Mazda RX-8

A friend of mine (the dude sitting on the pipe), is selling off his sweet ride - so I volunteered to take some shots for posterity.

Great perspectives and colors. I'm sure your friend will love them. Err ... but your avatar is making me drool

Nice fluffy feel from the clouds...like the bluish hues of the sky too

yes.. but just a bit. i reduced the cyan and darken the sky to better compliment the red tones of the car. other than that.. the sky's color balance is pretty much untouched.

Actually, the price of the car has fallen quite a bit... I've seen 100k+ for a brand new one.

yep totally agreed. i should have turned the wheel to the left and made the compo more balanced.. i only realized this when i was processing the photos :cry:

Very nicely taken.

Thanks. Glad ya like it.

shot with wide angle lens. distortion, unless it is intended. i would have preferred it shot from a higher height so as to see more of the top of the car.

yep the distortion is intended, although i'm still not sure whether the effect is suitable. agreed some variety of shots would be nice. i have a couple shots taken from higher angle, close up shots of the steering, stickshift, engine, wheel, etc.. but I couldnt do enough justice to its forms, so i left them out. ;p

[raptor84]

[oTaRu]
