Newbie with some Photos (56k No no)

Paddy@CIRL

Afternoon Ladies & Gents & Fajitas,

I'm a 20year old BA Hons Visual Communications student from Waterford, inspired by photographers like Dino Dalle Carbonare, Reinhard Klein and Easton Chang. My main subjects are usually automotive but I do like to break from the mold every now and then and shoot something completely oppiste of what I usually shoot !

So, Just said I'd pop in and share a few photos I've taken over the last 12 months or so, hope you enjoy !!

Very nice! I especially like 3, 4, 6, 12 and 14.

Hmmm, may be my lotto numbers this week!

Gwan Paddy boi, bout time u joined up.

As always, class shots!!

Ruu_Old

Nice shots, in particular I like 4,5,7 and 9. Well done, keep it up

12 is incedible, I love it well done.

EDIT: Actually, my mind boggles at how you achieved that. Was there any photoshopping? If not then the only way I can think of is if it was a longish exposure where you were moving the camera in time to the vehicles but fast enough to blur the background...

Panning Zillah, same effect as http://www.flickr.com/photos/rymus/114790169/ (yes, pimping my own photos). My example isn't as good. Actually, you got it spot on with your guess. Not a very long exposure, just slow enough to blur the background while panning with the fast moving car.

My fav is the bmw pictured in what I can only presume is Tramore. It'd be nicer if there weren't any other cars in the shot though. Welcome to boards.

Thanks for sharing them ,great B&W's

Are they oh naturel or is there some touching,not that it matters there original.

Shrimp

some of them are pretty cool. Not a bad point, but they are heavily edited right?

Welcome to the board, Some great shots.

Really like the 4,12,13,14.

anyone wanna explain panning or give a decent link explaining?

fletch

Me likes 4.....but then again I think I just like the Z4....can I ask where do you get the cars to photograph or do you just keep your camera handy and if you see something, snap away?

Fajitas!

Ah Paddy just thinks he's decent :P

Great shots as usual Padjo.

Fenster

They look fantastic, in truth!

Asides from converting to B&W and level adjusment theyre all standard except number 12. From where I was standing a pan was impossible as they were straight in front of me travelling towards me if understand ? Just wanted something to liven it up as a good action shot, I can do pan shots tho !!



Thanks for all the welcoming comments !

Are you sure number 4 isn't artifically blurred a slight tad ?



The blur line by the bonnet seems to just 'appear' suddenly on the post by the prom, and the roof looks a bit soft compared to the rest of the car at the same focal length...

Time to sharpn up the photoshop skillz, Cossie

Senna's lid has to be my favourite, but thats probably more for personal reasons

I actually forgot I done that !!! Shaft, must go over it again, thats just a copy as far as I remember, reworked it at full res to as close to perfect as I can get !

I hang my head but again, some spot !!
