Wouldn't that be... Overestimating?

You overestimated how fast the waves would be traveling... Hence why it was easier to capture the people at the speed with which the waves were actually traveling, which turned out to be slower than your original estimate. Hence, I'M RIGHT DAMMIT

I like what you've done with the sky, but I think you need to desaturate the yellow by a fair bit still. The picture as a whole looks a lot better, but I think that bringing the yellow under control would help it further.

cheers,

You like this better? Boiling it down to personal preference...I think I still like the additional yellow. There were lots of dandelions in the grass, which aren't that apparent because the grass is pushing the limits of the histogram.

The building looks better (still yellow in the shadows), but yeah you're losing the vibrance in your grass. Maybe separate layers for the building and the grass and adjust them separately? At any rate, you should go with what pleases you the most.

cheers,
scott

Bob, it looks good, there's just something off about it. I think it's because the levels of contrast really aren't uniform between the sky and the rest of the image i.e. the trees, and the brick on the house.

I don't know, Kyle. Bad composition, horrible high ISO noise and it's not very sharp. Worst of all, it's a Canon.

\:D

Is that the wide angle you wanted?

I love everything about that shot photo-wise, I just think it's too busy of a background for that particular car. It just get's lost. Now if the car was black it would work, but the red and white and everything about that particular car just gets lost IMO. Again I pretty much love it - great shot.

Actually that goes for the Suby pic too - I love everything but that car in the pic. It really needs a brighter color car IMO. Hell switch the two cars in each pic and I think they'd be badical awesomeness!!!

Hahaha, the suby one was supposed to blend in, but the second one I TOTALLY agree. I still love the shot regarless but the background clashes much too badly.

I'll post one of the suby in place of the red car in a second \:\) thanks for the critique! This tokina wide angle is SICK dude, if you EVER want UWA, this is the one to get, no doubt about it.

Another awesome pic!

I just want to know why I don't have such a kick ass place to take pictures of cars around here. So is that an old factory building?

Not too bad Kyle. I wish you had cleaned off the hood of the Subaru, unless that's just the actual condition of the clear coat lol... The 240 shot is a tad too wide. New lens is 11-16 you say? That (IMO) is way too wide to be used on cars, even on a cropped sensor. Also, watch the edges of your masks, I can see haloing... It's especially evident on the third pic. Tsk tsk tsk! Time to put down the Lightroom, and pick up the Photoshop. ;\)

I asked him about the suby's hood and immediately thought different of it. the whole scene is pretty beat up, and that's actually how the hood is--beat to shit \:\) it works for me.

Those were quick and dirties ;\) You'll never see halo's in my final images.

The hood is actually *that* beat. Car has ALL kinds of money in it, but the hood and trunk are old beat seibon garbage.

The lens I borrowed is the tokina 11-16mm f/2.8.

I LOVE IT, but it does need more range. It's epically sharp and REALLY well built though. A bargain for the price. I don't think its necessarily TOO wide, but it certainly does have limited uses with the narrow range.

The lens actually performs better than the Canon 10-22 in the edges. I just wish it had the extra 6mm \:\(

I really need to pick up a tamron 17-50 f/2.8 It would be a great car lens for me.

I like it Scott, but I am totally distracted by the arch in the background. I'm not one to edit others pictures, but might i suggest a crop that takes the sky out entirely? keeping just the bridge down in the frame?
