[Kamikaze]

Nice pics. :goodjob:

[Hulud]

anyways what did the fuzz want?

[atlantamx3]

they just honked & drove by.

I figured they would say something since I was taking up a turn lane-- but nope! Just drove right by!

:whew:

nice pictures I think I've seen that same place in some photos that George took of his Cougar a long time ago

[atlantamx3]

Which place? the warehouses? those were just built and finished like 2 weeks ago.

Just off of Barrett Parkway.

[Dablaze11]

what kind of lens were you using?

[atlantamx3]

I switched back & forth between the stock (sony) 18-70mm and a 70-210mm (minolta)

What street were you on where the cop passed?

[atlantamx3]

It is a wierd little road just off of Barrett Parkway across from Zaxbys and near the QT.

[Hulud]

ahhhhhhhh

i was wondering where that hill was, i knew i had seen it before

[Elbow]

nice pics, nice car

[speedminded]

i'm liking that alpha but still not liking the prices of it's lenses, haven't priced the minolta's though.

photoshopped a couple to bring out the color and vibrance a little more...

[atlantamx3]

Thanks- those look great.

Yeah I didnt edit them at all- just stright to the web.

Which tool did you use to adjust the image? Color balance? Contrast?

Looks like contrast was bumped up a notch. I was a bit hesitant to mess with that because the car is black already and bumping the contrast loses the detail in the shadow areas.

Thanks though- those look great.

[atlantamx3]

BTW- you can get older MInolta lenses for cheap from KEH and from ebay.

I got my 70-210mm from KEH and I love it. I have a 100-300mm but havent used it on the alpha yet.

Thanks though- those look great.very little contrast change...you can click Image - Adjustments - Auto Contrast for an easy way to see what it looks like (Auto Color doesn't always work too well though)

The only thing I did on them was Image - Adjustments - Hue/Saturation - 20-30+ and Filter - Sharpen - Unsharp Mask - 20%, 1.5%, 5

[uproot]

thought this was a good shot... had to photoshop it

[speedminded]

hrmm....looking at this 300mm & their equivalent 200mm, not too bad of a lens!

nice pics...and some nice PS work in here

[atlantamx3]

Holy Shite thats a huge lens! I bet it costs a mint.

[atlantamx3]

oh- I forgot all about the saturation tool I meant to include that too.

But what does the unsharp mask do?

[JMagic21824]

nice pics, nice car!

It helps to sharpen the image a little bit, but be careful it's easy to take this tool overboard and ruin your pictures.
