this one was even blurrier, so i went B&W w a tad of selective coloring.

anyway...lmk what you think!

I love that first one! I might crop it just a little tighter so the car's not quite so centered, but it's a good sharp shot, and I love the glow from the brakes too.

The other two are pretty good, but like you said they're not as sharp. I probably would've tried with an even wider crop to not quite have the cars so centered.

Yeah I figured that much. I might have to go back in the spring and re attempt it. Here's the only other one that I thought was decent from that set.

^^^ Congrats, haven't seen one of those for awhile and it was well deserved.

Not automotive, but went overseas and took some shots so thought I'd show you guys some of the better photos.

I like the composition and placement of the car in the frame, but I've never been a fan of shooting in cemeteries...just not my cup of tea for automotive photography. It also looks like everything except the car are leaning toward the left.

Great capture! Road Atlanta? I remember those turns from Forza

I kinda wish it was a tiny bit wider so we could see the where the road curves on both ends, and maybe have the car a tiny bit higher in the frame, but the sense of speed and motion is perfect and the car is nice and sharp.

10a and 10b at Road Atlanta. It's a lot more fun when I am behind the wheel instead of the fence.

I love the colors in this photo. It's one of my favorites that I've seen of yours. Well done!

Hey there. I have read through your tips and they did help me out quite a bit. I have some pictures that I have taken with a Canon T3i and edited on Paint Shop Pro. Feel free to give any tips on how to make my pictures any better. Thanks.

Jive Turkey · 01-16-2013, 08:59 PM

for starters, try to post 3-4 photos TOPS. its hard to get a full reviews on all of them for armin.

some look over done, tone down that HDR look, it just doesn't work, need more natural looking shots. the first shot, the location doesn't seem to work my eyes want to stare at the grass and the garbage can, not the car. the beach photos are okay, but needs some work, as for the rest, IMO dont try to center the car, come out a bit, no need to give it such a tight frame, you can always crop in after the fact. also, notice how the sky in all your daytime shots is completely blown out.

INKMAN · 01-17-2013, 04:26 PM

I like the head on shot. The windshield could use some de-saturation but other than that it looks good to me! The sunrise (or sunset) picture would be a perfect candidate for some multiple exposures!

rsutton1223 · 01-19-2013, 04:03 PM

We got my son a new car today so I thought it would be funny to do a rig shot of it. It isn't perfect but it was a fun project for the day.

Here is the rig on the little car.

INKMAN · 01-19-2013, 08:38 PM

This deserves a stamp for the dedication and just pure awesomeness. Is this the Viper GTS car? I was looking at these when I was at target with my son. I need to get two of these for my twins so they can drag race!

Yep! On sale at Target for 125

INKMAN · 01-19-2013, 11:26 PM

Oh man I need to get them! I was going through some old shots to see if I can make them better since my editing has improved a little.
