I'm liking this one. Still looks on the under exposed side. With a little editing I think this photo will look great. You're horizon is uneven ( leaning to the right) and I would try to bring some of the highlights up to get some detail in the clouds.

Your light painting is pretty good, but it could be a little more even, especially on the rear and on the ground behind the car. The wheel is also turned a little too much given where you are, and honestly there's just a bit too much distortion going with the car itself. The front seems to grow larger than the rear of the car, which is also starting to slant inward. |

Seriously dude? You and RJ really make a strong case for not having to own a DSLR. These are fantastic...I wish that the lighting was a little more even on the front of the car though, especially in the second shot. Both are good examples though of how you can make a centered composition work. Well deserved.

I'd say your last photo with the 3 side profiles is your strongest out of the set, mainly because the rest of them have either uneven lighting and/or you're shooting in the shadows. I don't like how the pole is pretty prominent in the third and second to last photo, and don't forget to roll up all the windows.

"Be careful with backlights Generally speaking, you want to avoid backlights in automotive photography. Remember that typically you want your light source behind you, so that it lights up your subject. If you’re taking a photo of a car with the light source behind it, such as the sun or a streetlight, then you’ll more than likely get lens flare (the ugly green or brown series of circles that emanate from the light source in question) and your subject will not receive enough light." |

I feel like the bridge that's above the car is going to make for a more interesting background and surrounding than the ground that you've put into the foreground in both shots. There are times when you can make this work, but it's taking up so much of the foreground that it's really overpowering the rest of the image. Your second photo is the stronger of the two, mainly because the lighting is more even on the car and you're not in the shadows so much. |

I may regret this... but I'd like a pro's opinion since I'm just getting started in the photography hobby.
This is my favorite shot I've been able to capture of my car so far. Rebel XSi, EF-S 18-55mm (yeah, yeah... kit lens), f/5.6, ISO 100, tripod, 0.6 Exposure. And same photo, after trying out some post production techniques in Photoshop (including a LOT of clone stamping to get rid of the distracting background). Next time I'm going to try and shoot in front of a better background first rather than doing all the work to try and fix it after the fact. Lesson learned. I also went a little overboard with the soft light layer in a couple spots. Made it look a little artificial in a couple spots. Please be gentle... |

Here are a few of my latest pictures. Any comments and advice are appreciated.
1. This one was taken up a local canyon at approximately 8:00 PM. It feels like the colors are too washed out but when I try to up the exposure the highlights are blown out. 2. This photo was taken at the exact same spot as number 1 but was taken 10 minutes earlier and from a different angle. Would it have helped to turn the wheels to one side or is the composition ok? 3. The picture was taken at about 1:00 PM on a very bright day. Is there anything I could do to improve this style of black and white photo? Last edited by iron_grenadier; 06-10-2013 at 12:14 PM. |

Need some advice on a few things. Just bought my first DSLR and went out shooting the other day. I was in auto just to see how it comes out. My car came out underexposed but the rest looks pretty good. What are some settings that would be good for shooting a black car while the sun is out? Shooting a black car in general? Is shooting midday with sun out a no no? Any input is greatly appriciated
