Hey all,
Just a quick post to show the toils of a spare hour on a Sunday afternoon using Adobe Lightroom. Not a bad lille editting/developing programme for some basic functions.
Nothing to major here, but let me know what you think regardless....

Very true but I don't have photoshop!! And why FTL, I preferred the tight crop around the cars as there was just too much going on around it.
On a separte note does ne1 have ne ideas on how to bring in certain colours through the image.
Ie: if i wanted to keep the current saturation as it is in the second pic and then just bring in the blue of the sky or the HID's or summit, would this be possible, and if so how??
don't like cropping. should crop before you take the picture. and for panoramic crops like that, should take proper panoramics, ie 5+ photos stitched together lol.
for colours you should layer it and use selection or colour selector if it has it, dunno, never used the software

Tbh for some images you need to crop, like at football matches / boxing matches / motor racing... Anything with a moving subject really. But yeah I do agree, there should be no need to crop a static car image.... but as he said, he's new to it and learning the functions etc.
Post some more up mate

you rarely crop any image at a sporting event.
you spend about £8k on a lens that will get you close enough.
cropping in media would be a last resort as your reducing your image quality
I've cropped a few at a motorsport event, due to the image not quite being centre etc. It is needed sometimes. I do agree though, not every image.
Boxing, for a portrait, where you get from the head to toe of the boxer, a crop could be needed. There's loads of times you do need to crop.

If u've got 8k spare then i PROMISE i won't crop anything again!! lol
Gonna go out for a play bit l8r on probably as the evening down this way is nice and should make for some good image opportunities.
Thanks for all comments so far...(remember I'm still getting used to this stuff)
Been experimenting myself with borders etc - but yes layers is the way to select things that you want to leave coloured or whatever really -

I like the edited image better, personally. Even with the crop.
But usually, I do my cropping when I take the shot, so save having to do it after.

to be honest, I dont see a problem with cropping images if you feel its needed, not everyone will as every body has there own style.
Car is high up due to the fact it is also on a step higher then the one on the left?
Image is good hun, keep having a fiddle about and you'll get the hang of thins.. Lightroom is good mind x
