Thanks,

Glad you liked the pictures. The light was perfect here today and I had the time.

On a technical note: The camera is a Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II with a Canon 70-200mm lens. Photoshop was used to "process" the raw files that the camera takes. As far as focus goes, it was a f-stop thing, around f-4.5 or something like that. There was some additional "treatment" to the images to bring the car out a little more in the area of color and density.

Cheers,

Jeff

Can you explain how you did the treatment? I need to learn more techniques in Photoshop. The pictures look fantastic. I can't match the megapixels of your camera, but the colour on mine is excellent.

No problem, I was trying to think of a good way to show the steps? Glad your son got it worked out.

Posting a couple of pictures of my 147. It's a stock 2.0TS apart from the Ragazzon exhaust. The pics were taken a month and a half ago near where I live. Although it's nowhere near e.g. alfarestore's 105 when it comes to classic looks, I hope you'll enjoy them nevertheless.

Here goes:

Nice shots....I really like the photograph that is showing the rear of the car looking down the road.

Very cool!

A couple of pictures of our Giulia Spider taken last weekend at the WW2 USAF memorial about 2 miles from our home. Only 6 degrees Centigrade but nice and sunny.

Sorry if the picture size causes a problem. I don't really know why they are that big. I imported them via Photobucket.com which I thought controlled the size of the pictures, but I am obviously wrong. If there are any image handling wizkids out there who can advise me on how best to do this please feel free to make suggestions.
