Tigawoods' 1995 Celica, Racing n Stuff Options

[Box]

If it was UPS field I'd be worried.

[Tigawoods]

first official day back on the track and sadly is the last race of the year

I didnt really push the car as much as I should of and fell short of 1st place by .200 seconds

BUT!

BOY oh BOY does that LSD paired with the new tires help.
I wish I was able to compare it more closely with how the car was before the year off, but I am sure there is a significant difference.

Now I have 7 DAMN months till race season again!!

Go broke, or go home. Man, sucks to lose by such a narrow margin.

thank ya brotha!


I am practicing on different lighting techniques and editing in PS. Looking to try too see if I can start editing to make brochure looking photo's
like such

probably means I need a newer camera also

[JoshuaM]

1DX go!

Haha, looking good as always

[Tigawoods]

sadly Itll probably just be the 1DsMk3

Unless if Canon gets off their ass and releases another 1D so the 1DX can drop $5000 but that will be very unlikely

Go old school and find a Polaroid to use.

Go old school and find a Polaroid to use.

that would be a considerably cheaper option.

but quality WOULD take a dive

A dive upwards, yes. The picture of the BMW you posted doesn't even look real anymore, it looks like a drawing. I looked into it awhile back and there are some high grade Polaroids out there, then of course you have the professional analogue cameras which far surpass the quality of a Polaroid or anything else. Digital has still yet to match the quality of analogue, though the convenience and price of digital is really hard to pass up. I like the pictures you can get from a high quality Polaroid camera, plus there are lots of neat things you can do to edit them hands on. After that can scan them into a computer and go even further with Photo Shop. Just something to consider, there are lot of options out there these days. I like digital cameras, but like what you posted I don't even understand the point of having an expensive digital only to Photo Shop the Hell out of it and make it look like a drawing...

[Tigawoods]

Film is great and all. I love shooting with my Medium Format bodies..for fine art. But its just asinine to use it for car photo's at least for me.

Digital is the only sensible option for this.

[Box]

Mortgage your house and buy a top of the line Large Format camera, then you can take wonderful pictures of your newly mortgaged house.

If you're going to be Photo Shop heavy on the pictures, perhaps a cheaper camera would do? One of the days I'll replace the 7.1MP Canon I have, but it still works so I don't see the point since I don't do anything professional with it. That and I'm terrible when it comes to actually using cameras as an artistic tool versus just using them as a scientific tool.

DP strikes again...
