Looks excellent mang! I love the 04-05 body style, and you make it even more appealing.

Parker will probably disagree with me here, but I feel this way because almost no picture is taken perfectly, and Photoshop is there for just that reason.

Anyway, the picture above has very little photoshop, just come contrasting and gradient (like all my pictures). It's really just a run of the mill overdone HDR, but I thought it turned out pretty good (rare for an overdone HDR).

Awesome shot. Can't wait for the website! Any plans for doing tutorials??

Tutorials? Probably not, the stuff I do is pretty simple. Besides, I can't have a million pix that look like mine floating around...lol. If you want to know how to do something, just PM me and I'll tell you how in absolute detail, no problem.

I don't disagree with using photoshop as apart of the equation but I do disagree with the percentage. 80% should be the actual shoot (composition, scene, focus, exposure, etc) with 20% being post processing. Post processing is just as important as the actual photo taking process but not understanding the 1st part isn't going to help the 2nd part.

I look at it this way...

If you don't know how to post process, you can still take some amazing photos straight from the camera. It doesn't always work the other way around because you can't fix the focus, you can't always correct composition, you can't correct the scene (for the most part) and exposure is much easier to adjust in camera than it is in post processing.
