So I went out today and stacked a Hoya ND4 filter and a Hoya CPL together. This and the above pics were the results.

Damn, they'd make some awesome backgrounds!

I'm toying with getting a camera myself, a Canon T1i, but convincing the wife is another story.

funky, they feel flat... did you think about upping the contrast or maybe dodging the clouds or something to bring them out a bit?

yea..they're straight out of camera. Weird..I'll check it out.

They do have kind of a nice rural feel to them with the lack of contrast, if that's what you were going for, but I think with the ND filter, a boost in contrast wouldn't be a bad thing.

that last one is awesome.

Yeah, that last one is teh win.

I have to agree with sleeper. The first one, I don't get any sense of scale with it. Is the background 100 yards away or a mile away? The other part is that a bit more contrast and even a little more saturation on either the sky or ground would make them pop a little more, and give more life to the photo.

That's just my opinion with my small knowledge of photography...

Very nice funkybuddha! like those a lot, and I think the contrast is good

i actually like the tone and contrast. feels very rural and antiquey. i think the first one looks flat just because there is no foreground element. nothing there to lead your eye into the shot and give it more depth/context.

the second one has a lot more depth with the road, grass, and fence leading into the foreground.

That's a pretty cool photo TXspeed, givin me ideas!

I'm loving those pics too Funky. I think your contrast and levels are perfect. As already said, it gives that rural look to it, suits it very well.

TX- love the execution but the content is lacking. if it weren't for a bunch of car enthusiasts here, most people wouldn't find the remnants of a tire tread very interesting.

Ya I think the perspective of the photo should have been taken lower leading into some sort of content and composition in the photo.

Ya, I can see that now, and I agree...thanks for the critique everyone. I'm working on becoming a better photographer
