What have you done to your car today?

[Guest]

need a polarizing filter to reduce your reflections :P dont know hoe you would do that on a P&S

i always sharpen, the image sensors on cameras have a layer on them for something (ive forgot what lol not the IR filter, something else) and it softens the photos you take, different cameras have different thickness layers so it effects some more than others.

sadly mine has one of the thickest :'(

You do it to a p&s by throwing it in the bin and getting a real camera ;D Once I actually HAVE money (ZOMG!) I'm getting me a Canon 40D

[ReubenH]

I still use my good ol powershot G5. Canon make solid camera's. Anyone wh's seen it will hve noticed it's dent, it got hit by a bloody yacht boom.

Yet still takes nice photo's:

[Guest]

oohhh if you have polarizing sun glasses, you could hold the lens of that in front of your camera lens

amy - a pro might not use brightness/contrast, but it would also seem a pro cannot tell when her own pic is devirginalised ps do you work on marua rd?

nice edit reuben. personally looking at the original i would have changed the hue on the cyan highlights to a darker blue

[Shale]

I didn't look at them other than thumbnails My PC doesn't have Photoshop on it, it's also a virgin. Or was, until recently ;D

The original is full of cyan tho ain't it?

And yes, I work on Marua Rd...hopefully not for much longer

Change hue of the cyans...

I just opened up hue and saturations... And whadaya know, that drop down menu lets you mess with only the cyans. Brilliant!

I just learned something bout PS. cheers for that. ;D

Edit:

Fucken eh, that's a GOOD trick!

Before/after

how'd you do that?

[Guest keltik]

Made up a new front Y section. Took all of the cats out and didnt bother putting a resonator in. Will have to wait till i get back from the south island to fix it up.

[Guest]

what about just putting a hole in it?

You didn't know you could do that?

Hurm >D

I would have just cranked out the cyans to a lighter but nearly completely desaturated hue so it took on a more natural reflection from the original... the after shot 404'd so I can't tell if that's what you did or not

This is a series of shots that would benefit from being almost completely greyscale, monotone, or overkilled on the saturation IMO :3 Since we are talking photosnot.

[evoetr]

Looked and waved @ it as i drove passed it @ Oil changes today.

[WRXER]

+1 but got some new gloves and snowboarding boots instead.

[pl0x]

looked at it sitting dead on my lawn :'( , now waiting for battery & coolant to turn up

[madmike]

Dropped of QYKCHK's sti at the stereo shop to get front components fitted and complete system tune....

Picking it up at 5... Can't wait!!!

[Swindog]

Your paying someone to fit the stereo. Your mad!

Anyone know how to tune a stereo. Its easy as.

[R.D]

are they installing a graphic equalizer in order to tune? i've never heard of car audio 'tuning' as such.

[Guest]

depending on the sterio, you can do alot of tuning to them, just adjusting the frequencys for the speakers etc etc, i used to have a cd with tuning tones on it, may still have it, not sure.

-smurff

[madmike]

Its been fitted with a new head unit and rear speakers(by myself)

Just sent it to the shop to get the front components fitted.

She wanted a total stealth install which required some cutting in the doors ( Don't have the tools for that.)

And the tune

Well..

You have adjustable crossovers for the front, Rear and getting the subs frequency setup for the car..

+The head unit also has its own sets of graphic EQ's

It already had 2x Rockford P1's and amp fitted a couple of years ago by me.

So yeah... Getting it tuned...

[Guest lan_killa]

any audio system needs to be tuned... but you need to have a good ear for it and know what your doing. Anyone can install an audio system and get a LOUD sound from it, but it will probably be an average sound at the higher volumes, which is where the tuning comes into it, get it right and youll be able to wind the volume knob right to the end and have smooth crystal clear sound

[madmike]

Mate used to compete in sound quality sound comps with his car..

The difference between a "tuned" system and a "chucked in go loud" system is huge..

[Guest lan_killa]

Agreed
