TTQ B4U Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Nice shots. If you get a chance to use a longer zoom or shoot with a wider aperture and a ND Filter if needed, you'll really get the images to "pop" by blurring the background and maintaining focus on the car. Here's a few Pshoped edits showing the impact. http://www.pbase.com/timothylauro/in_box Looks like a good time for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
