The Way Back...

So today was the first day of classes (well actually my only day). Had little sleep the night before; or should i say morning of. I was up until 1:30 AM getting this shit uploaded to Youtube.

And then I couldn't FALL asleep until around 3...I had to get up at 6:30. Yeah, i'm always a nervous wreck the night before the first day back. At least the classes are cool and the instructors are nice.

Moving on, about the video. This is the return trip from my last video, Highway 35 North from 4 Corners in Woodside, California to Route 92. As I've stated in the YouTube description, there are a few things i'm sure people are going to take issue with in the video. Read the description for details; i honestly don't feel like paraphrasing all that even if this is my blog. Just sit back and enjoy. The video i mean. The audio is the WSSSSHHHH (wind noise) edition, driving set to badly made tunes edition will come sometime in the near future.

I'll start working on new background/banner/text color tomorrow, i'm too tired to type one more word.

Just Because I Can

Shopped a pic of the eclipse, just because i can. It turns out we may be keeping it after all.

Enjoy.

Time for Baby to go Bye Bye...

So I've shopped some pics of the Eclipse. Going to be put up for sale soon, so i might as well make it look pretty for the ad. Commencing dump.

Engine bay is pretty plain. No crazy "mawds" and no fancy wire tucks. Even the intake is stock.

Played around with Layer modes. Technically this is an HDR image as i bracketed 3 shots. I just didn't use Ps proprietary HDR Pro function and instead used a different opacity on each layer, and used aforementioned layer modes on select layers. Gave it this warm, juicy, contrast-y effect.

A pretty simple 3/4 shot. darkened up background as it was waay too hot for my liking.

Low setting Front profile. Used distortion a bit to give the car a longer, wider look. Definitely doesn't look as flat as the RAW.  Used curves and a photo filter to increase the color contrast between the red of the car and the blue/green of the sky/pavement.


Going to be asking 3500 or best offer, hope to get no less than 2750.

Also, tomorrow i will add a new background image to the site and change the color scheme to compliment it.  I'll upload a watermarked version of the previous background before i change it to the new one.
