You mean that spot on my fender/headlight where the light from above is hitting it?

hmmm, that never really occured to me. Maybe I'll try and photoshop it so its not so bright. Pull in a little bit more silver to soften it up.

 

^^^yep. even a simple dodge/burn at low opacy works as well. at least it did on my bs coupe

 

It was too white for a dodge/burn. I had to bring some color into it to play with, and clean up the edge of the healights. I also used a little dogde/burn to lighten up the front and rear of the car, to even out the lighting. Tell me what you think.

 

heres a picture of my first attempt to compare side by side.

 

Awesome! nice work, i know what you mean about the coloring.

now how about the sunroof glare
take care of that and you've got a great pic!...

 

Looks good but is it a little bit blurry or i'm just mistaken. did you do any editing aside from putting the frame and your sig?

 

Yeah, I was looking at that, but dont really know what I should do. Suggestions?

 

Its probably a little blurry... 2 second shutter speed, no tripod lol. It was a test shot that I thought was worth playing with. I actually did quite a bit of touching up.

 

the pic is a tad blury, the fender is blown out and blends in with the PS side headlight and the sunroof has alot of reflection from a light above ...also the pic is underexposed next time dont forget your tripod!

 

i've seen that car alot i think...in the hacienda/rowland heights area...

 

i dont think he was planning on taking this pic..just saw a potential great shot and did it..

paul, pic looks great considering all the circumstances

 

Yeah, aszatk01 and I were talking about that. I touched up the hot spot, and cleaned out the edge of the headlight on the second try. I also brought up a tad more light in the rear and front bumper of the car to even out the light. As far as blurriness... I wasnt planning on making a masterpiece lol! This was a test run... a rough draft... to see if its worth going back to and do a propper photoshoot. I wasnt even planning on doing anything, I just happend to drive by this place, and saw some potential. Wipped out my camera and took a stab at it.

As far as reflection on the sunroof. I'm not really sure what to do with that. You're welcome to play with it, or give suggestions. Thanks.

 

^ next time just position the car correctly so you dont have to use photoshop as a crutch...but since the pic is already flawed your best bet is to airbrush it.

 

Yeah, I'm around there every once in a while.

 

So you think I should completely photoshop it so theres absolutely no glare off the sunroof and roof of the car? The light source is all from above... there has to be some kind of reflection.
