So I went to the ALMS at Limerock and took a few pics with my mothers Nikon D300.
Going from a Canon XTi to this is a big difference. I don't think my mother is going to get her camera back Here is a shot I took. Learning a few things with Photoshop too, but what are the best tools and settings for action shot pictures? All i did in this pic was Sharpen, Shadow/Highlights, Auto Levels Contrast and Color and finished with Brightness and Contrast. |

Hey Armin, Its Jeff from San Diego....we ate at In n Out with the Junkies back in the day.
Love all your work. Here's some shots I took recently trying to learn how to use my Nikon D50. Can I get some feedback/advice? Thanks! I wish the lighting was better in this one...not sure what happened. -Jeff Last edited by JeffrWRX; 07-20-2008 at 05:26 PM. |

And here's a shot my friend Josh took at the same time, standing about 10 feet away from me: That's basically little/no editing compared to a lot of editing. It's up to you to decide on what you want Quote:
Good to hear from you...I miss you guys down there. Haven't been back in awhile! Anyway, your photos look good...on the thing that jumps out at me is that if you want to take a good photo of your car(s), you gotta make sure they're the subject, and not just something that happens to be in the shot. The best way to achieve this is to pose the car in some way...turn the wheels so that they face the camera, don't let any object get in the way of the car, or park it in such a way that isn't normal, for example: If you saw this SRT-4 parked on the road like this, you'd probably point and laugh at how ghetto the parking was! But for photos...it works great Hope this helps! Armin |

I finally have some pics to submit for advice.
I'm finding it really hard to know when enough is enough when playing with the color balances, especially on the second picture. Nothing seemed to work. Either the car looks off or the sky. |

I'm having to still shoot in JPEG since I can't seem to find the right plug in to allow my creaky version of Photoshop 7 to read RAW data. I need to upgrade to CS3. |

I found a Canon app that lets me play with RAW files. There's so many options and little tweaks. Here's my first go with a shoot using RAW as a starting point.

Armin,
Just wanted to say thanks again for this thread and for offering up the advice to the folks here on the forums. I've definitely seen improvements in folks who are taking the tips here to heart and putting them into practice. Never a bad thing to see higher quality pics in the gallery. Take care, and hope to meet up with you one day when I'm up in the Pacific Northwest! -Mike |

Hey dude, quick question. Is this a terrible pic because the focal point is the wheel's reflection on the door?
I wanted the front wheel to be as oof as the rear, but I didn't have my 50mm with me. Secondly, is there too much negative space in this picture? Thanks in advance . -Andrew |

^^^ I know you're asking Armin, but here's my $.02. Yeah, the shot doesn't seem to have any point of focus. Upon first glance, you think it's the front wheel, but then you wonder, "Why is it OOF?" Yeah, at 200 2.8, your DOF is not narrow enough to get the front as blurry as the back is. I kinda like the negative space since the front wheel is pointing into it.
