Hi Alix

Good stuff, Almost there with the colours ;-) Try boosting the contrast once you have done your shadows thingy it will but some punch back into them and not leave them looking grey.

3 and 4 for me Alix, 4 being the pick, great shot! I must have walked past you, I was on the bank next to 4 for the rusties, then moved back down the stage for the main historics!

Thanks Jon think the bit of gray is more due to the dust in the air i manage to clear a lot up in photoshop though

Definitely not dust Al, It is what is left when you play with the shadows & highlights and don't put any contrast/blacks back in.

If your okay with it let me know and I will edit one of your shots and you can see it side by side to what you are viewing to possibly help you see what I mean?

Jon

sure eddit way i got no probs with it but everything was gray up there when inters come around 2nd time even i was grey with dust

Good set, i really like number 5 works really well

Thanks Dex was not so easy getting the shots over that side of the hill due to cars flying past under me and kicking up a wall of dust

 

[Jon.S]

Dust was bad yes, But your backgrounds would not be as clear as they are if it was the dust as it masks the whole image ;-)

Here we go Al, Edited quickly, All I have done is added a slight amount of left hand side curve to bring some black back in to compensate for the Shadows/Highlights, Compare them side by side in PS and see what you think.

Jon.S

 

[alix]

Can see what you mean now Jon will give it a shot next time thanks for the tip

 

[Jon.S]

No problem, Once you get that bit sorted you will be fine, Your work is good other than that slight issue.
Do you want me to remove those photos I posted back?

Regards,
Jon.S

 

[alix]

can leave them up if you want Jon other can see what you ment then and it might help them too
