i try not to be an asshole to photographers cause everybody sucks at one point....but dude...my eyes are in pain. chill out with the shadow/highlight tool....waaaaaaaay over processed man, sometimes less is more lol

D300 w/ 70-200mm f/2.8 @ Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8

I ca see how too much can be too much, for some of these, but I don't want mine to look like everyone else's. Till I find another way of makeing things look different, I kinda like the high contrast stuff for these kinda shots. If I did an actuall photo shoot of a car, I probably wouldn't edit it like this.

But thanks for the comments, as they help me with figuring out what people like.

Are you attempting to develop your own style by photography or by post processing? Composition and proper camera settings should be first then editing. Granted all the shots other than the #6 black S14 are just about spot on for composition but then they're killed by the fake HDR look. It's like a relatively cute chick with too much makeup on but like CH@Dbee said, "sometimes less is more".

In your case you're trying to be different and set yourself apart by over exaggerating the post-processing, but that's the most common misconception...every girl that dyed their hair pink to look different now looks exactly the same as the next girl that did it. Where's the individuality in that?


*EDIT*
Whoa, most of the motorsports shots on your website are perfect and the portrait shots are just incredible. The shots posted here are way below that level or maybe just need post processing like the others!

Agreed 100%!! your portraits are amazing!! Those shots are DESTROYING the ones you posted here. The ones I took at this event weren't that great compared to my other stuff either
