Beautiful car man, great location as well, the plain background really puts focus on the red car. (cool)

yup..that was the plan...guess it worked lol..thanks for noticing!

 

[SHAGwagn]

yea i need to find a spot like this to take pictures of my new rims. Wana take pictures of my car lol.

Just work in layers and u can make the background any color/tone u want. Are u familiar with photoshop or any other editing software?

Ill post up a comparison later between the actual negative and the final image after post so you can see that ultimately its ALL in your hands.

Here are the before and afters i mentioned. Decent post skills go along way in digital photography. Look up a guy name Scott Kelby, he writes photoshop/photography books...really good source, its how i learned. Cheers (drinks)

Those edited ones look much better then the original, cheater! I have a program called Gimp that is alot like photoshop but it is free. I still havent really figured out how to use it. Good though on those pictures.

Because of this thread I bought some RX8 wheels for my true red. My wallet hates you!

Your car looks very nice. I don't have a MS3 yet, but hope to within a month or so.

DaleNixon, make sure you post pics when you get them installed.

[DaleNixon]

Will do! I have to turn of TCS and smoke the stockers into oblivion first!

Looks good- though some of the shots the photoshopping was a little too apparent (notably the faux lower depth of field).

I'm not sold on the door guard removal on red. Without it, it looks a bit slab-sided.

 

[DaleNixon]

Oh man you're right. I just noticed the door guard removal. Now I need to do that too! At least it's a free mod! I need to track down the thread explaining how to do it without messing up your paint.

Thanks for the constructive criticism...there had to be someone who didnt like them as much right? lol Have any work you'd care to show...possibly teach me a thing or two?

btw....the door has been "sold", i think ur in a boat alone on that one
