TGGRRR (Ali) Posted February 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Mike, Those are really cool. Does the gopro have a fish eye lens? I love how you played with the colors. What are you using for post processing? Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniMike Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Ali, It's not considered a fisheye as much as a wide angle though there is some distortion on the corners. The post was done in a couple of places. Initial color and exposure correction was done in Aperture (I'm a Mac nut) then some color effects/filters were done in FX Photo Studio Pro. Things I didn't use on these but really like and would recommend without hesitation: Photoshop along with most Adobe products gives me hives (though I do use it from sometimes). If I want to work in layers, I go to Pixelmator. Nik Color Efex, Silver Efex and Viveza (really love this one) are my go tos for really serious post. Thanks for the complement. I have some non-MINI stuff on 500px if you are interested --including some HDR stuff and I use Photomatix Pro for that. Mike, Those are really cool. Does the gopro have a fish eye lens?

Photoshop has me confused amd I use OnOne Photo Studio. I really would like a good HDR tool. I looked at your work, it's impressive!

TATTRAT Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I really would like a good HDR tool. Isn't that what the camera is for? it's a simple enough technique, and you can use lightroom to just stack the three exposures. flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does Lightroom stack images? I'll have to google that. I've tried Photoshops HDR but it is not impressive.

MiniMike Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) This video is for the folks who were interested in the Dashcommand in my car. The system is comprised of an iPad 2, PLX KIWI WIFI and the Dashcommand app. Shot with my GoPro Hero 2 HD. The bonus coverage has the GoPro mounted to the tow hook. :motor: Edited February 7, 2012 by Edge Converted YouTube link into embedded video MiniMike and TAZ!

TATTRAT Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Damn, it's illegal to drive and not be hands free nowadays, let alone having what looks like a order window hanging in the left. . .I guess I am just missing what it does? If it is for photos and stuff, I guess I just don't see the advantage as the stuff above is really noisy, and over saturated, imo. :dontknow: flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
