Pictures
Rollovers
All of the pictures on the site at the moment were taken either by myself using a DSLR or by friends of mine using compact cameras.
Most of the pictures are just random snaps from rallies and ride outs from Scarborough, Pickering, Tan Hill and more, that is the pictures were not taken deliberately for this site just general snapshots used as examples. I say this to show you that pictures taken with ordinary compact digital cameras can be enhanced.
If you wish to see some pictures taken specifically for this site and specifically as examples for this process have a look at the
HQ Examples gallery.
The curves and metallic surfaces of scooters respond really well to this process. The process is a way of adding depth and enhancing the colours of a photo to give a slight impression of 3D or a Hi Definition Effect.
There are different levels of enhancing from slightly sharpened and coloured for a nearly natural but fuller look to full blown gritty post apocalyptic pictures with of course many different styles in between.
The best style for the picture will depend on what you want out of it and how the picture will respond to it. Some pictures are better suited to some styles but of course I will always try to give you what you want.
As part of the process I may also be able to touch up any defects or remove anything that detracts from the picture (cigarette ends, empty glasses and traffic cones in the ones already on the site), just let me know and I will tidy them up while I am working on it.
I don't just limit myself to scooters, some of the things I have had success with include:
Cars
Bikes
Animals
Flowers
Houses
Statues
Fireplaces
I will try to enhance almost any picture as long as it has contains enough detail, go on you send it I will have a go at it, you never know what it might turn out like.
Looks like there is nothing special about the photographs? Have a look at the before and after rollovers these will give you an idea of the difference this technique can make to your photographs.
