Someone Give it a shot. Got some good pics finally

jcboof · #1 07-30-2007, 08:10 AM

Im not picky but I was thinkin that someone might have a good idea for photoshopping my sig pic. I would like something simple yet old school, since that is the direction i'm going with my bike.

I'm just too damn inept to figure out how to do it on my own.

If you need a bigger picture to work with, Let me know, I'll work on getting another one tonight. This is the only pic I have of my bike in its current state.

Hi jcboof,

Nice bike.

Your picture could be bigger but the biggest problem is that the edges are badly pixelated. I'm beginning to notice that this often happens when a bike is photographed from the shady side. Notice that the shadow on the ground is coming toward us?

All of the edges of the bike are rough - probably from flare from the light on the other side. I can't speak for the other guys but for me, neither the software nor I could find those edges and if I could they would be rough and your finished product wouldn't be very good.

Can you get us a good pic with good light on the bike? Stand as close as possible (or zoom) to fill that frame with bike and make it as big as possible.

Thanks!

Will do, This picture is actually a resized version of the original. I just resized it to 540x??? for my sig pic.

I will take another pic tonight with better lighting with my 7mp camera and post it up.

Thanks,

Better, now when you take the pics tonight can you get us a clean bg with no grass or vegetation? Maybe in front of your garage door? For one thing the grass is putting green reflections in your chrome which will look wrong with a new bg. The other issue is that it is again hard to see the edges for a clean chop.

That bike's so nice it's worth a good chop, imho.

OK, Ive taken some more pics tonight, It was getting kind of late so the lighting wasnt the best. So I tried to use some fill flash to brighten things up a little. I was only using my little Nikon Coolpix 7mp digital point and shoot so the quality is not the greatest. I'll use my DSLR tommorow and i'll hope to get some great pics.

Choose the best picture and make it your own!!
If you need more pics, Just ask and I'll take some with my other camera tommorow. Just click the links and have at em.

Wow, that's a gorgeous scooter.

OK, somethings causing your pics to break up.

On your favorite, please look just at the top of the dash and gas tank. See how broken the edges are?

For instance on picture 1, look how broken up even the long reflection on the right exhaust is where it passes the wheel.

When I zoom in on any part of the bike to try to separate it from the background, it's just ragged... ???

I don't know what's causing it...

I apologize - I'm dead wrong.

Your favorite pic is fine. It was resized smaller thanit is by the site and looked strange. I just took another look.

I'll chop and post it guys.
