Packed the Goggomobil

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Packed the Goggomobil

Postby daniel_r on Tue May 09, 2006 10:23 pm

I've been going through a bit of a post processing backlog lately and found these two images...

#1. The Goggomobil. Maybe they're still waiting for a clutch cable... Last registered 8/1976.

#2. or maybe you've lost a bike?

I mucked up the metering a bit with these (taken with a borrowed KM Dynax 7D) but I think they turned out ok still.

C&C most welcome.

I really like both of these. The second one, I think I would crop off the top a bit - all above where that white pole/ line meets the left border...

Lovely!

Well done ... the PP suits the images well. Perhaps just a touch too much sat in the second photo (reds look a bit fake on my monitor?) but great shooting ideas.

Canon 20D and a bunch of lovely L glass and a 580EX. Benro tripod. Manfrotto monopod. Lowepro and Crumpler bags. And a pair of Sigma teleconverters, and some Kenko tubes.

Thanks for the comments guys!

Dion - there seems to be a bit of browser variability going on with the saturation. I had a bit of a sh*t of a time with the "AdobeRGB-sRGB-export w/ ICC profile" convert with that image. :?
Thanks for the feedback, I'll see if I can tame the reds a bit.

optogamut - I'd suggest buying a new bike :)
Maybe try the red and whilte one near the wheel guard, it seems to be the most complete bike there!

where are the shots taken?

I have always wanted a goggomobil !

A bit closer cropping would be good to see.
