Hi all, new to the forum but I thought I’d post up some pics I took a while ago of a car parked in the street.

D90, 18-200mm VR

Interesting colour in these, late arvo shots? Great to see someone posting pics nice and early. BTW: add a location to your profile (suburb, state)

You are correct it was late arvo when these shots were taken... Close to the beach in Inverloch :)

That there is a car :wink:

3 very nice and diverse shots, good to see 3 different images rather than 3 same same ones...
Composition wise I like them, each has its merits and can hold its own without excessive PP. The PP is a bit much for my liking, the green filter (or whatever it is) is a bit off putting. In nutshell I reckon backing off the strength of the PP by about 50% and they would be to my taste.

The vignetting in image 2 could be imporved by not applying it all corners of the image, don't be afraid to apply vignetting to only two or three corners. In this case I would leave the sky as it is since thats the first thing my brain went to rather than the car.

Welcome to the forum.

You have dealt with the highlights quite nicely!

I quite like your PP but as Gerry has mentioned, a slightly toned down version may be more appealing.
Can you tell us what you did to get this toning? Color channels? BTW: Nice ride. I hear the GTR is also primo.

Thanks for all comments, next time i'll go a little easy on the PP... :wink:

I've got the basic pre-sets saved in lightroom that i used on these photos... if you would like a copy just shoot me a PM with your email and i'd be more than happy to send them to you. :)
