Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.
Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.
Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

So ive been playing around with shooting cars at night lately, and using undercover carparks with some lighting in them until i get myself a better kit  Shot at F/4.0 and 1/80 using the Canon 18-55 IS on a 400d Canon with a 580 EX II, removed the front plate, after i saved this i noticed how dirty my screen was and touched it up, looks better now, this is still the original so there are still swirl marks etc where the plate should be, removed a bright reflection from the bonnet, other than that and the crop, its as it came from the camera.... I do have a Hi Res Version but i havnt hosted it anywhere yet, if people want it, ill put it up C&C welcome! Life is all about ass, you're either covering it, laughing it off, kicking it, kissing it, busting it, trying to get a piece of it, or behaving like one

Not being an expert on vehicle photography, however I reckon a bit of PP on the colour of the headlight light (does that make sense?) to make it more of a halogen (white/blue) colour would make a difference. This would match better with the silvers and greys of the car. The current yellow colour reminds me of my crappy ford lights....  Just a thought tho, feel free to ignore

Better globes, better lights, i prefer the good white lights in cars anyway, cant be bothered converting it to the HID Halogen stuff, so just some good globes for now, but i will certainly play with the white balance in those areas, see what i can come up with..... Another from the session in the meantime, i just have to sort out the short depth of field, and try give it some more on these ones.....  Edit: Can anyone tell me the best way to go about changing the white balance, or giving the headlights a more blue/white colour in a .PSD image in CS3, after playing with thiis, i have realised i will need to play with the reflections on the front bar as well to make it look right, any ideas?

Quick way is to create a new layer - adjust it and then use a mask to "paint through" the effect you want on to the original..
