I've noticed on the pics forum here at MT alot of us love to take pics of our stangs. I am probably the one of the worst for snapping a pic at anytime. My wifes has a pretty good camera that does all kinda neat stuff. My paintshop skills are getting better but not as good as some of you guys . If you have paint or photoshop software show your stuff. did some on my night pics. (which BTW was long exposure using no flash). Mine ain't perfect but I think some input from everyone will help out all in taking some very fine pics of our cars. For some reason I just love night pics.

Here are 2 pics where I deleted the bushes using my clone tool. Not easy as it would seem. :

 

Very nice job. At first glance, I didnt even know what the difference was. Its not until you know where it is, and examine it that you can tell its been removed.

 

I always insert wrong, but heres a buddy of mine that has a band. before and after. Sorry for the quality, had to size it down to fit on screen.

Pointer, when cloning in stuff keep reselecting a new area to clone from so you dont get a pattern going like you have in front the car when you look closely, you can also try to select just that area with the freehand tool and blur it a lil. Also toy around with the healing brush tool, it can be a better tool to clone with.

 

These are kind of old but you get the idea of what I can do. There is a before picture in the corner of each image showing what it used to look like.

 

The F-150 is actually a wheel design contest I entered. The wheel you see is one I designed and is actually in production.

 

Some picture taking tips I have learned is be careful with shadows. I try to take my pictures in the middle of the afternoon when the sun is straight overhead and doesn't give any long shadows to your car. Use good backgrounds that are not to busy. Power lines for example. You don't want poles sticking out of the hood of your car. I like doing morning shots also because the sky is usually really nice. I know it is different in different places, but October here in Florida gives the best sky pictures because it starts turning pink, orange, purplish during sun sets and the humidity is low so everything is much crisper.

 

Man, how do you guys do that stuff??? Awesome pics. The Nascar truck was awesome. I'd almost pay someone to do some custom paint job ideas on photochop. Any takers??

 

The camber on that nascar looks weird in the front. Looks like the wheel is about to fall off due to the weight of the vehicle.

 

Has nothing to do with the weight. That is my old truck and it had air suspension and was body dropped. The wheels would camber in like that when I would lower it all the way and when I raised it up to drive they would straighten back out. The only changes in photoshop I did on that truck was the paint. Here is a better picture of the camber when it was all the way down.

 

I didn't say it had had anything to do with it, that is just what I think it looks like. We have alot of kids who put camber kits on their and **** it up at my school and my friends and I make fun of them, just joshing around saying it looks like your car is about to collapse. I know it doesn't have to do with the weight, it just looks it.
