Matboys Picture Thread..

[MaTBoY]

First Real HDR

Shame it wasn't a very exciting location

Can a Mod rename my thread to something like "Matboy" or something similar. I think I'll be posting up more than car pics.

NEW!!!!!!!!!!

I'm pretty sure I can see an improvement already Thoughts?

Must better!! keep at it

[astrotristan]

looks wicked matty! i thought you died or something... or maybe just changed your number

Actually, that makes me think of something.

Matt, to get more "pop" in your photos, either bump up the saturation in Post-Processing of the photos, and/or try taking the car to an environment with more contrasting colours. Because your car is a light silver colour, you need to find a background with more colour than "concrete grey" - even if some of the pylons are painted in more colours, it could just be enough...

That's what I was saying, that's right. =)

That's the way you do it. Right like that.

Keep these coming and you will be golden.

Also, that one off-angle shot works fine, but don't get carried away with those because people just flat out don't like that perspective as well.

Great job over all though, really.

THanks for the name change slimmy wimmy!

Hey Tristian! Yeah i got a new number ages ago. I'm still on here if you want to flirt with me though. How's the beast going???

More pics of random things. I'll start with some motormomobiles and see what else goes on.

like the first gti one.. not the second. Probably just the angle of the shot and the way the wheel is facing, i'd rather see the rim than the rubber

[MaTBoY]

I think It's just because I feel no love for her wheels haha

it's not a gti, starlet gt. ep82.

This is probably way to much for one night.

I think I'm finally getting the hang of HDR and photomatrix shenanigans.

This was my manual attempt in photochop a while ago.

Here is a lunch time attempt at trying to miniaturise a caravan park for lego people. This was using an old pic from a crap camera in crapper conditions, so it doesn't have the quality needed. Anyway.. figured i need to start somewhere.

[Sl!m]

Nice Tiltshift Matt have you tried having the focused area focus from left to right heading up a bit instead of straight across and on the grass, try making it

umm.. like... this. http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/7895/caravantoys.jpg

[MaTBoY]

I hadn't but looking at the line I can see why it would probably be more dynamic if I had.

I might give it a quick bash like that tomorrow to compare, Or I'll try my hand at another pic if I can find something suitable but better quality.

I really need to learn how to use a flash.

I've managed to source an old speedflash for the right price (FREE) and I've been trying to work out how to use it. I've been out a couple times trying different things. If you've got any tips feel free to drop me a line

Anyway, I took this one last night out the back of Castlereagh, near the regatta centre, which is right at the base of the Blue Mountains. The camera is facing Sydney which gives that great light transition if you can get out far enough to where the skys are still dark.

I'll probably clean it up in photoshop tonight, and i plan on going out to the same spot and reshooting at a later date when I'm not totaly retarded with using a flash.
