Hotrod +PS · 04:21 AM

Hi All,
Escaped for 1/2hr to an american car show at a local pub. I got there a bit late but got a couple of images that i was happy with and played in PS. Excluded sky, added contrast and brightened subject.

Hope you like.
Cheers Neil

Very effective, I'm liking #1 in particular quite a lot, well done.

Love the PP work on these two. Well done. JIM

#1 is brilliant, very well done. #2 would be stunning as well, had there been no other cars in the picture, somehow it makes the picture less dramatic.

You've done really well highlighting the colours of these fab old cars. The lustre on their bodies is awesome!
Thanks for sharing Neil.

Incredible !
#2 does it for me. Creating the mask in the 1st must have been a nightmare though. Them bushes I mean.

knumbnutz · 12-13-2009, 06:18 PM

Thanks for the replies everyone, muchly appreciated.

The mask was pretty easy actually, I just used a 300pix brush !
The hardest part was deleting the person standing next to the pontiac. I had to copy stamp the car repairers and brushes till i was happy.

Cheers Neil

I definitely like them...great job of PP...something I'm very weak in

Really makes them stand out from the usual car photos!

**Heinrich Lohmann** · 12-13-2009, 08:49 PM

Good photography, good PP, my favourite is the first one.

scott-devon · 12-14-2009, 10:49 AM

Fantastic PP work, these are both great!

woof · 12-14-2009, 02:02 PM

Outstanding really.

knumbnutz · 12-14-2009, 02:44 PM

Lightning perhaps ?

builttospill · 12-14-2009, 02:55 PM

I do like the lightning more than the first, but I'm assuming that's not final PP as the lightning on the far left and far right start in the middle of no where.

Car pictures are my favorite subject. The second is my favorite because of the lines created by the power poles, and I like the car better. I think one final touch may be to remove or tone-down the bright yellow building on the left as it distracts from the car.

knumbnutz · 12-14-2009, 07:25 PM

Thanks for the feedback.
I want to delete all cars and the shop from the image to finish the Pontiac shot.

I have sent the Car Club the photo links and just maybe the owners will like them enough to buy them. I have had only good feedback which has prompted me to be cheeky enough to try selling them the shots

Cheers Neil
