What is your day job, sp3ctre?

I manage development and testing environments for a software company

 

[Rick Hunter]

(read: sp3ctre plays Half Life professionally) oke: :fuelfire:

 

[cj10jeeper]

hmm, what to do. either vote for WLH's pooch, Spud's exceptionally clean and bright washing or CJ's missing horses.

It is a tough one this month

all the horses I need are under the hood :rofl:

very possibly, the name rings a bell, its near keswick, fantatic roads, was there only 2 weeks ago, it was a hard choice which picture to put on here, that rainbow was fantatic, was moving towards me as i took piccy

Going with something a bit different this month, not really had many chances to go shoot the Zed so this pic sums that up nicely!

 

[lomohart]

That's an awesome pic! The black and white effect and the rain is dramatic! I just love black and white pictures!

I agree as IMO B&W is very under appreciated....
I am a big fan of Ansel Adams...

Thanks guys, really appreciate those comments. Agree, love B&W. Was a funny one, was just looking out of the window thinking 'rain sucks', had my camera to hand so took a pic. Need to go do a proper shoot again sometime really, find an inspirational place first!

Cool Rainbow!

 

[rabman5]

Jackers... excellent picture!

 

[PawnSacrifice]

Some great pics all round, although slightly biased toward the subject matter! Jackers & mlt - you guys at least semi pro with a camera?

Rick... I'm guessing by the copyright you are pro - great looking car, like those wheels!

 

[Jackers42]

Semi-pro? I wish! But thanks anyway! I like taking pics and am halfway through a Photoshop course. Some really good pics again this month.

 

[Greeno]

It is getting tough

razzmann and mlt

Nice to see a couple of entries with the new Z

quite liking aurabbit's too although that sky is looking a little 'enhanced'. maybe a little too much for me. not sure yet

 

[aurabbit]

The sky was not enhanced in the post processing but I can see why you think that. I think its mainly
because the light that I used to lit the car is a bit greenish. so when the white balance set to that, the sky looks
more magenta/purple-ish. and there is a natural vignetting effect because I was high on the hill, so the light from
the city started to fade.

Hehe, I'm far from a Pro

We were waxing our zed's and only had couple of minutes to shoot some quick photos. My luck kicked in again when we were all finished and my battery went dead and the car would not start We left it behind and the next day it barely started and I had to drive it to the service without any electric systems up (Gauges/displays, Power steering, Navi, ABS, Blinkers etc.)

Here are couple of photos from the same session. The red Z is my friend Pasi's, who has also posted some photos here and won couple of the photo competitions.

I wish... although I'll take your compliment and run with it

I've started to put some sort of watermark / copyright stamping since I found some of my pics had been "stolen" by others and displayed / used without permission on some other sites. It's a shame I had to do that, as I think it detracts from the picture overall.

 

[E86M.au]

such a sexy photo... I like it 4 some reason I never realised the crease in the bumper below the headlight followed the one above... small details like this that make the car so cool

 

[PetKiller]

Some stunning images this month. These two personally I think are brilliant... but then what would I know?

 

[Taz]

just looked at the results, why do so few people cast a vote?

I have been wondering about that as well.... :?
