Photographer saying Hi

[petemc]

Evening. I've spotted a couple of names I recognise here, SDK for one, so I figured I'd sign up. I'm a photographer from Merseyside. I've done a bit of car photography here and there from track days to general photoshoots. Basically I'm hoping there might be some very generous members who might fancy a free photoshoot. Time for prints. I get some cool shots to boost my portfolio, you get some cool shots to show off to who ever. Oh its meant to say "Photographer" not "Photography" saying hi. Haha yey me

Some examples of my work;





Yes I know its a crappy Corsa but I wanted to take the best photo of a Corsa possible. Why? Well I own one and got tired of everyone hating it so I wanted to make people go "Huh". Most people did, then "Still a crappy Corsa"







Some non-car shots;

Hey buddy, the game's up, you seem to have blocked yourself. Couldn't you have a word with yourself and see if you can give yourself a break?

Aw nuts. That image came up? Doh. The images were cached for me.

Ta. HDR (High Dynamic Range) in most of them. Allows you to bring back the shadows and highlights in the pictures.

PP = Post processing? I'm one of those people that believes post processing is as much as a requirement as the darkroom was.

Love this one - it has a sort of "painted" look to it, and the block on the far right has his head at an amazing angle - what a fantastic composition.

Any chance you could post up the original out of the camera? I'd love to see what you've changed.

I'm intrigued - I'm looking into trying a few HDR images myself, but the methods I have seen tutorials for all need a tripod and still-life type of photo (e.g. the car and building shots you've got here).

However, it looks like you've got an HDRed sky on the last picture of the demonstrators - how'd you do that then?

Very nice work by the way!

They are fantastic photos. I like the WTF Mondeo, but the S2000 is incredible.
