MY Butterfly VR

[LightningVP]

Those photos look awesome :| Car looks great, good to see it's all fixed up now

[minux]

and now i present to you all the car all fixed up just after the accident:

it was issured for $4000 the isurance company called it a write off so i bought it back from they for $620 and payed my excuss of $900 so they drew me a cheque of $2480 i went to good old com car in newlands road got a 2nd hand bonnet, head light and steal front bar fro $300 they took it to my pannel beater which he charged me $1000 for fixing the radiator support, re-spraying both 1/4 pannels and bonnet and now its insured for $4500 and i only pay my insurance yearly of $600... i think i did a good job .....

if any 1 would like to know who my photographer is please go to www.tangcla.com - photography ... or PM me for details these pics are really live pics that were taken at about 10:30pm last saturday night and have not been photoshoped....

Those look far too overdone with HDR, need to pull the levels way back. As to say they have not been photoshopped, well to remove noise after tone mapping with photomatix(which I dare say is what has been done) there would need to be noise reduction done etc, so Photoshop would of been used at some point.

I thought you were getting VE GTS Copies? They look nothing like GTS Copies. Good to see the car back on the road again, try and not tailgate this time eh?

Hey! I recognize that car :O I've seen it a few times actually! It's a nice ride!

LOL, the education department does pay well! Thats how i was able to afford my new beast!

What mods you planning for it now?

lol at tailgating.. i was actually turning left via a sliplane and lady in the front was as well altho she actually was wanting to stop in the no standing zone of the intersection ( shes was trying to park on the left hand side of the road 2meters from the slip lane in the left lane of sydney rd) so i wasnt so close to be honest... lol and my rims there suppose to be mock up VE GTS... but they just different all 2gether... and the photos... they havnt been photoshop i was with the photographer when they were done and he showed them to once they were taken ( digtal camera worth $14,000) ... a lot of people have said they have been photoshop which the photographer has told me its called light some thing something... al i know to be honest with you is he positioned my car, clicked the camera once then 'scaned' my car with a fluro light for about 1min then went back to the camera and clicked it again... its something to do with shutter speed i believe...

Light painting. These images still look hit with HDR. Just because you seen it on a small LCD screen doesn't mean things aren't changed afterwards.

I am yet to get the HDR effect simply by using different lights. This is why I said it, most guys who light paint get much more clarity to their images.

I knew they were long exposures, but you still get much more clarity out of using a $100 kit lens and a $800 camera body which is why I said they were HDR.

What camera is it to be worth 14k? Even a 1Ds MK III isn't even close to that.

[Doctor Sodways]

Light painting wont get that effect.... Thats definatly HDR, light painting will get effects like this....






14k for a camera doesnt mean the photos will instantly be good. Ive seen photos from a $300 point and shoot that can rival a pro setup, and having the gear doesnt make you a photographer! Those small LCD's arnt great for much, might look good on that 2.5inch screen, but put it on a proper LCD and things arnt what they seemed..... Minux can back that up....

(Can i have your number for next time im in melb )

[alien]

Receptionist? That still pays well right?

You own the VE? Why dont you tell your fiance that your driving the VE and he can drive the VR? You still gonna do the engine mods to it or not?

I wanna get black number plates to go with my new car... i'll get some photos up soon. First i gotta take some photos, but they'll be coming soon. It doesn't have a butterfly on it though, i'm just not cool enough for that!

Mind you, i must say good choice with the VR, they are an awesome car, and even in a collision they'll keep you fairly safe! Believe me on that one.

[hsvpunk]

wooow wooow, hang on, your sayn those pics in Post number 25, have NOT been photoshopped...... right........

Its possible, they could save tif images from a raw program, import into photomatix and do a noise reduction in LR. Thus not hitting photoshop, however, all I am saying is that is not the way they left the camera, they have been hit using high dynamic range,

[hsvpunk]

ok, so not using photoshop, u could've used something else?
pic still looks good either way.

[maco_butterfly]

guys... all i no is that they have not been photoshoped, croped ect... his a good mate of mine and if you go to his website: www.tangcla.com - photography you will see all his work that have not been touched like mine pics... im not here to argue this... if any one would like answers just go to his website.... and conact him yourself...

i dont lie and i dont like to made out as a liar....

lol nar mods atm is to just keep the car on the road and clean... wanting a vortex supercharger but ... i think after this accident and all it ant worth it... besides if i want power ill just take the VE out for a spin... my partner wants to put a kappa charger on it but he knows that will void the warrenty and all so yeah no mods 4 the time being... iv become lazy as... actaully cum to think about... i wouldnt mind electric windows and to upgrade my seats.. lol

tangcla has sent this to via an email :

The photos aren't HDR'd, it's a single exposure. I like your lightpainting photos, however I shoot a soft light through a double-diffused softbox, hence it looks HDR. I can assure you (actually I'd be willing to bet that SLK in your photos, plus some more) that it's single exposure, and the only alterations I do in postprocessing is white balance and the occasional brightness/contrast tweak.

[Stressball]

I have seen lightpainting that resembles the pics of this car, it's an odd effect, you don't see it often because a lot of people try to avoid it

By the way, you can do pseudo-HDR with a single exposure, if it weren't for the comment about almost no post-processing then that could still have been an option

Either way, it's an interesting effect... I would've sided with Minux, I would've been fairly certain it was a HDR composition.

Not a bad looking car too

[FirstVR_JC]

The interior of this car looks fantastic!!! Car looks great in the latest photoshoot. Again...great job on the interior.

[maco_butterfly]
