Two Before/After's ** c/c wanted **

[skunkdSiR]

Well I found something new when I was messing with CS4 and figured I'd test it out to see how it works on some pics..

At first I was over doing it but then I toned it down a smidgen and tweaked a few things and I got what I wanted

Self-Portrait:
Canon XTi, Sigma 10-20

Erick's Subaru:
Canon XTi, kit lens, CP Filter


On a self-portrait:

Then I dug up an old pic of Erick's Subaru and tried it on there:

I like the 2nd one but the ground seems a bit too textured, I'd love to know the process you used cause the car and sky came out really nice!

Looks great! I like what you did. Going out on a limb here but did you use the exposure feature in PS? Saved different exposures then merged them? Or taken the saved files and did an HDR merge and tweaked the settings? I might be way off but I figured i'd take a guess.

Looks like a possible plug-in.

I like 'em I would use the original pavement on a separate layer with less effect so that it doesn't take the attention away from the car.

btw, great cropping of pic 1
