pjay 8 Report post Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) ***Resized pictures Well it was my birthday today, and i got a digital camera, so I went for a drive and had a wee shoot. 10 points if anybody can guess where i was.. Will take somebody thats quite familiar with the spot to know, i made sure i used the trickier pictures Used iPhoto and some other image thingy software to fiddle with the saturation, contrast and exposure among other things. I've never edited photos before so constructive criticism welcomed. I used the G5 as I dont have any editing software on any of the PC's Edited December 3, 2008 by Pjay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yuen 16 Report post Posted December 3, 2008 Looks really good! Re photos - tone down the saturation, and for the first pic it would be good to reduce the exposure (I'm guessing exposure was increased in post processing?), either that or take the photo from a different angle next time with the sun behind you.

pjay 8 Report post Posted December 3, 2008 I dont mean the red looks bad, i'm meaning the way you've edited the 4th picture. Thats more over exposed than saturated. Notice the blurred edges too? Was going for a days of our lives dreamy look. Love that programme What happend to the E46 wheels that used to be on it? They're in my basement, want to replace all the tyres and have them gouge repaired + painted. I didn't know they were E46 wheels? I just knew they were BMW stamped but had no idea what they were off Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pjay 8 Report post Posted December 4, 2008 Nope, had a friend run over them at firestone and they check out a-ok Only thing odd about them is the tyre pressure was up at 45psi on one tyre. Meh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
