I totally agree about the lack of quality threads being posted up lately. This shit must have been gettin under your skin though lol.
Not my favorites, but my most recent. Been ages since I've taken pictures. I know I am not on ya'lls level
Please let me know what I need to work on! I was just messing with different editing with these three pics. I want to invest in some strobes and such but no money
havent posted in a while sooo.......
here are some
Wheres that Lexus rig shot of yours?
i thought this would be a fabulous thread until i saw certain shots... just because you "think" its a good shot doesnt make it a good photograph. I believe this thread was intended to display photos that are awe inspiring or close to it. Photos that are deemed good to the general public usually were the result of a photographer putting forth an effort in expressing his/her point of view in the picture. Simply taking a picture with a DSLR on Auto does NOT make it a good shot. Dont be so dense to think that subpar pictures can be put in the same category as epic pictures just because you "liked" the shot. We all KNOW what Mr. Clean was going for in this thread so lets please keep the pictures on a level plane and continue to post EXCEPTIONAL shots.
im not sure if it was either but a good shot is not up to a viewers "digression".
A good shot is deemed a good shot because... to state it simply... its pretty
Even a child can tell whether or not a shot has what it takes to please the eyes or all the senses for that matter
just because its pretty doesnt mean its a good shot. just because the cars nice looking doesnt mean its a good shot. you could have one person say a shot is fucking awesome, the angles awesome, colors awesome and then there is that other person or few people that says that the angle doesnt do anything for em, its the same car just a diff color, and the colors are to stand outish. so i honestly dont believe that.

Pretty is not soley attributed to color. Pretty was a very broad layman's term used to describe everything that embodies a "good shot". See thats the same kind of thinking we dont need. One that cannot interpret the broad meaning of the word pretty wouldnt have an easy time recognizing a "good shot".
But look... this is not about you. Lets take the attention off of the conversation that you and i are having and let us sit back and absorb the goodness that this thread is capable of producing.
I see some good pics and some okay pics in here.
Btw, are we limited to IA's only pic, meaning taken by IA members? If it's about inspiration and there are tons and tons of pics. I recommend that we stick only by IA members who take good pics.
Speaking of which, here's couple randomly selected shots from one of my favorite all time photog.
And the money shot here:
well since ive posted my pics up a few times with some coverage of events, ill post some that i thought were good/alright. going to start doing more photography soon with a buddy of mine. correction, decided to get a fair bit of my "good" pictures from 2 different events, so it may be alot

theres only a few that i see in this thread that are awesome.....sigh
Great thread idea justin. Even tho some say you critique too hard ( like my set of photos when i first used strobes u son of a bitch lol) constructive criticism is the only way we as photographers can get better. Everyone has their own taste/style. some like the HDR, some like high ISO looking shots. there are many great photographers on here ( yourself, chang, Chad, Bandy, EJ allmota, uproot, geoff, ect) and i think we all bring a certain style to the table.
anyway CC on! here is my contribution.

lol, I do apologize for my tardiness but im here now.. I was feeling the idea of this thread quite a great deal but it does not seem to be going in the right direction.. There are quite a great deal of excellent photographers on here and they know who they are even though they are quite modest at times.. Chang, Mr. Clean, Kamikaze (underrated), Uproot, .blank_cd, and Ch@dbee just to name a few..
On that note here is some of my work:

man, nobodys hating on your photography... most of the time i (maybe others) get the feeling you just post pictures of your car just because its yours. nobody wants to see that fake type r lookin ass teg on offroad suspension we understand its your car / pride and joy, but honestly... refer to my other post.
dont take anything i say srsly. its the interwebs.
Ok, I don't think I'm on the level of really respectable photos yet, but I do think I have 1 or 2 that do fit in with the better photographers on here. These 2 are my favorite, the rest lack the "wow" that these have.
(and yes, the car is supposed to be blurry with the cone in focus, everyone's seen that car, that picture is more about the atmosphere of the drift event than the car itself)
And PLEASE do feel free to CC these, even if harshly, I am all about improving.
^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle
Dwisforme05,
If I EVER am able to keep my car out of the shop and get my wheels on, we need to hook up for a photoshoot. I'm loving your work.
Your sig gave me a seizure.

Been a minute since I've taken any pics... I don't have much to show, but I will post up something without going too far back in flickr photostream. Please excuse the lack of quality. Good to see you guys, though.
great thread.
I think there are several great photographers on this site, my favorite being Cf, chadbee, bandy design, kamikaze and others that I can't think of....I must say that my all favorite out of everyone here is changaroo...every shot he posts makes me stare at it in awe and he consistently produces amazing shots of high caliber. One day I would like to get into photography as a hobby and get on all your guys' level.
But then again, what do I know.
i am not on this level yet. keep them coming though some great captures
Here is some of my weak-ass shit:
heres a few of mine over time. little late getting to the thread. still have a lot of work to do to get on some of these other guy's levels. nice pictures everyone.
