Post by: Phil Mcavity on February 22, 2009, 06:08:52 pm: yes , used strong glue on top of the sticker pad that comes with the badge,i first press badge on the honeycombe to mark were it would stick, then applied thin line of super glue on those marks left on the sticky pad.

Post by: stealthwolf on February 22, 2009, 08:14:01 pm: Have you ever thought about adjusting the brightness/contrast in photoshop to get a better colour?

Title: Re: Red Edition 30 cleaned up......
Post by: Phil Mcavity on February 22, 2009, 08:19:08 pm: i could do but why would i want to make it look more redder??.

Tornado Reds are always hard to photo with the light reflection off them, always look better in the flesh or use a top notch camera instead of my crappy 8 mega pixel peice of sh*te!.

Post by: stealthwolf on February 22, 2009, 08:20:25 pm: How about underexposing the shot a touch?
Title: Re: Red Edition 30 cleaned up......
Post by: Phil Mcavity on February 22, 2009, 08:26:24 pm: not sure how too tbh stealth, im not a pro with the lense, photo'ing outside my gaff isnt the best place to capture the cars shine!, will have to seek better backdrops when i can :wink:

cheers for havin a go at adjusting but that looks too bright!!! :wink:
Title: Re: Red Edition 30 cleaned up......
Post by: stealthwolf on February 22, 2009, 08:31:43 pm: Lol didn't change the brightness but increased the contrast. I'm not a pro either but it's something I picked up. Underexposing in the british climate supposedly gives better results.

What cam you got?
