Wash, Wax, Pictures......

Had the day off work so I got in a couple of coats of zaino.

I touched up the photos a little bit using a program called photomatix. Have to use a Digital SLR camera and take 3 pictures at different exposure settings and the program merges them together.

Let me know what you think.

Thumbs up

Absolutely gorgeous

Those are also excellent pics. The rain clouds in the background are awesome which enhances the shine from the car and eliminates any glare you would normally get from sun

Clean cars are more aerodynamic, hence faster, didn't you know?

(PS - nice job on the zaino.. looks awesome)

I guess I posted in this section because it would get more attention.


And I guess I'll use krnpimpsta's explanation....... If have ever used zaino, then you know that after a few good coats and a towel will slide right off the hood if you set it down. I guess that will be my ricer explanation for performance.

Thanks for all the compliments though.

Wait a minute, I've been posting here for a little while... how come this is the first time I'm hearing about the Zaino performance wax?!?!?!?!

Seriously though, your car looks awesome! :thumbsup:

It's called High Dynamic Range or HDR photos. It's really awesome how it captures both highlights and shadows on the same print. Photoshop CS2 and newer will merge bracketed pics and do this too.

That looks sexy. It reminds me of the old time pics where every time a lady was on the screen, they used a soft filter to accentuate her delicate beauty. Nice touch

There are a ton of examples of HDR pictures over at www.svtperformance.com, just do a search in the Pics and Videos section for HDR and the thread will come up. That is where I got the idea.

The program photomatix is pretty expensive ~$149, but if you have a educational email address you can get the student discount which is about $45. That's the only reason I bought it.

Or you can go to the photomatix website for details on how to use it.
