can you post the original unedited version from the camera?

Here's the original guys.

I like the original much better than the altered versions.

Cool...good to know. I've been posting some shots on Facebook, and seeing what the thoughts are. I think I still like the first one over the B/W. However I never did post the original.

I kinda' like this one, so thought I would share. And as you can see, it's all kinds of stuff, not just Porsche. Well what can I say, it's a sickness. Oh, I use a Nikon D5100.

Hi John,

I also like the original photo of Barris as well, I am not one for much post effects works and I felt like the looks seemed to add an odd aging to his face. Here is a quick photo from my phone from last week. IMG_7289.jpg

me too, thought I might, which is why I asked.

fun shot!

Thanks guys, I find that messing around with images is fun for me and I seem to go to saturated colors for the most part.

I like the "Elliot" shot, did you do anything to it?

Thanks John, No, I did not do anything to it although it is from my phone and the red color of the car in person is a bit more blood red and less bright. I guess it points to some of the stuff that the iphone does in the background with the photos.

Every year my next door neighbor (who is 94!) asks me to take a picture of my magnolia trees. While Hurricane Sandy did a number on them, I give him a large print when he asks. This is this years..... Over-processed or just right? (He happens to love the pic, but then again, he's 94. How well does he see any more?


All that was done was contrast levels and cleaning up a tiny bit of distracting background on the right.

Apologies for it not being of our favorite automotive subjects!

Mark, humility is great, but you should have more confidence in yourself. We can talk photography in private if you'd like but the first thing I would say is that I think those lenses you are working with would really benefit from a full frame camera. Couldn't agree more with the comments on processing. I'm the last generation to have beat his head on the wall learning in the darkroom. That experience really did leave an impression on how I work today.
