Mike: you're gonna want an even slower shutter speed in those pics. first car looks like it's stopped on the side of the road

Matt: Rudy mentioned how to isolate colors, but if you want to isolate subjects there is another way: select the areas you want in color, copy them, gray-scale the picture, make a new layer, and then paste. or you can also gray-scale the picture first, then use the history brush and go over all the areas you want in color.

I'm on a regular monitor now and going over my pics again. the lotus flower pic is way over-saturated. i'm going to redo most of these when i get home

 

Hahhaha. yeah, i know...

But I could only do so much when I'm driving on the freeway and taking photos at the same time.

Here's some better ones:

 

havent put a new coat of wax on my truck since july..... but i can still get a decent reflection...


and a pic of the truck so you have an idea of what you are looking at...

 

Huan those are a lot better . i like em!

 

Blargh... Can't believe you're make me confused with my own names.

Damn, Gene. How the hell do you get those night shots so sharp...

 

tripod plus remote shutter... plus those guys move pretty slow

 

Lol. I need a less cumbersome tripod.

 

Gene, this photo is SICK!

 

wow amazing photos.. makes me want to get into photography.. what cameras is everyone using??

 

You sure? It's damn expensive...

I have a Canon 20D.

I think Kyosho does too, but his pictures make me think otherwise.

 

Yes, 20D here . are you saying the EXIF is a lie Jake?

i had a brief stint with the 40D (New York), but I haven't found the difference noticeable enough to want to upgrade. I only miss the bigger screen.

 

Damn...Gene is always steppin it up a notch! Love that last pic Gene.

Can you share what lense you are using these days? I'm too lazy to look myself

 

thanks Chris. you got pm

i haven't swapped lenses in a while now... my primary is still a 24-70L. i can't even remember the last time i touched the 50mm 1.8... i love primes but i'm just too lazy to run around with a fixed-length lens

 

Wow Gene, Amazing shot! Cant believe you pulled that one out so perfectly with such a low light.

 

Must you use all 3 of my names?

Yeah, none of the newer models warrant an upgrade except for a bigger screen, in my opinion. The only one I'd upgrade to is probably the 5D mark I or II just for the low noise at higher ISO's. Too bad that'll render my Tamron 17-50mm useless cause it's made for the APS-C sensors and not full frame.

How much was that tripod that you bought and where can I find one?
