Couple of Pics from a drive yesterday

Post by BigD » Sat Dec 27, 2008 5:56 pm

Went for a wee drive yesterday to take advantage of the quiet roads and crackin' scenery we have. 8) The car needed a wee run anyway. :D

Messed about with the pics after looking at some tips for photoshop. Don't know if I've made them worse or not but I was trying to keep some scenery in too. :lol: :lol:

I think your trying to hard with the photoshop. It tends to draw you away from the picture, as opposed to highlighting it.



the less purple one is a bit more like it :thumbsup

Agreed, I think you are PS'ing a decent photograph and making it in my opinion a bit cheesy Don! Your composition is pretty damn good, and shots with cars and scenery are a winner!

I found this months edition of digital camera really useful, has 20 top PS tips for beginners, and to be honest if you can master them then you are onto a winner!

Just my 2p, and I love that road! :wink:

The problem is a bland Silver car with bland grey skies tends to look rather, er, bland. :lol: So I was trying to make it look more interesting. :lol: The first couple I didn't really know how to tone it down or indead what filters would work so still learning. :thumbsup Learn't loads with just that one tutorial though. 8)

Thanks for the tip on the magazine, I might just go and buy that. I should really get a decent digital SLR at some point too. :oops:

Dude,

The mistake you made was taking your car and eye off the strip of tarmac ... scenery? Whatever! If you want scenery, err, go walking, or something?

Have a splendid new year ...
