General BS forum I guess this will be for anything that would seem to be off topic in any other forum here. Just general shootin' the breeze kind of topics. |

Vette pic's
Last weekend I took "Goldie" and showed her at the Lakeland Sun N Fun car show. It was cluttered and a bit confused but it was the first time this show had moved to this location so the normal start up confession was present. No biggie there.
What I did think was silly was their was a vender who took car pics as vehicles came in and then you could get that pic put against a number of very nice backgrounds, so far so good, until I asked how much? Just for the photo in 8.5 X 11. $45. Came home with pics I took and no cost.
What I was curious about was how available are programs that allow this process? A pic with available backgrounds upon which the pic can be applied. Are these programs expensive? Any suggestions as to a good one at a reasonable price or does such an animal exist?

Are the Church Services optional

PhotoShop
The best program out on the market today IMO is Adobe CS3, which I have and paid $600.00, plus upgrades. If you are not doing websites, graphic presentations etc. you don't need this Horse Power. To do what the Car guys are doing you will need this type of program. Most of these vendors have a complete system that they bought from "HP", with camera, printer, software and hardware etc.
Suggestion:
Go find a nice beach and take your own picture or look around for a good location.
I found this site at a Country Club for this picture of my Z06. The quality is better than shown...I copied this from an old file.
Good Luck....
JIM

Ya know Jim, I think you're absolutely correct. Now lets see, find a neat location and a scantly clad model and snap away. After all the car and background are only 2/3rds of the equation
Thanks Jim and beautiful pics, again thanks.

I love cars and I love taking pictures so I would never pay someone $45 to take a pictures of any of my cars. With the digital cameras on the market today you can take great pictures with no film or developing cost. Besides that, pictures mean more to me when I take them myself.
