Few days ago I just had mood to hang around and make some pictures... Car is just very poorly washed (so not also polished as usual). Result is pictures are not that good as should be. Anyway still would like to share with you. Hope you do not mind .

Looking good as always man

No, no, I do not mind.

I never mind seeing pictures of your "Poorly Washed" Car.

x2 - poorly washed my arse.

Great scenery too, Martin!

Beautifull car man, enjoy this car.

Thank you all for comments. Car is really not perfectly clean. You still can count flies on the bumper or hood. With polishing it would look even for grade better... imagine this shine:



...in that scenery made by decent camera (not by phone as above) + bit photoshop work .

..the above photos are from your PHONE camera?!!!!

Seriously...? What phone/application are you using for those shots??

My bad English... I should write "not by phone as in this post" because what I wrote should be understood in two ways .

Pictures in my first post are made with common camera (3years old Olympus 650UZ) that second is by my cellphone (Nokia N97). my point to say was:

If I prepared my car better for photo-session it would look much better. I'm not extra good photographer. I alway make pictures on "full automatic" mode because do not know what to set on my camera and how anyway. What I like is "contrast" in the picture that is why I prefer places dirty, old, rusty, places to make natural contrast with polished shiny car. Plus in PSP (Corel - Pain Shop Pro) I raise contrast in photography as well. Not necessary to the same level in all parts of the picture. Usually background less than the car it self. Anyway. In first post I made pictures like this (in this way). Except polishing of the car. That time was only washed.

Second post is showing picture as left camera (better say phone in this case ). No playing with contrast in PSP to show the difference. Perfectly cleaned and polished. Car prepared like that on the right place with camera (not phone) in my hand and PSP playing would give much better results in the end. That should be my message and sorry for confusion.

Note: to understand better what I do with pictures in PSP. This is example how much I usually change that contrast in photography...

Original piece



And PSP edited...

Wow man, wow.
I used to use a 600UZ before i bought my DSLR.

Some shots came out really good, but these are awesome from a point and shoot camera.
Your editing skills are pretty mint.

Whos to care if a P&S Camera Plus editing = A DSLR photo. At least your enjoying it

I thought that might have been what you meant, but I wasn't sure. It's more of a grammar difference (between what you're used to and English) rather than English itself. I understand. I still maintain that you have a fair bit of natural photo talent, I've never seen a "bad" picture from you.
