I totally agree, looks even better in person!

Nice pics! I hope you don't mind some constructive criticism, but there seems to be way too much blue in the photos. I understand that messing with color balance is a stylistic PP tool, but in this case it makes it hard to appreciate the car's color in a few of the pictures. It looks like you saturated the car and desaturated the surroundings and at least on my screen it's a bit too much. Other than that, pics look great!

I can see what you mean but I didnt saturate the car color in fact i desaturated it lol maybe i need to calibrate my monitor again. but i can assure you guys that i didnt bump the colors.

The care color was a bright royal blue, kinda like the one you see on the 350z, but a bit brighter.

what was your camera settings if you don't mind sharing.

i just got a D60 and i'm just shooting in landscape & portrait mode for my car photos with a 18-55 mm kit lens with polarizer.

dcstep · 07-28-2009, 04:06 PM

Those really look like HDR with the color bumped. If that's natural, then all I can say is "wow, that color pops."

With the ease of manipulation in PS, it easy to see why someone thinks you might have bumped it.

Looks so nice, shots are amazing.

jpsum · 07-28-2009, 08:26 PM

is that glare on the lip of the front bumper in the last picture?

Hey, you should ps your own reflection out of the bumper too.

Yes, that is glare I was shooting with the sun shining right into the lens from above. Didn't take myself out to show how squeaky clean his GT-R was
