July Photo Thread

[89CAL]

I've had a quick play with a few photos, only really playing with the settings in Photoshop, cant really think of ways to make them look cool at this time of night.

Grand Palace, Bangkok:

POW Cemetry for Death Railway:

Bridge over River Kwai (removed some of a tree from the top of photo, can kinda notice):

Another Tiger cub, Rescued this photo as it was way to dark:

Bangkok Skyline from Scirocco Sky Bar:

So if anyone has any ideas on how to improve this I'd be happy to hear them, I tried using a B&W effect on the grave and just having the purple flowers in colour but this didnt look right

Spot color is really hard to get good results from. Have a go at a de-saturated look. So not quite B&W, but tone down the colors a bit. Not sure if it will work, but worth a try.

Got some new wheels the other day. Was an absolute bargain. So cheap to get around on, just cant carry a whole lot, lol. Also slows right down going up big hills, but you get that. Better than not being able to go out at all cause it costs too much to fill up the elgrand, lol.

The flame sticker makes it for me I had one years ago and painted it army cammo. was rad. twisted the frame jumping it though tip from matty: Don't do massive jumps on it. small ones are ok

p.s. i got my light the other day. just need to make a battery pack for it now and i'm ready to rock. might visit jaycar today for some bits.

a couple from Fappy's S15.

Sweet ride

is that more crazy light effects in the background

is this kinda what you mean with the effect? Probably not exactally but anyway

Photo from a 21st, its a bit blurry otherwise this probably would have been a great photo:

Wow... so many amazing photos this month. Nice work guys!

My wife likes the walking dead. She says how scary some of the scenes are at night time... so showed her how 'scary' she can look

This ain't scary compared to when I'm in trouble

haha, i wouldnt feel confident enough to jump a step through frame. it still feels weird not standing on pedals or footpegs.

i did do a little burnout on it today tho, just a quick one as it was in the driveway. looking forward to doing a proper smoking tyreshredder soon tho, need a new front tyre anyway, so going to chuck it on the back and see if i can pop it

cant wait to see what these RBG strips can do in the hands of a decent photographer, i reckon we will be seeing some epic stuff soon

Walking dead is rad. Season 3 is going to even better!

Shoot from last week:

yeah, just walked past it with the LED stick.

sort of. i had a try with it and wasnt too sure if it was what i had in mind at all. i think converting it to b&w might be worth a try.

kory, love the colors in that shot, awesome dude. only thing i could think of that would improve the shot is a tiny bit of light on the ground to give the car/tyres some seperation from the background. any other color and it wouldnt be an issue at all, but with the black on black it starts to dissapear into the background a bit. other than that its perfect. unless its just my monitor being a bit too dark?

yep that is one cool shot! can't wait to see the rest of the set!

I got to break out the lights last (last) weekend on the silvia shoot. Forgot how much fun painting is! It's like your god! 100% control of the light and the image. well maybe not a god but more like a painter than a photographer. Your not capturing, but more creating. Love it.

[FST513]

Thanks Jay On my monitor it is pretty separated. I found that on my work monitors also. Might do a test print and see how it is then, but thanks for the feedback! If the test print is sh!t, then i will give it some light. So hard to work with a black and white car lol.

Your trippy ass backgrounds and images are starting to make me feel like i'm high 24/7 hahaha. Loving it.

Matt - Sweet lighting and photo. Although i said on Hardtuned, not sure if i like the flare top right..... it's starting to grow on me a bit!

Some shots from Driving sports drifting.

Shooting at 1/10th trying some new stuff

haha, yeah its a bit noisy like this >.<

i plan on doing a restoration on it, after I do a series of night shots of it in various locations.

sweet action shots!

[MaTBoY]

cheers g.

i sent a message to the drift mag saying they're mag could be better.. if it had me covering sydney action'. He said it was a trial mag to see if there was demand for it. do u know if it sold well enough for them to keep pumping out more issues?

lol, i have no idea how well it sold. i only know that pretty much all of the content was donated and not paid for. probably a good thing but you and Kory should definitely be covering Sydney action

eeek, double post

this little old bike is getting around

and a couple more from the same night

I think I blew out the foreground a bit on this one. Damn reflective frost, lol

[MaTBoY]

Some more night shots/details on Andrew's S15. Set is almost complete now I think. Only a handful more shots.

and den... (this is about 90% in camera across a couple exposures)

[FST513]

Matt the drift king!

Still can't get over those plates haha. So rad.

Good lighting, looks much better than last year this time which is a good thing.
