Holy crap man, 11 is awesome!!

as too is 7 and 10.

Your last set is impressive too for someone whos starting with static photos. Dig the hachi rolling shot (#2) It's a bit cliche (every mag has at least one shot like it) but i still love them so i don't care!!

Top work man as always!

The circuit magazine really does have some nice articles!

You've done a great job with the lighting aswell very moody. Nice PP aswell smile.gif

Post #114

thanks Chris...were really hoping it takes off.... the big difference the mag has over your generic car mag is that it focuses on the people behind the cars rather then just the cars...

i was trying to make the car all moody and aggressive as it is a 400kw monster lol...its was good practice and a great start...but there is lots of improving to come smile.gif

That cover shot is HOT


IMO the cover image looks better than the one you posted previously. In the post his jeans look weird and on my lcd there's like a halo around them faintly too.

I was wondering who did that add on the 2nd page of the e-mag? obviously 'shopped but is it your image and they've used it on an advertisement or what? I see them in mags and often wonder.

i noticed this on my g/f laptop aswell...but not on my lcd...weird... my photoshop skills still need alot of improvement lol

i took the photo of the gtr and the r colt in the advertisement... however i didn't do the photo shop work... im yet to have time to process that but im going to try later today..

Love pic 1 and 11

Post #120

something to try! Most of your pics are following the car and it being in focus. try a few snaps with the race track in focus with the car looking like its flying. Might be a little tricky capturing the car in the shot when the camera is still but give it a go...

matt mead
Post #121

nizpro: that pretty easy to do but the only reason i dont really do it is because our race tracks are really quite ugly lol..but ill try and do one at the next even that im doing which is this saturday smile.gif

Post #124

Post #125

Photo shoot of the R34 looks cool with the second shoot i like the desat but i personally feel just a little bit more colour mostly the blue of the car would be good but yeah i'm just an average punter so what would i know.

matt mead
Post #126

i agree panda to a certain extenet, the editor of the mag had alittle influence on the darkness of that shot...

I like the one looking at you. I am not a fan of angles thou. Its overdone plus it hurts my neck. I like the distance shot, maybe if you could hide one flash behind the pole, and the other else where, it could be an awesome shot!

Post #135

I like those shots and I don't mind the angles.

Clone out the flash, would be easy!

Well i went out to take some happy snaps on Saturday of the circuit club guys, it was good to bring some of the skill ive been trying to practice into an event coverage...and im pretty happy with the results... all shots where taken using canon 350d and 55-250is lense with an 0.6 UD filter on for the slower shutter stuff.
