Matt (Atlanta Performance Photography) & I were in Arizona just a couple weeks before his incident so just now getting around to playing with them...some are his and some are mine but used his camera so giving him the credit :camera:

nice pictures. What kind of camera/lens did you use. Also what were youre post processing techniques?

[speedminded]

Camera: Canon XT (350D) w/ Canon 70-100 F3.5-5.6
PS: Slight unsharp mask w/ contrast and saturation adjustments

They aren't as crisp as I would have liked because matt's good tripod is too big for the plane and I was a dumbass and forgot my smaller one :headslap:

man, I'm really tripping on how great those pics look. I'm definitely going to buy a decent camera with my tax money. Nothing of this quality but man I'm tired of viewing these type pics and then looking back at my crappy economy HP digipics.

New widescreen background pic :D

man, I'm really tripping on how great those pics look. I'm definitely going to buy a decent camera with my tax money. Nothing of this quality but man I'm tired of viewing these type pics and then looking back at my crappy economy HP digipics.HP makes great printers, some of the best in the world at that but as for computers and cameras :no:

As for photo quality, if you want high quality shots you need a high quality lens...period. Then the ideal lighting and having an eye for that perfect angle or all the best equipment in the world won't matter one bit. The camera body is kinda relative, if you're doing insanely large billboard and print ads then you may need a Canon 1Ds Mark II for $8k or even a $30,000 Hasselblad that can shoot 39 megapixels but for the other 99% of the "photographers" a basic D-SLR body with a couple good lenses is more than enough. :2cents:

L series lens?oops, my bad...wasn't the 70-100, all these were taken using the Tamron 28-75/2.8.

I shot my car with the Canon lense (non IS, non-L)...

You dont use that HDR stuff ive been reading about on Honda-tech to you?

BRB, A Pretty Little Sunflower Seed :bump:nope, no lighting additions or modifications at all....just auto contrast with a little extra saturation to give that vivid wannabe L-lens look.
