[GTR RECARO]

[Wlee2]

nice looking photo but.. any advice to improving it?

small things that annoy me are the somewhat stray green dots.. caused by direct light on the lense i think.. might have to look at a lense shade thingy..

but any other sorta advice?


Photo is taken with a Nikon D40 with a 18-55 lense ISO200, f,stop 3.5 Exposure time 1/4sec

it was slanted??????

my eyes are chinese they were born slanted =P.. haha but thanks.. jing do you know is there only really one way to remove those green flares? and that is to get the shade thing or the lens hood?

Even with Circular Polozier (spelling?) filter, you can't get rid of all the light reflection (if that's what your green flares' talking about). Besides using the above mentioned filter, you can try to reposition the cars till the point where the flares are minimal (if you still want to take at the same angle) or you can find other angles without moving the cars till the flares are minimal.

By green flare, your not referring to the exit sign reflection, are you?

What kind of look were you going for? Neils car is a bit too underexposed, to the point where you can't see much detail at all.

Was going for the Good VS Evil Look.. where the Evil (in this case NA car) is in the darker section of the photo =P and notice my Halo of light =P haha..

but strangely it showed up detail fine on my computer.. maybee its the monitor that makes the difference..


Also the original Photo i posted had a green flare about 1 inch to the left of the light.. .. hey Jing what did you Photochop to remove it? was it some filter something on Photochop.. i seriously goto learn how to use it..

there is like a black hole on the black car - maybe its door has been dented in, it is so hard to tell...

Now i see the green flare you are talking about. In this instance, it can be easily remove by removing the color feature of PS. The good thing about these kinda roof, is that it makes minimal difference between the colored and b&w.
