Looks pretty good, if not a bit soft, but the picture's kinda small which makes it a bit tough to tell. If you could post a bigger version, that would be excellent.

(And don't be trashin' the Toshibas, I'm still using a 3.2MP Toshiba! :D )

No way! I came across it as I was going through my old shots the other day and I remembered how much I loved that paint job! That was one of the first car pictures I ever took. :D

[4doorj]

^yup yup... but it wasnt a paint job.. it was a vynl done by silent rage

[Go4Long]

I saw that car one night...is it still rediculously low...when I saw it you had trouble gettin into a parking lot :poosie:

Nice job on the headphones too, CatSplat!

[BerserkerCatSplat]

^ Good job, but I think it would have worked a bit better of you'd taken the shots somewhere that didn't leave a bunch of reflections of the hood, like the trees in this picture did. They made the engine bay look a bit dirty.

[4doorj]

this pic is pimp!

Zeus is 1 yr old and 104 lbs. He was doing about 20kph trotting and 30kph jogging. I haven't clocked him full out but I'm sure he could hit 40kph.

I do some processing on all my images due to my less-than-stellar camera, but it's usually limited to noise reduction, levels, and colour. The first pic is just Noise Ninja and a bit of saturation. The second one was Noise Ninja, saturation, an Overlay layer and I turned the felt to blue because it matched the tone of the picture better. The third was Noise Ninja as usual and a bit of burn to remove a white wire that happened to be on my desk at the time.

Your shots are fantastic! Was the second one shot on a white background, or was it edited?

[Newk]

I agree D'z I just took a look at you photo blog and it's very impressive. I dig your stuff too Bezerkercatsplat. I can only hope to be on that level one day.

mount the camera out the back of your jeep with no window in the way of course. Then drive + long exposure = sweet pic...lol

[Ekliptix]

Yea, I have an idea of how to do it. I'm looking for any decent locations that will give me similar light streaks up high and to the side.

[Moonracer]

huhu oh sorry I didn't see the "where" part. :angel:

[BerserkerCatSplat]

I'm guessing the high-up streaks come from lit overhead road signs, which are less than commonplace in Canada. You could try the big traffic safety sign on the way to Airdrie, it might work.

Thanks for the comments, guys!

CatSplat: It was shot in front of a window. The only editting that was done was desaturating it (original colour is the same as the first). Other than that, nothing was done.

Yeah, that one pano you can tell where the stitching is done. GREAT photo though!!

[BerserkerCatSplat]

Yeah, you can see the edge of the colour disparity in the middle-left, but it's still a very, very good picture!

[Newk]

I would say the untrained eye would never know the difference, I can barely see it and that was only after they told me where to look.

Great pics

I think maplelodge doesn't post pictures he's taken, he posts random pictures, like this one that I'm sure he didn't take either:

maplelodge: The point of the "monthly pictures" threads is for Beyond photographers and aspiring photographers to showcase their work, not just a place to post random images.

There is already a thread for random funny bits:

I got a Canon EOS 20D

Not that good at shooting, but trying!
