3rd from last PwNORSAr5e

the third from last is amazing.

[bodieanddoyle]

schweet! not a big fan of the heavy star-crossing but very good . while you're playing with it, it'd be nice to get rid of the "zebra zone" marks in the windscreen too.

very Robin of Sherwood (micheal praid era)

Nice car. Nice pics! I recently bought an S5700, but I haven't played with it much yet.

Are those Skoda wheels?

[generally01]

Cheers guys.

Not Skoda wheels Benzboy. 15 inch Gemini wheels. Probably been fitted to a skoda somewhere but they (as far as I know) are English made aftermarket wheels for VW's.

[BenzBoy]

Ah right, I see. I had a similar set (13in I think) on my Rapid. The name began with J I think... can't remember now! ;D

Looks great anyway!

Mega cool. No, make that uber cool. I'm especially loving that chin spoiler(?) on the front. Top work fella, really impressed.

[akku]

Ditto some of the "effects" are a little much in some shots, but good composition and general presentation of the subject. Love the good ones. 5 & 6 work best for me. I'd like to see some of the others with a little less of the bling. Nice work.

[street]

Fantastic car, excellent location and beautiful pics IMO, nice work!
3rd one down is probably my fave

[SteB]

I'm fairly obcessed with HDR at the moment, I love some of those pics you have produced.

Have you tried any in black and white? I think they may work well.

[Ratters]

cool phot's cool motor

i thought there was a hint of hdr in there

[milfordcubicle]

I think HDR is dreadful, and you've been fiddling too much with some of your photos. My favourites are the more crisp/unedited-looking ones.

[rmad]

I'm not sure just how much editing you've done on the pics, but I would say that some of them appear a bit to fiddled with. That said, they beautiful and well taken shots.

The Gemini wheels are made by KN - the company that supplied Skoda UK with the alloys they fitted to their cars...including the Gemini design. All of the Skoda rims were 13" fitment.

Aaaah, I thought I was going mad! Thought they looked familiar.

What is HDR?

[generally01]

HDR is High Dynamic Range. The theory is you take multiple pics of the same thing but at different exposures and by using this free software;
www.mediachance.com/hdri/index.html
You lay all the pics over each other.
This means that the detail in an area of 1 exposure which is lost when over exposed can be filled in by the detail in the under exposed picture.
It also lets you change the colour saturation and hues and I personally really like the effect.
