Broken neck for a kiss...totally worth it.

I shoot too and if anything this thread did 3 things.

Reminded me I need to try new things.
Reminded me that I suck.
Reminded me to be inspired.

...and for that, I thank you for sharing. I think.

Seriously though...being that I am not that new to it, I'm not often floored and wowed. your skills made my pants shorter. In fkng credible.

Thanks man, I think

This is another one of my favorites. I didn't expect it to work, but I think it did. It's star-trails laid over the top like scratches.

Really great looking shots.

MarbleGT

While a great photo, I don't care for the overlay. You've got such nice DOF with the background landscape, it doesn't make since that the stars would be in focus.

My photographer detail OCD is going into overload. I'm nitpicking. Your stuff is awesome.

VisualEchos

iTrader: (1)

You're absolutely right, I only did it as an exercise, and people liked it, so I figured I'd post it here. It's not something I do very often, and I never fake dof.

VisualEchos

This is definitely one of my favorite shots. Can you believe it was shot at high noon?

I don't like you, nor your pictures.

Why no...No I don't believe you when you say that was high noon.
You will now share your secrets.

I couldn't help but hear you say that in a Tupac voice...
"Nawwww nukka, I NEVER FAKE DOF"

I was hoping you'd say that

and you just confirmed my worst nightmare...
you do all your best work with post processing. Which I fucking SUCK at.

Lightroom is all I know how to use and I guarantee you that I couldn't turn a boring ass picture of my lowly Lotus at the mall at noon, into Aladdin's magic carpet ride at midnight as Jasmine sneaks out of her Persian castle and into my car in that bottom picture.

Oh well...some people just have to embrace it and be the absolute BEST at mediocrity.

VisualEchos

iTrader: (1)

I don't consider myself that good at post processing, far from it in fact, though I have been playing around with it since 2001. Some of my pix have a lot of processing, but most of them have minimal work done to them. I find that it's rare that I like pix that are over-processed. The one above is the exception.

There have been a few I have done for fun though. Of those, this one is probably my favorite .

I didn't mean it as an insult, man.
I think your end results are amazing, no matter how you achieve them.

VisualEchos

iTrader: (1)

I know, I'm just saying that I really don't do that much processing, most of what I do can be done pretty quickly.

Oh, and better pix tomorrow, these were just quickies before the storm came in.

Gorgeous colors in these two shots. HDR?

Also, the a spec kit on yet? Or is this stock height, cuz that really doesn't look bad at all.

VisualEchos

iTrader: (1)

Yes, manual HDR. Basically I just processed the pic 2 ways, one for the sky, and one for everything else, then blended the two. No tonemapping.

Stock height. It looks better than it is in real life because of how dark it is. The rear will be flawless (for what I want) when I get the A-Spec suspension on, but the front is going to need work.
