What apature and shutter speed ect was used in the above pic?

[Russ]

Fairly certain it was 30 & 1.8. Possibly 50 & 1.8. ISO was probably around 400.

Can't remember. With most shots, if I'm not rushed, I'll take a couple with different settings, and then one on Auto - just to be sure I get the look I want. Can't always be certain looking at the LCD screen. Need to get me one of those magnifying view-finders.

Then i play with them in either Lightroom or Photoshop, which definitely alters the setting perception.

Just checked the file info (forgot the camera stores it on the image).

App: 1.8
S/Speed: 1/30
ISO: 200

[Detailed]

Thanks Russ looks good.

I heard but am yet to try a higher ISO setting and doing HDR with it apparently can give a really old picture look.

Ill have to sus it out though the guy isnt the most reliable source.

[Russ]

Not sure what that person is talking about, but there are much better way's to go about getting an older looking picture.

The higher the ISO, the more sensitive the image becomes to light - the more light, the grainier an image potentially becomes. Once an image has a certain amount of visible grain, it's very hard (re: impossible) to properly go back. To get the best image you can, you'll want the ISO to be as low as possible.

Getting an older aesthetic to an image is something you'll want to tackle in post-processing - Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom etc. Such unique & specific looks are very hard to do straight out of the camera - and truth be told 99.9% of cameras don't have the manual controls to allow you do anything like that anyway - unless you go out and buy an actual old camera and a roll of film.


If you don't mind me asking, what Camera do you have and do you use any kind of software? (not MS Paint) :D

[Detailed]

I have cs4 design pack and a cannon d500 with two lenses and tripod want to buy a lens with a low aperture soon though. What do you use for a dated effect?

[Russ]

Cool. That was my last camera.

CS4 Design pack has Photoshop right? if so, you're golden.

Here's a few of the above shot, that took me all of 2 minutes in Photoshop using this tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4x8G707HgY4

They're quick & nasty and took mere moments to do. You spend some time fooling around with Photoshop and you can create some fantastic looking images.

If you ever want to know how to do something, chances are someone has put up a tutorial on Youtube. A great way to learn without all the guesswork.



With the Canon 500d you can save in the RAW format. They're big and eat up a lot of memory card space - but it gives a much better platform to work with when trying to create something in PS.



And another question ... do you know anything about picture styles on your Camera, and have you changes them at all?

If not, I'll run you through it. Very simple, and again, it'll allow you to get to much better finished product.

...or maybe something vintagey like this:

[blackoutsteve]

Kodachrome! :D

[Detailed]

Howd you do that vintage looking one! that wicked

Yea i save all mine as RAW and convert to JPEg when i need.

CS4 design suite has photoshop illustrator fireworks and other things.

I dont know hwo to change my camera setting if you do thats great would love to hear :P

[Russ]

If you shoot in RAW, there's no need to change Picture Style as the RAW format doesn't use them. The image quality is only effected by the ISO, shutter speed etc.

Picture Styles are only used if you're saving straight to JPEG, as they allow the camera to do some on-board processing before compression.

Each picture style setting: Standard, Profile, Landscape, etc, has a different Sharpness, Contrast & Saturation combination that gives each photo a unique look.

If you're shooting RAW though, those settings are bypassed - and you do all your adjustments in post-processing.


If you plan on shooting video though, you should change them if you want maximum processing abilities later on.



In your cameras menu you will find Picture Style.

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d99/rookskickz/MyPhotography/Canon-PS-1.jpg


Click on it and you get a few options: Standard, Profile, Landscape, Faithful, Neutral, Monochrome + 3 User Defined settings.

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d99/rookskickz/MyPhotography/Canon-PS-2.jpg


Click on the User Def. 1 and edit it like so: Select the Neutral picture style, then turn both the Sharpness & Contrast all the way to the bottom, and turn Saturation down 2 notches.

[Bluntman]

Howd you do that vintage looking one! that wicked



A really easy way to do a basic old photo in photoshop is....
Go to "image - adjustments - hue/saturation" and slide the saturation slider down. Gives a nice washed out colour look anyone can do.

[Detailed]

Thanks Russ appreciate it heaps.

I will give that a go Craig Sorry i havent called eithe been so busy and by the time i have been ready to call i didnt want to ring as it was a bit later and dont like calling when people might be having dinner or family time :)

That's really bad considering that HotRod Magazine rebuilt a 67 327 (or 350) Camaro back to stock specs and it passed California's EPA emission standards of the mid-late 90's.
Proving the point about old cars being gross poluters is crap.

Jordan , id be stoked to have a pic like that of my car ... ok the ony thing that I would rather is rotate it a bit so i dont have to tilt my head to look at it .. minor thing other than that its a ripper:)

Gav

[67cammy]

Magic shot Jordan...but agree on the angle change. You have some real talent there.

[Russ]

Agree +3.

The angle is too much. Tilt it clockwise so that the roof of the tall buildings in the background are horizontal. Adds a level plane to the image. You'll find most people will naturally tilt their heads at the current image to that position.

Unfortunately, I'm assuming this image was actually shot this way and not tilted in post, so tilting it to correct would lose your corners.

[/COLOR]I was trying to be creative, does it conjur up any thoughts or a feeling?

I always love the "moving" shot but this one doesn't quite do it for me.
I think it is the background.
Not trying to be a Pr!ck Jordan, I really dig most of your pix. (The Chevelle shot is a cracker :D )

[S[_]SPECT]

Its a sweet photo, but agree that the angle seems wrong somehow..
Dont care so much about the background, but the car is in an obscure plane, so its unnatural to look at. (Additionally the fence above the rear window looks artificially blurred so is distracting.. to me)

Course, I cant take a photo to save me self.. so not one to judge.

Love your work mate.

[whitey27]

It 's a great pic. The way most people might tilt their head shows that it's actually grabbed their attention and are studying the pic even more so.

even the way the roads camber is portrayed looks good. Not to mention the car.

As the Caucasian Meditteranean european type doof doof drivers would say. "fully sic Mate"

Angle could come back some, but perhaps don't remove altogether..

My thoughts..
Who gives a crap? It's a great image. It's creative and not typical.
I would love to hear what wasn't "in-keeping" about it..
..or more importantly, what on Earth is an in-keeping image supposed to be?

[flogg]

both are great shots in my opinion.
The sun glare in the second shot adds a great dimension to the pic.

Took a bunch of photo's & video of the Chally over the weekend, then realised when I got home that I had a massive smudge mark on the lens. Created a bunch of distorted a f*cked up light on almost every image.

Absolutely spewin!

I now know to clean my lenses before shooting. :D

[OLSKOOL1800]

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the comments about that last Camaro pic.
I really do appreciate the feedback.
The excessive angle was there only because it was the only way I could get the sun in as the car sped away - and lessening the angle in PP took the sun out of the image all together.

Just thought I would post up an image I worked on last night for publication.

Under the bonnet is a nicely detailed and supercharged 350 donk.

Hope you like the action pic again

Engine had a Frontenac Overhead valve conversion head, Model A crankshaft with counterweights, high dome high comp pistons, Holden 3 speed crash box as well as modified Ford transmission, column mounted adjustable timing, Customline rear brakes (Model T brakes were inside the trans so if you broke a tailshaft you had no brakes), Ford Laser rack and pinion steering.

Don't you know Wrinkles= Horsepower!

im looking forward to steves reply!!!!!

[blackoutsteve]

If you think they are sidewall wrinkles from hard acceleration -as opposed to just sitting there and posing for the photo.. I say you don't know what they should look like. :)

[petrolhead]

I say you should Google some drag racing videos especially ones with a high speed camera then you will see that the inertia from the acceleration is the rim trying to tear away from the tyre most of the American Drag racing on Foxtell have these high speed cameras and do extreem close ups not only that you have a tyre that has low tyre pressure(compared to a normal car) but the tyre is "sticky" and doesn't want to move on take off if there were any drag racers on this forum they would back me up

[blackoutsteve]

They just need to pump up the tyres :D

[66FAIRLANE]

I know what Steve was getting at and agree the tyres aren't wrinkled enough for an under power wheelie but, the slicks may have been pumped up more for the street, but then it wouldn't have enough traction to pull a wheelie, but the Cobra is a fairly light car, but maybe they put some compound down, but who'd be stupid enough to do that on a main rd, but, but.... Lots of buts. I don't think the photo was staged (who knows really?). Maybe the power was off and the nose was on the way back down when the shutter went?

[blackoutsteve]

Have a look at the wrinkle behind the axle centerline that is symmetrical with the one in front.
That my friends is a slick tire at rest. :)

[66FAIRLANE]

Not gunna argue, could well be staged.

While I'm at it, here is an old very politically incorrect Ford billboard.

i agree with you steve doesnt look like any power is being transferred to the road, probably a jack under the front crossmember behind the sight view of the front wheel.

100% agree on that. those wheels aren't being turned in anger ;)

while my brother-in-law is in England this is the only cool car he has seen

[petrolhead]

Google that Cobra it's got quite an impressive record enough to make me believe it could be true he might of been doing a "roll back"

[63gal427]

It could be a genuine Cobra wheelstand after all.
http://www.myrideisme.com/Blog/11-50-at-120mph-money-back-performance-guarantee/

[blackoutsteve]

The car probably could lift the wheels. No one is disputing that it proabably could..
But it wasn't doing it in that staged/posed/promo photo.
Learn what slicks look like when they are transferring power.:)

Oh wait, now it was lifting the wheels doing a roll-back. :D:D:D
Comedy GOLD!

[66FAIRLANE]

As I said power could have been off an on it's way back down. Hard to know when the shutter went off. Could have also been staged. I am 50/50

[Sniperoz]

Just my 2 cents

The slicks in the 60s were thicker walled than now days cases in point

minimal if any wrinkle

to edit a photo so there was no jack in the picture was near impossible in those days, and there is no sign of anything in the shadow and it would have to be a big jack to get the car up that high.
