Looks very Ultimate Lurker inspired
I'm not the biggest fan of the full dark look (Andrew has heard me say that plenty of times) but I think that the mixed lighting on the car is a bit of a problem overall. It's almost as if the car is Two-Face...the passenger side is really dark, but the driver side is bright and full of reflections. Yet, the passenger side headlight is clearly seen but we can't see any of the other car detail surrounding it. On top of that, the ground surrounding the car is kind of an odd, washed out grey, which doesn't match the high contrast of the car.

Sorry, I've had a bit of a rough week.
The composition is sound, but I might've gone just a little tiny bit lower in elevation. I also don't like how close the car is to the background...giving it a little more space I think would help the photo overall, so you don't feel so compressed. |

Looking for advice
Hi Armin,
Thank you so much for posting this thread! Your work is awesome! I've read and re-read your tips about 3 times now, and I really think they've helped my photos - so thank you! I was wondering if you might have a second to critique some of my photos. Here are two that I shot tonight and adjusted slightly in Photoshop's RAW editor. Any advice you could give would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! My 2010 OBS Friend's 2011 WRX |

So I decided I'm just going with the Fujifilm SL300. That's more camera than I need lol. I'll let photoshop handle the rest of the fancy process.

Drove around today and took some photos.
The shot from the rear isn't at all sharp and I should have cleaned the car off, but I like it otherwise. Think I need to invest in a circular polarizer: Oh, and a question on composition: More sky or less sky? I like both, but for different reasons. Last edited by DNut; 02-13-2013 at 09:12 PM. |

Here's my friend's 600rr shot with the T2i and cheap 50mm 1.8, edited in Lightroom 4. I forgot to bump up the shadows so the detail in inside the fairings aren't that visible. I also edit my photos on a laptop so I'm never 100% positive if the exposure is correct when I start to edit them in post processing because of the horrible viewing angles of laptop screens. Is the exposure pretty spot on? Or is it over/under exposed? Any constructive criticism is appreciated.
P.S. I know it's not a car and I limited the size to 500k in Lightroom, so it's not the best quality. Last edited by wutsup; 02-11-2013 at 07:54 PM. |

You sure it's not getting blocked if you're at work?

Ok so you can only see it if you're logged in on the r6 forum where it's hosted. Weird, I did this same method for my for sale thread and I can still see them when not logged in on other forum. Oh well lol

I noticed I can't attach photos, that's why I was attaching it to another forum and then just using that link here. And I don't use photobucket, flickr, dropbox, etc etc. Are attachments disabled until a certain amount of posts?

First off, gorgeous bugeye!
My comment on the first picture is that you got a little too low, which actually makes the car look like it sits higher than it really does as the camera is pointed up at it. If you're going to get that low, the car pretty much needs to be touching the ground as well, otherwise you risk it coming off like a truck since you're accenting all of that open pavement underneath it. I think being a few inches higher off the ground would have made all the difference, plus all of that stuff Armin and others always say about rule of thirds and not centering the subject in your photos. I'm guilty of that as well all of the time. |

So far so good though, you're definitely off to a good start! Give this another try during the daytime, since shooting at night is a bit more difficult overall than shooting during the day |

As for the second/third one, I prefer less sky, only because the snow/ice covered ground is more interesting than a cloudless sky. The car could maybe move a little more to the right and a tiny bit down in the frame, but it's still pretty good where it is. You'll probably want some more exposure overall though, since it's pretty dark compared to the first photo. |

Damn, that's a lot of snow! I like the first photo the best. The centered composition works great for how the crop, and it has almost a post-apocalyptic effect to it. I might try a different white balance for each of them though...you went a bit warm with these, but I'd be curious to see how it'd look with a colder white balance instead.
