[QUOTE="Stoshowicz, post: 648673, member: 31397"] Frankly , your low angle , which is nifty ,fortunately , also puts your lens flare up against the sky, why don't you just clone , paint or heal , all that away? if you can do it that way, instead of making the black parts too dark , you can drop that contrast so we can see the riders faces and so forth. Or if you insist on making the darks completely black , then with lightroom you use the histogram controls by moving the dots at the bottom in conjunction with the slider , to drop that portion of the histogram to nil. In photoshop you might try the gradient controls to remove the green and orange hues at the bottom borders OR you can paint a mask negating those color tones. You have lots of options, and being real nice action photos , with that low angle , IMO its worth the time to do. But being able to actually see the lights in the image , suggests to me that hoods aren't going to remove the flares,unless a super long one keeps dirt off, and if youre getting hit repeatedly on the lens with dirt , no filter is going to stay pristine either. ( to my taste , which you wouldn't need to attend, I would paint or clone out the lights themselves- they're hard to see past ) Up to you. [/QUOTE]
