Couple of the finished images of Munya's bug, I promise one day I will find a new kind of background :

Yeah right no point now days with inter cooler sprayer spraying a few litres water every time I hit 1.1bar

Came up better than I thought it would especially since it was real dark shooting the pictures since the sun had set....... Can't wait for the rest......

I'm a vampire photographer...shooting at night is way, way easier

Looks good Mark, Ryan has the touch.

For those interested here is a behind the scenes Before-and-After of my final stage of processing; Colour grading.

This part is the easy bit after an hour or two in Photoshop, but gives the image the final pop that I'm aiming for. (P.s It's all trial and error with the sliders )

Supposed to use Lightroom first then Photoshop to polish :P

edit: Ignore that, forgot you may be dealing with a few layers/masks

[98kellrs]

Yep usually 6 to 10 layers, used to use LR3 for RAW editing but LR3 doesn't take the .nef files of my Nikon. Until I get LR4 it's relegated to final tweak status

Love the photos of Mark's car Ryan. Can't wait to see the rest! You certainly have talent
