My fave picture too!

Thirded, great pic! Sometimes wish I'd have spent a bit extra and widened the dishes on my RMs

Pretty cool photos....

If you shot them in RAW, I would suggest trying to adjust the tone and colour balance so that you remove a little bit of the "streelamp glow" from the road and sky...make it a bit crisper IMHO of course

Ive thought about raw....just havent got it working in iPhoto yet, and ive lost my Aperture serial haha

Just to add, i took all the photos with my nice shiny Nikon D80

The D80 is a nice bit of kit...I do a lot of shooting with a Canon EOS 400D....

This is a bit more like how I prefer my car photos....the orange streelights dont do anything justice...if you had shot in RAW, removing the offending colours would have been easier...

My edited version using PS CS2

What features did you use to get rid of that? im intrigued!!

quality pics...where was my invite?!?!?

will be sad to see it go mate but onto bigger and better things!

steels are looking sweet alex

I did try and call you but someone didnt answer their mobile

lol...

Kinda like this:

Colour balance adjustment layer (manual adjustment of each colour so it looks a bit better)

Hue saturation adjustment layer (use it to reduce the colour saturation of the road and car)

Colour fill adjustment layer (to bring some colour back to the headlights and wheels...

Then a photo fine filter to crisp things up a bit...


(or, if using RAW...just manually adjust the white balance to give a similarish effect)

wheres white balance in PS

plus: Just followed that and did it on my sig. Look sooo much better now :D Thanks dude! Still cant find white balance tho

No probs...

You can only adjust the whitebalance of an image that was shot in RAW when you open it with PS RAW editor in the bridge.......

With a jpeg you have to use the method I suggested above to remove the orangy colour which is a bit of a pain in the arse

i see well a bit of experimenting here we come



Impressive

id still rather have my disposabal camera!
