Nice shots smile Especially like the reflections in #4


No post work in any of the photos - so the blur in #3 is all in-camera?




Cheers.

I like No: 2, and great to see you are getting the grammar and spelling on your website together, it looks much better.

Keep up the good work.

If shot #1 has no levels tweaked in lightroom, you must be shooting jpg on a certain setting that increases contrast and saturation in camera.

Still, good work. I only don't like #3 and #5. #3 looks too fake and #5 is just average.

Nice Photos.
Like them all except for the Third one, something does not look right about it. Did you do the blurring in Photoshop?

You need to ammend where your watermark goes

Its quite distracting. I appreciate they get done by batch but you would get far better results.

What he said - what you need is 4 actions, one for each corner, and use the appropriate action so your sig doesn't intrude too much.

I like the photos, but I don't like #3, it looks way to fake. If the wheels were spinning maybe you could pull it off?

Agree on the fact no.3 doesn't look right. The rear wheel looks 2D...
The others look good. smile

O/T Was it you in Pete's Sunbeam Tiger last night, at the pub?

Sorry Damian, but the only one that could have worked for me was the first one - nicely lit with the bright red really leaping of the page against the grey background. But for some reason you've chopped the back of the car frown ? Not really digging the others, the PS'd movement needs a lot more work to, er, 'work' smile

Number 3 the blur on the wheels is all wrong, You need a circular blur.
