nice

any plans on lowering it?

GLHWCU · 08-07-2007, 06:41 PM

yeah badley, jus dont have the money right now

97TurboDSM · 08-07-2007, 07:10 PM

pictures arent too terribly bad, tough lighting situation you had there. car def needs lowered and maybe an inch or so bigger on the wheels, unless they are already 16". need some work with your composition but that should come with practice. also, is that somewhere near wcu campus?

yeah i got no clue what the heck your talking about, sorry im new to the camera world. nah its near my house in havertown, off west chester pike, yeah they are 16'

oh my fault. by composition i just mean the way you have the car positioned in the photo. its hard to tell what the main focus is in some of them. for example in one of them you have half of your car and a street sign. i'm assuming you were trying to include both the car and the sign in the picture but half of the car got cut off. i think that happened in a few of them actually. i would suggest if you want to have both in the picture, just take a few steps backwards so you can get both objects in, or move up so you just have the sign. as for the lighting, a very bright sun can be torture on a photographer because its hard to get the lighting right and it seems as tho it was pretty damn sunny during your shots. im not sure what camera you're using so its hard to advise any further but just try and make it more clear what your subject is in some of the photos

GLHWCU · 08-07-2007, 07:38 PM

i see what your saying, on the half car one i wanted half the car, i thought it would look cool just the front half with the sign, the rim one i liked the most and for the others i didnt really have something i wanted to focus on, more or less wanted the car with a backround. I tried a few night shots cause i wanted to get the park with the sun going down in it but everytime i took a pic it was horrible. either the car would come out with flash or without flash or on night mode it would be just black, it was crap. I bought a cannon powershot630 8mp easy to use and takes nice pics with a hell of a zoom

jspek · 08-07-2007, 11:14 PM

ok since im "supposedly" god around here make sure you get the whole car in the picture. and im guessing you dont have a tripod, but just make sure you take the picture straight. oh and i think the first one is a cool idea, just get the hell out of the drive way hahaha.

maximaserg · 08-08-2007, 02:03 AM

The pinstriping is ugly, your wheels look like they came from walmart and your exhaust is hideous. Yea, it's a Civic, but you could've done better.
