Shoulda shot a close up of your cars..there's a nice reflection in the puddle there. Would've looked good w/o the train!

Well this is a Colt w/a Evo III motor

Trueno w/ a s2000 motor.

ok for the past 10 minutes ive been trying to figure out what those Falken tire things are (blue things)!!!.. anyone know??.. its bugging me that i cant figure it out

 

[Saskatchewan17]

For sliding the car around easily? Or just for display of the tires since it is most likely sponsored by Falken? idk.

 

[Wagonbacker9]

yeah, just a product-placed sign to highlight the fact that he's on falken tires, most likely because he's sponsored.

lol i should have been more clear i guess.. what is the name of those things.. they have a name.. not sure what it is. i know i asked someone at a show once cuz he had toyo ones but i forgot what name they were called..

Air show today! I was scrolling through the 600+ shots and this one jumped out at me right away... There are a couple more with the same prop/water vapor effect from different angles too.

not an effect, its real.

 

[kickniteasy]

sorry....by effect I meant the effect the camera settings had on the photo that was taken, like a lighting effect.

No.

Hey Funky, can you explain this one to me? I assume you use the circular polarizer to remove reflections, but from where? Windshield?

 

[FlyinHawaiian]

Actually, that effect is caused by the propeller tips creating vortices's in the humid air. With photography its a double edged sword. On the one hand, the only way you can catch that phenomenon is at a high shutter speed, but when you do that, you freeze the propeller and it looks kind of weird. On the other hand, when shooting propeller driven aircraft (such as the C-130) a shutter speed of 1/100th or 1/125th is more desirable to get a nice arc for the blades. Gives more motion to the image.
