find ways of fixing them. nothing better than another pair of eyes looking over your work

lol i was supposed to meet up with BJ and a few others last saturday at K1. i got there early, took a round and left before 9. then i log in here and get a message that they changed it to 9, so i jet back there. nothing.

i go home again and found out they couldnt book a round (it was hella busy at K1 after i did my round) so they didnt stay lol


maybe sometime after next week. hit me up when you're free homie!

Mmmmmm, beautiful! I agree whole heartily with your idea as to why you called this "practice." As a fellow artist, I view every piece I've done as practice for whatever is coming next.

Shots are nice. Like the first one, the position of the car between the two objects on each side of it is priceless.
