Nikons have a tendency to oversaturate red, so I often actually tone down the red while keeping the saturation up for other colors. The best part of this tool is that if you click on that circle on the top left directly underneath "hue," your cursor becomes a crosshair with double-sided arrow next to it that points up and down. With this cursor, you can click and drag either up or down on any color in the photo to increase or decrease its saturation, respectively of course. This panel is essential since as you can see, you can make these adjustments also to Hue, Luminance, or all of them at the same time. As far as composition goes though, you have the fire hydrant at a thirds cross point, but the car isn't...which in a way makes the viewer focus more on the fire hydrant rather than the car. |

What do you guys think of this one? I bought some Neutral Density filters, so it should make it easier for next time...

It's nice that the digicams allow this as a built-in feature. Back in the day, you used to have to purchase a new grid screen and put it in. I recall putting one in my N90s, and that actually was sort of annoying because it involved a set of tweezers. The F-series of cameras made it very easy, however, and were more plentiful and cheaper to replace. I always had the Type-R or E screen with grids in my F3, and they were very helpful with composition. Last edited by NewsPhotog; 03-19-2010 at 01:06 AM. |

As you can see, it's actually more separated into quarters rather than thirds, but it's still going to be very helpful, especially over not having the grid at all Then again, the thirds cross points already have available focus points on them, so it shouldn't be a problem anyway. |

I just got the camera this last Monday night and started using it after the battery had a few hours to charge up and such. That was actually one the first settings I found when I was playing with it before opening the manual on it. From my understanding most of the newer cameras are getting this as an option. |

He (Ver) has provided me with much needed insight. I am located in a small town and a buiz opportunity presented itself (met the co-owner at a bar ), a night club open up (1-of-10 ) and approached him (Verdugo) with some advice on portfolio work as I have never thought of photography as a line of work. He provided me with some very constructive criticism that has aided me in my efforts to become a better photographer. Quote:

I just snapped these. This is sitting across the street from my house. Sorry the first one sucks and the other three aren't great. Still learning but wanted to record something most people never see. Spyker C8 Spyder SWB.
These were the best of the bunch I snapped. |

That Spyker is an amazing car!
Took my son out to the park and took advantage of my freshly washed car. CandC is greatly appreciated. You cant get any better without knowing the flaws. |

Your composition is quite good on these, although I usually prefer a tighter crop for the centered ones. I also probably would've turned the wheels a tiny bit more, except for the third to last shot where I would've kept them completely straight. The processing overall is pretty good, but as I always tell everyone with white cars, pay extra attention to make sure you get a proper exposure without overexposing the white. You do have some dark shadows in some of them, so it might take a little more processing work to keep detail in those shadows while still making sure the white doesn't get overexposed. Nice work!

Good job getting low for both of these shots, but these are a tad underexposed, and both a bit center-weighted. Also, the disadvantage of shooting in a park like that is you have all these trees growing out of your car. You can also benefit from polarizing the windshield.

I realized the first one wasn't level when I opened it on the computer. I can't see half this stuff on the little screen. When you say the next two are center-weighted, is that a bad thing? What would have been a more appropriate way to photograph those two items?

ok armin and others... lol.
let read the damage... lol. Let me know what you think of this one. this is the first in my series that I just started editing. There was a car show today at a local "car museum" and everyone brought there stuff out and I went around taking shots and such. I did a lot of editing on this one image removing shadows from other cars and a couple poles from the background and such. If you could please critique the following mainly: image quality (lighting and such) granted this was 4pm-ish as I didn't wasn't able to stick around. Watermark: I've been experimenting with a new style. let me know what you think of it. Should I make it transparent or should I just have it full on? |
