Excellent lens choice. I think the first one could be a little less centered (move the wheel toward the left so there's not as much flat rubber), and definitely without the red border. The second one is a perfect candidate to put that M3 emblem in a rule of thirds crosspoint, but I'd also stop it down just a tiny bit to make sure the full emblem was sharp.

Gorgeous subjects. Anyone who calls themselves a true car enthusiast wouldn't ever call those cars garbage. Such excellent subjects really deserve a better location for the shoot though...all the trees in the background are pretty distracting, not to mention the houses. It looks like a tough time of day to shoot too, since you've got harsh lighting and shadows just about everywhere. The compositions are pretty decent, but I would've still gotten lower to shoot the car exteriors and I wouldn't have things quite so centered in some of the photos either.

I completely agree with all of the comments, especially about the location; The car only gets 8 MPG at best, so we had to keep it extremely local. We also didn't meet up until 9 or 10 AM and it was a bright and sunny day. What I would have given for 6 AM and some clouds! These two any better in terms of composition? (Still have issues with the location, I know) Last edited by DNut; 03-03-2012 at 10:05 AM. |

Yeah, definitely need to get a polarizer and go back with that and your tripod Compositionally, it's not bad, but I would definitely turn the wheels to face the camera. I don't like the flat aspect ratio either, and it would look better with the car at a thirds crosspoint. Once all that is well and done, I'd at least clone out the sign or move the car away so that the sign wasn't in view. Finally, with such a bright background, you're more than likely going to have to use multiple exposures to get everything balanced right. |

Well I have not posted anything in here all year which is a big fail. Since the new year I have upgraded my gear and got a 135L with a circle polarizer. Here is my first automotive shoot even though it is not a car. I am also upgrading to my laptop as my 6 year old Dell is just to slow for editing and pictures. As always comments criticism is welcome I know its not a car but whatever advice you have it welcome. Yes, my first mistake was shooting in the middle of the day but its the only time I have had time to between work and a project I am doing.
