    What was being sold out of the red S10 in the Dahlonega parking lot? lol...i recognized the location instantly!

    Mechanics wise parking lots are destined to fail BUT since it's an event involving a group of cars it's expected and I'd say acceptable. It's recreating an event and what you and everyone else saw so nothing you can do...except maybe get in a bucket truck and shoot down lol!

    Color & lighting seems to be good. HDR may be a little exaggerated in a few :2pixels:

    I'd just add a little bit of contrast too. This one I bumped up the saturation and adjusted the curve and levels slightly...

    *edit*
    The changes are barely noticeable now that I down graded the quality to a .jpg from photoshop lol!

    hahaha they were selling rabbits, believe it or not. $7 a pop... only in Dahlonega!

    when you say center syndrome, are you referring to the poorly centered subjects in a few photos, or the lack of interesting composition and reliance on shooting cars in the middle of the frame? i can kind of attribute either to the casual nature of these photos, they were just some quick snapshots more or less. didnt really take my time at all, kinda snapped for a minute between hopping in and out of the car without a whole lot of thought or creative framing.

    as for poles, i've been playing with the clone stamp (see the rear shot of the black and white s2ks with pallets in the background - the far right is all cloned in), but i haven't really gotten terribly good with it yet. and the cars were parked wherever the owners wanted them, couldn't really move them around to eliminate those elements from the bg.

    I didn't actually do any HDR composites at all, they're all single images pretty much solely manipulated with basic vibrance, saturation, shadow/highlight, and photo filter tweaks. i think im generally somewhat conservative on saturation tweaks just because im so weary from having seen so many just crank it way up and produce unnaturally vivid images, guess i can afford to be a little more liberal with that slider. as for levels, im not yet familiar with how to tweak that in Photoshop, ill have to experiment with it.

    thanks for the input and taking the time to look them over. i feel like im slowly improving, both behind the lens and in CS4. overall i was actually a little happier with the shots i took at the varsity this month better, though a good part of that could be due to subject matter, lighting conditions, etc.

    My muscle car will beat most cars in straight acceleration, handling, or braking so the only 5 mph turns you will see me making are leaving stop signs.

    This is why I hate having cars try to race me on the streets. If I pull up to a light, I'm not gonna race you unless I know you because it's not gonna prove anything besides the fact that I know my car's not fast (even though it is boosting). My car was designed for curves which I found out on Sunday it needs a little more help in that area too. However, I did rather well for being mostly stock.... mostly.

    No one ever wants to race anymore... Not like when I had the M3 and swapped Hondas always tried to get a piece. The corvette needs some suspension work too..

    On the occasions that I am just feeling like I need to let my right foot be heavy and I do race, I generally try to make sure it's all in good fun by motioning to the driver.

    I recall once I was just getting onto 316 from Winder. I was just gunning it to get around this dually turbo diesel ford and he sees me blasting by and absolutely puts my car to shame. He was def. chipped though. We got to the light and he said his buddy had an MSP once and he loves these little cars. I lol'd hard. His license plate cover said "Hell yeah I street race!"
