Alright lads, time to fire up photoshop. Using the guide here yallara.cs.rmit.edu.au/~tbujor/blog/archives/000010lomo_effect_in_photoshop.phpMake photos to look like they do in TG (you know, the damned irritating ones where they crush the blacks, vingitte it all and make it so you can't see anything.....) Like so :  Here's my 5 minute attempt :  Go for it  , it's quite fun and looks good even though it's a quicky! |

 I didn't read the how-to (I don't actually use photoshop), but I figured a contrast tweak and a black edge was roughly the look. If it was a better photo (lighting/focus wise) then I could see it would work well. |

not perfect since i don't have photoshop. plus i only had the picture of the car with my model boat on it on the pc. I love this picture, and I can't explain why.... It's kinda a mashing of the following factors: 1. The randomness of the model boat on the roof of the car 2. The frankly curse word compostion that cuts off the front and back of the car 3. The non-matching doorhandles 4. the choice location of "not-fit-for-mortgage-purposes" dwellings as a backdrop...... It's made me think about a photo harder than any other in probably the last 6 months, and that can only be a good thing.  |

i only noticed the doorhandles when i took this picture. and iv had the car over a year now.
"not fit for mortgage purposes" i have no idea what that means but i assume its not good. i live in this area you cheeky git! although those are the neighbors houses thank god. plus i think they're rented houses.
ill try and get a better (or should that be worse?) one soon

Nice buggy! Details?   My not-retro-RC ride...but it does have two motors and a two speed manual box! Hell, that's almost better-equipped than my car  |

its a hyper 7 tq. its an entry leel racing buggy. i painted the shell myself (first attempt so its not great) had to have a new steering servo since i trashed the original. according to the box it goes about 40mph (havent had this verified but it seems about right). is that the twinzilla? feel free to pm me if don't want to go off topic any more since were going off topic ill add a picture of my rc bug to keep people happy. at least its retro  |
