Newnan meets

[Schroeder]

At Wendy's

You didn't stay for long btw, wtf?

I had to get home and start getting ready for work. I wanted to get the valve cover seals glued to the valve covers before I went to work as well. I still gotta run all of my -12an hoses to finish everything off. Well that and a few other small things and the shitbox will be ready!

[h23bb2]

Kinda figured but didn't wanna look like a dumbass by calling you the wrong name, lol.

And speaking of working out, anyone else seen the commercials for the "Insanity" workout program? That ish looks insane.

It does! I was kinda thinking about it but I don't have time... I should re adjust my schedule to make time though...
What is the P90X???

[Sawyer]

Insanity is made by the same company as P90X. I haven't seen the commercial for it yet though.

Steve, Here's the P90X website:

The prelude's going to an auction. My claim handler gave me the stock number and called the auction explaning the situation to them and telling them it was ok for them to talk to me and to tell me when it will be sold.
In the process of getting in touch with somebody with a dealer's license....
Wish me luck guys (and girls), I'm gonna need it.

The prelude's going to an auction in Lake City called IAA auctions. My claim handler gave me the stock number and called the auction explaning the situation to them and telling them it was ok for them to talk to me and to tell me when it will be sold.

I quit going to the V as it's become a hooligan and rice fest. I went a couple months back and questioned myself why I even bothered going up there.

[h23bb2]

something to do on a thursday night???

[Nerdsrock22]

I've had less and less fun over the past couple of months. I still go to see folks I wouldn't see otherwise though. I haven't seen a car that's blown me away in a loooong time though.

[2jdm4drift]

let the comments begin!

Hi

[bbuba]

A lil far away but looks good

[Nerdsrock22]

let the comments begin!

First of all, crop it.

Second of all, all of your whites are way blown out. You're overboosting your contrast and your saturation and killing all of your detail.

How are you saving your images? They look like they have lost a lot of file integrity. Not sure if it's the harsh editing or an improper compression.

1. it was my first time playing with elements i think i went way way over done after...


2. bc of the amount of pics that i took and only having 2 gigs to work with i chose jpeg fine in a large format. then i think bc of the editing and uploading and down loading to flikr too a lot of the integrity out of it. the RAW images i have look ok but none are of the pic that i wanted.

3. if you would take the time to show me what i'm doing wrong that would be awesome!!!

[Homer Simpson]

i'm going next month for sure!

rice meet or not, its still a fun atmosphere!

[2jdm4drift]

Better??

[Nerdsrock22]

Better??

It's not that you are doing anything wrong, you've just over boosted your editing. You want your images to pop, but you don't want to take it so far you lose detail.

Could you post the original image?

[2jdm4drift]

[Tommy_T]

heres some pics ive taken over the past couple weeks

[2jdm4drift]

i hate you tommy always having to up 1...

[firby911]

Yeaaaa,you got a link so i can check the rest out? If not thats cool. Btw they turned out great. I want to go alot lower,its just a matter of time.

[bbuba]

cropped and sharpened on PS Mobile on my iPod

then I put it in dash of color on my iPod for this affect
but it scaled it down, softened it, and distorted it

[2jdm4drift]

i dont get the point? i think it looks better with no edit then softened

[Nerdsrock22]

To be honest dude, the shot is too far away and the car is in a very soft focus. What lens were you shooting with?

The crop I like best is the one you earlier, with the image following the drift line.

I would say just add a touch of contrast, and some leveling and call it a day.

Trying to sharpen something that soft will just ruin the image.

[Dr.G35]

Better??

looks like something off forza III!

[Homer Simpson]

Here's what I did wth it..

Your picture is good man!

Tommy, pics looking good too!

[smoknlegend]

i just wanted to join in on playing with brandons picture:

[Nerdsrock22]

Nice Joe, I like that.

[firby911]

I like the last two posted best,btw michael any word on autozone?

[smoknlegend]

Nice Joe, I like that.

thanks, simple layer job. Top was contrasted to hell, erased the bits that looked like crap (the car didnt look good highly contrasted.) Bottom layer contrasted lightly, with a hue change. Erased the car from the highly contrasted layer and thus we have that.

Brandon, you would benefit i think from knowing how to use layers first and foremost. You can make multiple layers, adjust each layers contrast and then delete what you dont like about them to allow what you like from previous layers to show.

BTW: not directed toward you andy, but toward brandon, in hopes he can get something out of it.

[bbuba]

more contrast
looks like what you did
