Sick pictures. What camera and lens were you using?

 

Thanks Canon 40D and 17-40L

 

Siiiick pictures! I got a question, since these really are perfect exposures....what settings do you use in photo shop to get such vibrant looking photos? especially this one! http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4072/...5979b5ee_b.jpg

 

That one was actually an easy one. The subject was pretty dark and I shot it in Manual so I underexposed it at about 2/3 stop?

Then I just go into Canon Digital Photo Professional and process the RAW file and play with the exposure adjustment until it looks right to my eyeball and the histogram. I depend on the histograms alot since I cannot trust what I see in the monitor

 

do you even use photoshop lol ???

 

Yes I do. Other than watermarking, some times to I go in and play with the curves and levels if getting the correct exposure isn't possible from actual shoot or playing with RAW. I would say 50/50. Some are good with simple RAW conversions with minor adjustments in exposure. Some require a further tweak in dynamic range through Curves. Some require some contrast layer masks, and I would only take time to do it if I really like the shot.

But for the most part, I do my best to keep the style consistent throughout all of my work so it appears seamless

For the ones that I selected to post, only the last one required a bit of work. I made a contrast layer for the ground. All the others were just simple RAW conversions with some minor slider bar adjustments

 

Well ive always been a big fan of your photos, they look brilliant!

 

People go to UCI drive GTR to school?

 

thanks for sharing!

 

I believe that was a vendor's vehicle (Greddy) on display, thus all the Greddy stickers all over it

 

People who go to UCI also own Greddy?

 

lol... they were probably just there to setup a booth and promote greddy products
