And finally, as the picture taker, I am given a glow. GhostHunter is on the case:


And yeah, the car got a major wash and wax after I got home. 4.5 hours of driving and my average mpg was 25.2. I should have a green glow!

 

very nice work

 

very cool

 

Beautiful shots. I love the gloomy sky of the PNW.

 

love the 2nd to last pic!

 

Thanks everyone! I like them too, but I need to avoid overdoing the HDR... I'll take an HDR break over the weekend......... maybe.

 

What is HDR and how is it done? Those pictures are really cool cartoony as my son would say.

Where is the Really Fast Car?

 

DO i see a Nike plate? would you work there? Or a very good supporter of Nike?

 

Good one, Mark.

This is what I found on HDR: "In simple layman terms: High Dynamic Range. The ability to take a series of different exposures of the same scene and combining them in post processing so basically all the image is properly exposed." Or if I were to define it, you basically take two or more pictures of the same thing with different settings and combine them into one image which usually looks kinda funky if not done right.

 

I'm an employee and a very good supporter.
I don't think a whole lot of my paycheck gets past the employee store. The picture of me above has me head-to-toe in company product, and that's pretty typical for me.

I drink the kool-aid all day every day...

 

The best and highest use of the HDR I've found is on www.stuckincustoms.com . He has the "HDR Tutorial" link on the right. My tool, and the general HDR tool of choice is a software app called Photomatix that can work with one .RAW or several .RAW or other format photos. I generally bracket the appropriate exposure by 1.5-2 stops on either side. Occasionally I'll do 5 or 6 exposures.

My criteria for "really fast" is that its faster than a 993 Turbo S beetle.

 

lol, now you have to come up to Washington for a drive. I have got to see this one!

 

I like this guy's work as well. He's pretty active on VWVortex with some great shots...

that is a great perk..along with what I always heard, a great company to work for. I had some friends over the years work at Nike and loved. I enjoyed the employee store passes.....damn i miss those passes

the Shots looks great..funny though it almost makes your jacket look like a ADIDAS jacket

 

Hey Bruce,

If any of you guys are in Portland and want to swing out to Beaverton for a while, PM me. You don't need to miss the passes

Yeah that NIKE ACG logo has a really crappy triangular look to it, doesn't it?
