I figured I needed some more photos of my Camaro. So here they are. Nothing special.

First is an HDR, the others are just Shadow/Highlight tool in CS2. Photos were taken at my place in Brick, NJ as well as Sandy Hook, NJ. The HDR has too much room behind it (IMO) but I my CS2 doesn't like me at the moment so I can't fix that.







Before (With dents):


After (With 1 min of Clone Stamp work as well as 1 min of Desaturation work on the once blue tinted rims):

I like the 1st one the most for one simple reason

You can see 2 sides the other three are very flat looking because of the angle (or rather lack of) you shot from.

Car photography is all about the angles. If you want a primarily side shot at least turn the front wheels to add some more depth to the shot.

I don't like the car myself but as a photography subject it is GREAT!! lots of angles and lines to work with.

Look forward to seeing more from you!!

I really want to try HDR with some car shots. I really like the look of #1 there. With #2 my only complaint is the car color looks washed and doesn't seem to match the color of the other images. As per the profile stance I like profile shots when done well, but I think only #2 is close here. If you do profile I think you need to make sure the camera is exactly centered front-to-back. In your third shot, for example, its not. One way to tell is how the other side's tires look in relation to the near side's tires. Does that make sense?

Very nice. I like the first one the best. How do you print them out to look like a photograph with the boarders and add your name?

Very Cool! I agree about the first photo that it may need just a little bit different crop because there is a lot of space behind it. I like 3 & 4 the best!! Gotta love to shoot vehicles!!

Thanks all! I edited the last shot a little bit and will get around to fixing the HDR as well. I was trying to get a few side profile shots for a rotating banner on my F-body Club's website.


I use Photoshop and record an action to create my outline and sig on all my photos. I have one for Portraits and another for Landscapes. Basically I just expand the canvas a few diff. colors/sizes and add my sig.
