I think you should lower the rear atleast another inch or 2. That rake doesn't match the car bro

Otherwise, lookin good. Im not much of a judge for photography...

MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!!

I don't know a thing about Photography Alex, but the rear sits way to high compared to the front. My car is also uneven, but with your little car it just jumps out at you. lol

^^ what they said

jspek · 01-12-2009, 04:10 PM

eh not bad.

97TurboDSM · 01-12-2009, 04:59 PM

every one of those is underexposed and it looks like your WB may be slightly off. the car looks good but work on getting the proper exposure for your photos and it will look 100x better.

namdoogwerdna · 01-12-2009, 05:13 PM

Same Spot?

I agree with 97Turbo, your WB is off, but the composure is alright. I don't like the angle in number 2 but maybe that's just me. And number 4 looks especially underexposed. You can do more PP to get more dimension out of the sky as well I think.

CleanNeon98 · 01-12-2009, 05:17 PM

Yep Andrew, same spot. I got the idea from that shot but I failed at replicating haha

dt98gsr · 01-12-2009, 05:25 PM

I agree with what others have said about the exposure.

namdoogwerdna: I think that's a good side by side comparison of what some minor adjustments in post processing can do for a shot. Not saying that Bob achieved that beautiful shot simply from his post processing work, but I do think it helped and these shots would probably benefit from some.

I find this time of year can be tough because the colors can be so bland with no leaves on the trees, dead grass, and cloudy skies. Thats why I think it makes choosing an interesting backdrop even more important and possibly adjusting the color saturation, and other things in post processing even more important.

I like them. You should take some shots of my car someday.

97TurboDSM · 01-12-2009, 08:12 PM

i just picked up a new monitor and they look better on here but they are still a tad underexposed. I do agree with dave that picking a background this time of year can be tricky with the bland colors but if they're exposed right they will look great.

JDMTyler3326 · 01-12-2009, 08:27 PM

Nice shots. I say lower it a little more and maybe some niice rims

Haha I don't blame you it's a sweet spot, but Bob got there earlier in the fall so I think the trees had cooler colors. I'd like to shoot there in the spring when the trees are blossoming.

jspek · 01-12-2009, 10:28 PM

you all fail, i was there first 2 years ago.

Slow_EJ8 · 01-12-2009, 10:52 PM

Yeah i agree...nothing really wrong with the shots besides maybe needing a polarizer. But the light is just blah. When i shot that photo of my car there the light was really good. The sun rays were hitting the grass hill in the background and the light on the car was good as well. I took the same exact shot a couple minutes earlier with the sun behind the clouds and the photo looked real flat....nothing really popped.

damn JSPEK..dope picture!!!
