Got and did some shooting for a little while today. I liked how some of the greyscale images came out.
A few questions: Does the lens flare work here? I tried to highlight this portion of the interior- critiques on composition please. I tried to do a bit of split toning here- never worked much with that in the past. (Armin I watched that video you posted on your new website and was inspired to try it). I think it makes the photo have a nice feel to it. Critiques welcome as I am just another normal guy that really wants to improve. |

i gotta try the same, last one looks great, what'd you do exactly for post processing/?
i think the glare would work if the glare wasn't on the car, but if the car was on one side ad the glare was covering another part of the picture, you know? then again i'm a newb so disregard everything i say |

IMO just edit out that lens flare, I don't think it's really working for that photo.

Newbie here, Went on a super quick shoot with my friend and his Saabaru. Out of 93 photos I think four are worthy of my portfolio, here are two of those.

I really wish the hood was down in the first shot. I have the same set up as you but haven't used my 50mm for any automotive stuff. I'll have to try it out.

Had a chance to take a few shots recently. Comments appreciated.
I pretty much don't use my 50mm f/1.8 but thought I'd try a front shot with it and again at 105mm f/5.6 (with the 18-105 kit lens). The bokeh is fantastic at f1.8, really makes me wish I could afford a 70-200mm f2.8. I think i'm going to need to get photoshop soon I'm tired of running into limits of what I can and can't remove with Lightroom. I have another shot or two from that set with parking lines in them but can't get the colors/shadows right when removing them. 50mm by coldmm803, on Flickr 105mm by coldmm803, on Flickr Wish the guardrail wasn't there but i'm not editing that out with only Lightroom.

In case anyone is interested, gizmodo is having a nice little car contest for this week's photo competition.

[/url] DSC_4015-2 by coldmm803, on Flickr[/quote] no offense i hope you don't mind but i was using ps elements to show you how well it gets rid of distractions and at $75 it's well worth the price compared to the CS programs. |

Went to the track today. It's nice to shoot something different. I'm proud of some of these.
Side note: These were all shot with an umbrella in my hand as well. |

The color shot is also composed pretty well, but I don't like how parts of the car are cut off, specifically the tip of the exhaust and the top tip of the spoiler. |

The calendar photo would look better if you had the car at the top left thirds crosspoint. Overall it also seems a little soft as well. |

The background works, but the car is a bit too close to it and since you don't have more than one flash to really create some background separation, you've got a photo that doesn't even have bokeh to create background separation with your ***402;1.8 lens. The hood really should also be down in the first shot. |

As for the last shot, I don't mind the guardrail so much as how dark the photo is overall. Jeff's edit is a good example of how good it can look with a bit more exposure. If you keep it as dark as it is, I think the car just kinda gets lost with everything else because of the tones involved. |

Pretty good, especially given the conditions! They're all nice and sharp, but given the rain, I probably would've used a little warmer white balance. Also, don't forget to use your polarizer on the track too
