The Ultimate Visual Echo - LotusTalk

VisualEchos · 01-26-2009, 06:55 PM

I take a lot of pix, and in the interest of cleanliness I'll simply update this thread instead of creating endless new ones.

First shot, spot-color composite HDR (sorry about it being in the garage, we're in the middle of an ice storm)...

charliex · 01-26-2009, 07:04 PM

nicely done.

VisualEchos · 01-27-2009, 05:32 PM

Thanks man

Aedo · 01-27-2009, 06:47 PM

Cool

sponge · 01-27-2009, 07:35 PM

nice!

Thomasio · 01-27-2009, 11:16 PM

That looks quite nice. Can you post a reference photo (non HDR) for comparison?

VisualEchos · 01-28-2009, 05:32 AM

Sure, let me see if I can get to that tonight

trfewfe · 01-28-2009, 06:14 AM

That looks really choice, is this a service you provide to enhance images that are already provided to you?

VisualEchos · 01-28-2009, 11:45 AM

No, I'm just an amateur photographer, but I'd be happy to help you with a pic if you have one that needs something.

trfewfe · 01-28-2009, 12:15 PM

Great, I'll take you up on that once the car comes out of its hibernating nest for the winter. I hoping maybe something trick will jump out with the color shifting paint and the echo effect.........

VisualEchos · 01-28-2009, 04:06 PM

Straight out of the camera...

HDR...

Thomasio · 01-29-2009, 07:29 AM

Incredible! Which looks truer to your eye?

slaughtr · 01-29-2009, 08:19 AM

I like that it makes the car look much cleaner. Instead of washing my Elise, I'll just HDR it from now on.

Neither really, the flash kills everything, and the HDR enhances color (and I B&W'd everything besides the body).

I'll have some decent pix when I get decent weather...haha. Be patient

VisualEchos · 02-01-2009, 01:37 PM
