Spring Meet April 4th in Louisville

[Diehonda]

Hey you got rid of the sham wow guy as your avatar. I heard he got beat down by a hooker lol.

I'm gonna try to plan a nice cruise up this way. Nice big back road loop with multiple pit stops Hopefully sometime this spring/summer. Maybe even do some camping if people are up to it.

Yeah, his 1000 dollar hooker bit his tongue and wouldn't let go.

I may be down for some camping. Where at? Big Bone Lick?

Will do. I am waiting to hear back on a meeting I have to set up. But I am trying to get that the Sunday after derby. Soon as I have that nailed down I'll post a couple of dates for people to pick from.

Sounds good.

Big Bone, AJ Jolly, Kincaid... There are a few in the area.

We should plan a national meet at Big Bone Lick. Everyone already thinks we Kentuckians are a bunch of freaks...imagine the response.

I thought about that too. We went last summer and it is a nice park. I dominated their minature golf. Their Big Bone Lick t-shirts aren't as comical as they could be. It is down the street from Beaverlick. Imagine the marketing value.....LOL

Downloaded adobe's lightroom and played around with bobbyt's picture some. this was my first time ever using the program.

original:

lightroom'd:

first time ever using it, pretty neat program

 

[mildsalsa]

Really makes that picture pop.

 

[Moultese]

Not really a fan of that picture. Way too overedited.

 

[sean22306]

thats just lightroom, which I've never used before. I haven't even taken it in to photoshop yet. Probably layer it and make the background b&w or use the original so only the car stands out.

 

[Moultese]

Yeah, that'd be cool.

 

[BobbyT]

Funny thing is, the photo was originally processed from the raw file in lightroom.

Don't take me the wrong way, I don't mind. It actually gave me a laugh to see you downloaded lightroom and played with the photo, since that is what I use for all of my processing. And you definitely have the car itself looking like HDR, but not the shot as a whole. There is a program which will make HDRs within lightroom. Let me know if you stick with lightroom and I'll link you the download. But you will have to shoot at least 3 shots to make it work. Also you may want to try out Color Efex Pro from nik software.

 

[sean22306]

well the colors on the laptop look off. I messed with it some on the mac (which I can't get to connect to the internet for some reason) and the color looked way off from here. So here is the one I played around with on the mac (ps) I just tried getting a real high contrast picture. I know for a true hdr I need multiple shots at different exposures.

 

[BobbyT]

You might try backing down the red saturation slider. There is some red artifacting on parts of the car. But you are doing good with it.
