Thanks guys!!

I just made an official Photoshop thread in the photography forum...i dont know if its going to have to move, be deleted, or need changing but its up.

Basically anything ps related as long as its not NWS. I feel thats what OT is for.

So yea and sorry those pics are so big, i mean i knew they were like 1200x1600 but i didnt wanna ruin quality resizing and this way if you guys wanna take em for a collection or background or to edit or whatever you want go ahead!


Ok so i have a question for the experienced DSLR users....

Seeing my work above, minus PS altering, do you think i am ready to take it to the next step and invest in a DSLR or should i get some more experience with my P&S?!?!

Focusing, lighting and other tricks i learned in the last 2 years doing photoshoots for club members in our car club here.

I feel ready, im eager to apply my tricks and ideas to subjects with a tested and true camera. Ive seen the results of having a quality DSLR and knowing how to use it. NOICE!

So yea just wondering.

well seeing ur images above doesnt really show whetehr ur ready or not but the images above are really good and well composed... i think u could make the step up to dslr and be very successful.... all it takes is learning settings inside and out..... other than that keeping ur eye to angles and composition.... keep it up mang!

looks great, but what's weird about the picture is that one part of the greeen flower is in focus but the rest isn't.

[Accord R33]

Hmm...you're right. Looking at the picture now, i guess the green bud wasnt a great idea, it would probably be better without it.

anyway, i tried to blur the part that was in focus.


And cropped/sepia. between the cropping and photobuckets compression, the quality went way down.

looks great, but now you have no center of focus. you have one object in your picture but it's not as abstract as it's not a whole picture. but you learn from trial and error. this was just one mistake, your other pictures are great.

Well here are some of my shots, imagestation resizes. I have no photoshop or photography skills and they are not even close to the photo skillz you guys have, so you can ban me if you want. These are pics from our trip to the Sunshine Coast, BC.

Ya i kinda figured that, but i guess the way i see it is that ive got photoshop down pretty good, now i just need to upgrade the camera and that will start me off better before i get to post processing!!

Woot

Tips for this kind of event:
- Always know what lenses you are going to use, so that you do not bring unnecessesary items.
- Always bring ND (Neutral density) filter or polarizer filter just in case your lens have a fixed f-stop (e.g. minolta 500mm f/8 mirror lens) in a sunny day.
- If you are using a telephoto lens, keep in mind that your minimum shutter speed should be equal or greater than your focal length in order to have an unblurry picture (at ISO 100). e.g. Your shutter speed should be equal or greater than 1/200 s if you are shooting with 200mm lens (this is with ISO 100).

Thanks, It was Falken Drift Showoff in La Marque Texas. I left early because it was too hot. They said that the falken team drifted around 1 hour before the show closed. I was so stupid for leaving early.

I need better spots around here..... i drove around for 40 mins looking for some good shit.
