[JC Lemay]

So sick I love seeing raws.... dope shots
Pictures from my cheap 35mm

[njskimmer8]

Took this with a 400mm 2.8 2 weeks ago at a drag race. Nitrous shooting from the pipes. Love this lens!

Anyone on here have lightroom by Adobe? Looked into it for editing, was curious what people had to say about it.

[Gabriel Keenan]

lightroom is actually the only software i use to edit my photos. it works perfectly for me.

[SACTO skim]

I use lightroom for pretty much all of my color correction/to achieve the main look for my image. Then bring it into photoshop to do the final tweaks and more tedious things.

I would say get it though, such a great program once you learn the interface

[njskimmer8]

Thanks for the input, think I need a photo editing software that will go a step further than my iphone which I usually just add sharpness. Thanks!

[Chrith]

you edit photos you took with a 7k dollar lens on an iphone?

I hate when other photographers try to steal my work and take credit on websites. It's happened before, so I put it on there now. You can barely see it.

[SACTO skim]

Yeah I get people stealing my pictures all the time, usually the company's that are featured on the cars I shoot steal my shots and post. I still like to keep my watermark off the subject of the picture as it kind of ruins the shot usually. Make it smaller and throw it in the bottom left so people can enjoy the shot.

Edit : I'll add a few more from Ferrari Challenge if anyone is interested.

I put it in the center cause some people go the distance of cropping it out if it were on the bottom. So I keep it safe and put it in the middle just lightly.

Here's a few mountain biking shots from friday. Had some fun, it was my first time trying to shoot this. The conditions were pretty harsh though.

All of them are great bm... second one is the dopest imo. Like the dust around the back wheel.

mmmm can't wait. new AV watermark?

[SACTO skim]

That watermark is something I will use for our clothing "line". Tried something similar on this but won't keep it as its too much in your face.

This is just a shot I edited while at work.

Haha, it's a very popular place to shoot now-a-days Wyatt :P I have a shoot with a Ferrari F-430 and Lamborghini SuperLeggera there this weekend.

Solid as always Trevor. Are the brake lights on in the 2nd or is that just editing?

Hey guys I am looking into getting my first DSLR.
I have been looking into either a D3100 or a D5100.
I'm looking for some advice on whether it is worth spending the extra money to get a D5100 since I am just starting out.
A couple of my biggest concerns is having video and how well the camera performs in low light conditions (both photo/video).

If you guys have any suggestions or recommend a different camera around the same price, that would be great.

Thanks in advance.

[Chrith]

really any dslr is going to be great, an entry level dslr now is as good as a pro cam 2 generations ago. go to best buy or where ever, hold them and see which feels the best.
