Satria: Strobist and Tone Map Perspective

Original Picture

One of my colleague's car that I hadn't finish editing. When I edited this image...I wanted to do a strobist feel to it, but ended it up with also like it been tone map from photomatix...which I didn't.

Everything is done manually in CS3 and a whooping size of 158.18MB

The process in this image involve 2 filters, loads of Rendering, Levels, H/S, Exposure and the whole "ShaBang"!

WANTED: LM LEXUS IS200X V8 500BHP

I am seriously dry on photographing. Though I got loads of idea, but my needs is still high on me in reducing my w8ight. I lost 2kg Since last week and "religiously" into it, so that's 2 down another 3kg to go hopefully.

Anyways the good thing nowadays is that my eldest sister's into her old flame of shooting also.. so here's another photo I've taken from her wordpress blog. An image of her first car...Heh seriously you don't get her car on the road very often since it's the limited edition of IS200x wit v8 engin 500bhp goes 0-60mph in well under 4.6sec. But then it's just me making up this story and thus manipulating the image to my liking. But you have got to admit the talent. huahuahua.  

Doing Cars

Ever since doing reflection on rivers...if I recall a few weeks back while reading my photography book on shooting cars, It spark my interest to do this image. One of my colleague's car... A BMW.... NOT! But is does look it doesn't it? heh Not bad I wld say for myself considering the car hadn't been "showered" for months now.
