this is probably a very private session… anyone know when was this?

probably that expensive track day called exotic track days or something like that its on casc in the open lapping days section… they cost like 500 bux a day on regular tracks not even mosport raceway. But if im not mistaken thats with instructor too… i cant remember… I could be wrong though ---

Yup my friend took those pictures actually, Lucas Scarfone. The event was 29th of Sept I believe. I’m pretty sure these guys rented the track personally and had no instructors.

I actually like HDR when it’s done to look more like a painting then a photo. It is a great way to mix art with photography and create some very interesting results. ---

He’s been doing photography for years and is booked 5-7 days a week by clients. I think his pictures and image are pretty well settled. ---

There’s no need to get defensive, no one is questioning your friend’s career or anything like that. Just his poor choice of post processing on this batch of pics. Some are okay, others are not. The SL in the beginning looks great, the 911 and the Ferrari look butchered though. I don’t know about the rest of his work, so I can’t say, but this set, I don’t think was done very well at all. ---

yeah, generally speaking most of the heavily post processed and HDR stuff shows a great ability to use photoshop but not necessarily a great ability to use a camera ---

You don’t have to DO BETTER to call someone out for doing a poor job. If that was a requirement, we would live in a really sad world, where mediocre work keeps getting passed off as good. I don’t have the equipment nor experience to match a professional photographer, but to be perfectly honest, I DO think I can do better than THAT specific set that was posted, and I can say that most of the shots that I’ve taken and processed with my DSLR since I got it, are better than the 911 turbo and F430 pic. You cannot honestly sit there and tell me that the 911 looks good in that picture. It’s just so wrong in so many ways, and the saddest part is, that the original pic probably looked good, until he took the HDR knife to it and hacked it to bits. ---

Assuming the photographer didn’t get hired to take these shots, i don’t see them being the best he can do anyways. Maybe he just took some shots for some friends… why would he spend the time to do everything he can to make them look the best that they can if it’s just for fun.
