Black, Red & Blue

[Jekyll]

Today i met up with Ian (Nightrider Renault) and he's wife Suzanne (on her lunch break!) to get some photos of their 197's and my 182. We found and industrial estate to get the trio pics, but when Suzanne had to go back to work me and Ian took a little drive and ended up on a nice little park for the UR and BG pics

Hope you enjoy and as always c&c welcome

As good as ever, Mark

 

[Rob]

Very nice indeed. You're getting the hang of this photography lark for sure.

 

[Jekyll]

Cheers guys Still a complete newbie when it comes to stuff like this but i enjoy it

 

[DaveDreads]

Good day for it, I still think yours is the best by far though.

 

[ScarySquirrel]

All three cars look awesome, particularly like the blue 197

 

[Wick]

Lol'd at number 10 in your flickr stream! Makes the 182 look like a matchbox car!

 

[Duffman_172]

Nice pictures, love the blue 197, had one in a work once, wish I had the money to buy it at the time!

 

[markhinton]

Love your 182, Mark!

 

[.Adam.]

LOVE that UR197. Amazing.

 

[Jekyll]

Cheers for all the comments guys Both both 197's are mint and have recently been treated to cup spoilers

 

[Christopher]

Awesome. Love them all.

Are my eyes broken or is the 200 a better looking car than the 197 nowadays? :S

197's don't look as aggressive as I remember.

 

[walkie86]

Nice cars and photos!

I would desaturate the Cyan from the cars though - use a mask to maintain it in the background but remove, say 50-75% of it from the cars themselves. This is, of course, harder to do with the cyan (FRB) coloured car but just play around with it to get it where you like.

Also, what lense are you using? For the single car shots I would use as low an aperture as possible to get that nice bokeh in the background

 

[Jekyll]

Thanks

I must admit when the 200's first came out I didn't like them at all but they have really grown on me.

Still got a soft spot for the 197's though and Ian's and Suzanne's are great examples

 

[Jekyll]

Thanks Walkie I need info like this as I'm a complete novice and it gives me some info to go on.

Kit was Nikon d3100
18-55vr lens
one of those wide angle lenses that you screw on your existing lens. I found with that, the pics don't come out as sharp.

 

[walkie86]

Nice. From what I've seen, and I'm a Canon man so not heaps, but the Nikon kit lenses seem to be heaps better than the Canon ones and the photos are very sharp but sometimes over-saturated.

What kind of post-processing have you done?

I'm a complete novice too - all self-taught, playing around with photoshop and looking at tutorials on the net! By no means is what I say 100% gospel, it's just the style I like

[Sir_Dave]

182 looks tiny compared to the 197's!!!

Although they are on stilts lol ...

Lovely pictures though.
