because you can find those skills like crack

just be glad you can manipulate your simplistic photos to make them look exceptional with a program, and that you can find all that info via google

Ya i mean i could easily do that with Photoshop and no one showed me.

I said to myself one day, i want to learn how to use this program.

So i bought a pack of cigarettes and sat down and opened a picture and tried every effect and played with every option.

After a few weeks i was somewhat decent. Now i can do a whole range of things.

But no one helped me. Google has a **** ton of articles on how to use Photoshop....hell if your on Facebook, become a fan of Photoshop. They are always posting tutorials on stuff.

Sort of like this but with a wide angle lens and more pronounced clouds-

To be honest I don't think that pic is all that great. Yeah the clouds look cool, but the car is off center, and the pic is taken at a weird angle. I for one, do not like.

I agree. The shot could've been a lot better than it is atm. A friend of mine wanted to do something similar to that with my car..

In a shot like this i think the angle makes or breaks the deal.

be like it is
i think the artifacts on the horizon are selection "gaps" where the dude left the foreground untouched...replicating the reflections on the car would be such a pain if the sky is shooped in.

at least thats how i'd do it (if for whatever reason i wanted to make a pic look bad :lawl:)...select the sky and exaggerate it.

I was going to say if you just chop the sky in, good luck with the car reflections.

I would just try to get a shot with prolific clouds and then exaggerate them post process.

LOL @ bad pic.
