Had a little bit of time today and thought I would try some different post processing.

Putting lens flare to good use.

Looks great! One thing about lens flare is that it can easily add a lot of noise to the overall picture so it is kind of tricky to work against. The last picture looks killer, bright but not over-exposed. Do you have a circular polarizer lens filter? With that you can just about mute the vehicle reflection from an angle and it produces a different picture all together. Here is takedown's MM with a circular polarizer (http://jasonsautospa.com/spgm/gal/Mercury_Marauders/aie6.jpg). Notice how the hood isn't reflecting the blue sky like it normally would, giving the hood a darker look while still showing off the gloss on the passenger side. Twist it in a sun reflection and you've got a blue sun (http://jasonsautospa.com/spgm/gal/Mercury_Marauders/aie4.jpg). Keep up the good work Jeremy :beer:

That is one of the best angle shots I've ever seen for a MM. Really must make him glad he lowered the front end, just beautiful. :cool:

Your stuff is always great...inspiring to at least get a start on all there is to know about photography (Rider's post shows how there are a great many things to know and share about technique)....

Some of the stuff oldekid has been posting has me playing with software again to get some of those results in lieu of having a decent enough camera to pull of a clean pic to look at!

You know, another thing ocurred to me...sharp cars always look best in photos that have them where they "don't belong"....like in a sandpit near payloaders and stuff, or an abandoned factory, or the rail yard in Jeremy's pics...get's you looking at the car and the scene at the same time if you are easily amused like I am...
