it works so much better as a before and after when seen like that....

nice after shot!

M_Six · 05-17-2011, 11:13 AM

Very nice indeed. Both the processing and the before/after trick.

haha, it does move pretty quick...

how many pictures did you cycle through 5?

UdubBadger · 05-17-2011, 06:28 PM

Not sure if I like it (feels too saturated maybe?) or not but critique plz

1.CR2
2.After
3.After + tilt/shift effect (just learned how to do it so I tried it out)

Chewy734 · 05-17-2011, 06:36 PM

The after looks good. The tilt-shift does not.

Here's my thing with tilt-shift... it looks good when there are multiple objects in the foreground, and definitely in the background. It doesn't work well when you've zoomed into the car, where the car takes up 75% of your composition.

Do a tilt-shift on a busy intersection from a higher-up view and you're golden... but then again, what do I know?

agreed, tilt-shift isn't suited for this.

I like the second picture, maybe drop the saturation a tiny but, but that's personal preference.

It looks nice and clean and the new rims look good on that beast.

Tilt/shifts always look better when the shot is from above. Gives it more of a diorama feel to be looking down on the subject.

How the hell you do you survive driving in Chicago with so little room for wheel travel?

UdubBadger · 05-17-2011, 06:58 PM

yeah like I said, just was tryin it out. Makes sense what you said.

thanks guys, few more to come.

UdubBadger · 05-17-2011, 07:12 PM

any better?

Chewy734 · 05-17-2011, 07:17 PM

you made it darker? hard to tell what you changed when I have to keep scrolling up and down to compare.

UdubBadger · 05-17-2011, 07:30 PM

Oops must have hidden a layer

UdubBadger · 05-17-2011, 09:38 PM

Is good no?

Chewy734 · 05-17-2011, 09:44 PM

meh... your sidemarker is distracting. I'm just not sure what you are trying to do with the photo?

UdubBadger · 05-17-2011, 09:49 PM

yeah i know it is. I was trying to tone it and get rid of that nasty shit in my paint above the fender. Why do my gifs always look like ass on here?

UdubBadger · 05-17-2011, 09:59 PM

ok i cloned out the side marker

The1 · 05-17-2011, 11:44 PM

improved

UdubBadger · 05-18-2011, 01:40 AM

how about this one? Went for a kinda blown out desert feel with a sepia layer.

Too much contrast or can I get away with it?

Clone out that blob behind the steering wheel. It's distracting.
