Sick at home with a fever. Just had to have something to do:

Here are 2 jobs I really didn't put all that much effort into. Everything was done with a minimal use of layers, no precise cutting or anything.. Just free-hand messing around.





Seeing as winter is setting inn, there won't be that much to see in this thread before april/may 2008

Just absolutely awesome... all photos!!! Though the ones from the red MR2 are just phenomenal. It gives an great contrast!!!

Congratulations for the job on those photos... just love it!

Noen av bildene av Lamborghini Diabloen er knall, særlig fordi du i Photoshop får
ryddet litt opp i bakgrunnene dine. Du begynner å få ganske peiling ser det ut til,
eneste tipset fra meg er at bildene dine ofte virker litt rotere komponert og bæres
kun av etterbehandlingen. Bruker du 1 minutt lengre på å tenke på komposisjonen og
rydder opp i bakgrunnen med utsnittene vil bildene bli av en annen kaliber!

Keep on shooting

[emil_t]

my i ask if you photoshoped those pics using the burn tool or something similar ?

[markryder]

Hanasand: one of the biggest challenges is finding decent locations for the shoots. I hate using the same place twice, and (as you know) norway is f'ing un-spectacular. That's my excuse for not finding better locations, and I'm sticking with it! But thanks for the words. I'm still learning, and hope to improve it further in 2008.

EMIL_T: amongst a lot of other things, yes.

You must be joking...really, you must be. Either that, or maybe you should expand out to taking geographic and nature shots.

I live in Illinois, only the Netherlands is flatter than here, and I am surrounded by corn fields and suburban sprawl.

[hanasand]

We'll he's got a point. The eastern urban parts of Norway tend to be quite flat and dull.
But still, I'm not saying the scenery isn't spectacular enough. It's just a question of
arranging the shot in such a way that elements you don't need doesn't appear all
over the background and disturb the object in focus.

Take the MR2 shot for instance, placing the car a little more to left (that's a question
of taste really) and moving the camera closer to the ground would let the grass
form the horizon which would be really clean and nice. Or just using a bit more
zoom/tele would also make you able to eliminate unwanted background
elements such as buildings etc.

On average I spent about 2-3 hours working on one photo.

Thanks!

damn! 2-3 hours! i spend 2-3minutes on my photos. I guess that's what makes the difference great stuff man.

[markryder]

Thanks! This shot is something I did just to refresh my photoshop skills (summer can't really come fast enough...I miss shooting cars!!!)



Love that car.

I love this picture mark. The lambo stands out so good. It looks like it`s going to get out of the pic any second .

Enjoying the photos! Way different then what I would/could do but it's fun to see something completely different that looks great.
