Car looks good, although I might turn down the luminance on the tail lights a little bit to try to recover some of the details. I can also see some cloning remnants on the rear window area. I know it's the nature of rig shots, but I've never been a fan of the shaky lights in the background of rig shots.

The tones and contrast look great to me. A few things do bug me though...the ground doesn't really look wet, but you've got water drops on the hood of the car. I'd fix going one way or the other just for consistency's sake. I also think there's a tiny bit too much space on the left side of the frame, and there's a weird highlight in front of the rear driver's side car that isn't consistent with the shadow. The focus point also seems to be off a tiny bit, since the driver's side front look a bit sharper than the passenger side. Finally, the windshield is almost a little too dark, since it looks darker than the bottom air dam area of the front bumper (where a FMIC would be). |

Nice and sharp! Any way you can try to recover some of the highlights from the sky? If you want to get real ambitious, maybe even try compositing in some clouds...but you'd want to make sure the sun was shining clearly no matter what to match the shadow and rest of the scene.

I'm with you on this one. I love the way the sky is and the way the light is hitting the back of the car.

Yeah! When the wife said she wanted to move here......I said OK
Because of stuff like this! Pictures really don't give it the justice it deserves. Its still breathe taken every day! Coldmm... I couldn't really get anymore room. I had already climbed up the hill on the other side of the road and I was standing in the bushes on rocks. I also shot it at 70mm on my 70-200. I should have switched to the 18-105 but it was 18*f at 9000ft today, and I was freezzzzzzing! Last edited by rsw0124; 12-10-2012 at 11:28 PM. |

I apologize before hand for a slight thread jack here, but there seems to be a great number of amateur and professional photographers that frequent this thread.
I have been watching camera deals unfold since Black Friday. I have found this deal and I was wondering would this be a good opportunity for a newbie to jump into the DSLR game? $600 - Canon EOS Rebel T4i Digital Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II Lens Kit http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...REBEL_T4I.html I have previously only owned point and shoots but really want to pick up a new hobby. I have always wanted to get into photography but never had the time or money to do so. Now that I am out of college I have a bit more time and can spare the cash to get into the game. So overall, is this a good "starter kit" for an inexperienced newbie? Thanks in advance. |

I would say yes, that is a good starter kit. I have the T2i and it has been a great camera for the price, however I wish it had the option of the swiveling screen that the T4i has. The automatic settings make it very noob friendly and it has all the manual setting abilities so as you learn more you can advance with this camera.
With the right glass it is a great camera. I traveled to Alaska this summer and rented a 100x300 L series for the trip. Paired up with the crop sensor of the T2i I was able to capture some pretty amazing (imho) wildlife shots. I have done everything from automotive shoots to weddings to your standard landscapes, though with far less success than some of the others in this thread. I think the post from rzimm above is very much related to your question. It's not the camera that takes good pictures, it's the photographer. ANY camera can produce a work of art, in the right hands. With that in mind I would say the T4i is a great start to get into the world of dslr. Fellow noob and Canon fan, T |

Great camera to start off on, I just recently started with a t3i, but you might want to look into the 18-135 kit lens. It will be better than the 18-55 and give more range

Well...there's a few issues with this photo that I'm sure I covered in the tips and tricks. The main one is the sharp angle to the photo, which doesn't really help the composition in any way. It also probably would've been better if you didn't cut off the car where you did, and if you turned the wheels to face the camera. Finally, the time of day is a bit harsh since the sun is shining really brightly on the car.

I really like this one, especially how it's a newish modern sports car with a fading, neglected background. I think the car might be a little low in the frame, but it still works with the composition. If anything, I might try to make the car stand out a little more. I know you can't really change it, but since the car and the background are both pretty sharp (this is where spacing the car from the background helps), they kind of merge together and thus the car doesn't quite stand out so much. You might be able to isolate the car and process the background a little differently, but you just need to be careful about doing that so that it doesn't look unnatural. |
