Photography: The Pursuit 3 [Part II]

Second set of photos are up! Played just a tad more with GIMP 2.0. Again, constructive criticism is welcome! I highly suggest coming next year, if you did not go this past weekend. The eighth mile drag was pretty fun to watch (especially those who could not get traction, or those who did one wheel burnouts) and I must mention once again: free stuff for raffle that's actually worth something!

And on to the pics:

Photography: The Pursuit 3 [Part I]

This was my second year attending Lexus' Pursuit, which was at Irwindale Speedway this past Sunday. A decent crowd showed, and there were raffles for free stuff (including a FREE set of Vossen Wheels!!), one of my friends even winning an intake. There was also an eighth mile drag strip and free In-N-Out (which I missed from arriving late). But I digress. 

Photography during broad daylight with harsh lighting is still something I'm working on, but I'd like to think that I'm getting better. As a matter of fact, the photos below are a result of various experimentation, including the use of a polarizer, taking some panning shots, and some post-processing with GIMP 2.0. 

And I know, despite being a Lexus event I still took pictures of autos of different brands; but what can I say, I like all cars.

This is part one of two, as I have yet to work on the rest of the photos. Comments/suggestions are welcome! 

Softglow 1!

Softglow 2

Softglow 3

...Okay, I suppose in retrospect, softglow during the harsh daylight was a pretty bad idea. Was worth a shot though. Back to (mostly) regular pictures.
