This is what I have (taken with samsung phone).
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...8&d=1324320419 Takes fantastic pictures, only 6 megapixels. Paid a fortune for it at bestbuy. Never learned how to use it to its max capabilities. Use the long lens for the track usually and the speed of the cam is amazing. The quality alone is amazing but again, i am full on amateur. http://www.gtcars.ca/images/autoslal...kville-048.jpg http://www.gtcars.ca/images/autoslal...kville-021.jpg http://www.gtcars.ca/images/applewoo...192009-001.jpg http://www.gtcars.ca/images/foxbody-...2008-00064.jpg |

I don't call myself a photographer really, I just like to mess around with it all. I've learned quite a few things from my buddy Darryl, he owns and runs killboy.com . Also if I want any baller pictures I just give him a shout :) Please explain more about post processing with CS5 and what not because I would agree with the above. If you post process, then you really haven't captured what you intended. I'm not saying the end result isn't art. I just think it sorta defeats the point. How do all of you use post processing to "enhance" your photography? |

Even the greatest photographer will edit photos. I typically just levels and curves, maybe some color correction and removing artifacts. Most things I post are straight camera, but when I get a really good shot, I'll clean it up.
here's an example: This is my processed shot: http://www.boostedmiata.com/gallery2...2/DSC_0598.jpg and straight camera: https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...1&d=1324330267 |
I don't post process much.
sometimes your camera just can't nail the white balance or you can't get a perfect exposure or you're just too far away with your zoom so you have to: tweak white balance for skin tones stretch out the histogram to lighten a dark photo crop a shot to get rid of crap or "digitally zoom" adding some subtle vignette to draw focus to the center of a photo post processing is legit if used sparingly. people do this all the time digitally AND in the photo lab. but it's not a replacement for quality composition! also remember: you can not reliably darken a blown out photo the way you can lighten a dark one. the dynamic range between the whites is not a great as between the grays and blacks. |

How do all of you use post processing to "enhance" your photography? composition (location of the camera and how the subject was photographed to a degree) proper exposure (if it is blown out the shot is not savable, same goes for if it is too underexposed) using too high of an iso improper focus (you can fake it a little with ps but you can never save a shot that you/your camera missed the focal point) Things that I do all the time in ps: nitpick on how level a shot is or centering of a subject remove annoying little things (artifacts, rogue cigarette butts, ect) tweak curves, color, saturation, and contrast to get the feeling of the shot perfect. Also ps is a great way to experiment with new ideas. |

Unfortunately, I liken this to lab created vs real gemstones. Lab created look fantastic because they are vibrant, flawless, and are real on a molecular level. However, I prefer gemstones that aren't lab created or enhanced. The flaws are part of the stone, and the flawless are when everything comes together perfectly. Then again, art is art, so having a bunch of bitchen photos can certainly be better than waiting a lifetime for the "perfect" shot. Anyway I won't side track this thread anymore than I already have. I'm still in for all the tech stuff. |
gemstones are cut from imperfect clumps of mineral crystals in a lab... they dont come out of the ground in a round brilliant cut.

The only somewhat decent or interesting pictures I have on this HD are from last years track day at Barber. And these are more documentary than artistic.
