Nice Clarence! Brembo's are new as well? Looks the bomb!! Although I may be a little biased!

I like your spoiler as well, where did you get that model without the end bits that go over the edge of the bootlid?

The Brembo brakes have been on since around Christmas. Just haven't had an updated photo to show it

The spoiler is a Cyber R spoiler, Jimmy (HKC-Speed) sell a copy of it as the Stanza spoiler.

i think what Ben meant was the first pic of ur first post and your last pic of ur third post were the same but just different light settings, same background tho

YOU LOVE YOUR CAR TOO MUCH LOL

[smythie]

same composition yes, but different amounts of painting (during the exposure, not in pp)

I checked the diffuser and it's not crooked...

[teK--]

Maybe your camera is crooked

Slightly OT,

clarence what ratio would you say your pics are the result of the actual shot compared to touch-ups in post processing?

Just curious these days as to how much'behind the scenes' editing is required on DSLR shots such as these.

Also what program does everyone favour - particularly one thats simple to use?

My work is 90-95% taken in-camera and 5-10% post processing. I always endeavour to take a photo, and not paint a picture.

Many do edit a lot more of their images further in CS5 or such though. It depends on the shots too. The better the photo out of the camera (subject, composition, exposure) the less time you will sped in post.

Any time the subject of your shots have some stake in the shot, you then have to deal with their expectations of how you make them look in the finished product. Some don't want any of their perceived flaws to be shown in the end product, some are happy to just get rid of simple imperfections and some are happy as is. HDR, panorama/stitching images are other genres where you can spend a fair bit of time in post.

Cheers guys,

I'm no newbie to snapping the shots - its just that I have a history with film & slide and not dig. I am keen to get back into photography and bought a 50d, but was concerned about how much I'm starting behind the eight ball so to speak, with so much hoo-ha over photoshopping and shit which I know nothing about (was always taught to take a good shot to start with)

So both your answers are pleasing.

What is CS5 - I would still like to have a play with an easy package to process my RAWs

[smythie]

CS5: I was referring to Adobe Photoshop Creative Suite 5

The car is looking great with the diffuser and aero kit Tangcla Love the lighting and the suspense of the first shot especially ,but nice work all round !
