[Clart]

nice, although the distortion is too much IMO. Dirty sensor on number 9?

 

[unofficialPete]

[planetx]

just had a SB80 off camera and gave most shots 15 secs and 8 "blips" of flash.


bit hit and miss with reflections etc etc

 

[theduck]

Have to agree with the distortion! Dont remember it being that bad on the Oly 8mm fisheye

 

[Hazza]

You have got some talent there Planet!

 

[Rich]

Wow - stunning shots

 

[planetx]

I get the rants about distortion.

This lense is 180 degree diagonal...non rectilinear so it is expected to bend like a banana,
Most circumstances I would go for a medium telephoto, in order to eliminate perspective distortion but this was the look my friend wanted.
.....In this such case he was the client...what the client wants the client gets!!!!

I think every lense has its place, as long as you know how to use each one to its best advantage....afterall it is all about experimenting and having fun....and its FREE.

Still stumped about my so called "dirty" sensor???.....I have 10 x 15 prints next to me and still can't spot what Clart is on about....anyone else see it in pic 9??

Here is a good bedtime read if you are bored, it might explain why your Oly 8mm differs to what I am using.

[Schweppy]

^ Nope, just spent 10 minutes trying to find it!

Stunning shots mate. I'm still learning and would love a fisheye!

You reckon its worth getting a 50mm macro lens then?

 

[jayxx83]

stunning shots as always. how you do the engine through bonnett.

 

[Justin]

superb!

 

[f0xy]

awesomeness

 

[Revels]

Great shots, love the one of the rim.

Only thing id say is try to get a bit lower, Im sure someone (ukaskew I think) on here said that the whole roof shouldnt be in shot as it looks better..

 

[Marky_]

I don't see any spots on 9. Dirty monitor?

Great set.

 

[planetx]

Revels...shooting vehicles is a whole new ball game to me and I will most definitely take on that little bit of advice.

Thanks.

The reason I like post on here is it is good to have you lot rip them to pieces first and to see how Non-pro Photographers see things ( trying not to sound patronising )
If I do stuff like this in the office...my boss just says "NICE AND SHARP".."GOOD COLOURS"

 

[planetx]

Thats What I thought....or he is yet to realise the white spots are STARS???

 

[Sarah]

only scooby to have imo well maybe at a push a p1

 

[planetx]

It really is an AWESOME car...the power is so smooth...and plenty of it.
But the design and colour of the car is very understated for a Scooby.

Ferrari chaser

 

[churchillious]

[Jungle_Jim]

excellent pictures buddy, did you much / any post production on them

 

[planetx]

apart from the obvious engine bays and black & white not really.
I controlled the light with the flashgun.

 

[spirez]

Mint pics.

The only one i'd say the distortion looks out of place on is the night shot with the lighthouse

that is probably my worst shot of the night...rushed it me thinks.

Definateley one not making it into my Portfolio.

 

[Tigger]

WOW! stunning shots mate
How do you do the stars and the engine bay trick?

 

[planetx]

Stars?? what do you mean?

The engine bay is easy.

Take 2 pics on a Tripod, 1 with the bonnet raised and 1 with the bonnet closed.
Load both images into PS and move the 1 with the bonnet closed onto the 1 with the bonnet open ( ensure you hold the shift key when moving the image.)
Then apply a vector mask to the top image , select the brush tool ..making sure black is the foreground colour and just rub through what you want to show through from the bottom layer.

Very simple to do.
