well you cant pay for scenery either lol

 

he should have purchased a $1k camera, spent the other $800 on some photography and editing classes or maybe hookers. and the other $1k on coils for you.

 

you guys are ruthless lol

 

i think people just need to be more modest, other wise expect it.

this thread could have easily been labeled "friend got a new camera" and no one would have said anything negative.

 

Truth. Skillz iz lacking.

Needs to look at some editing tutorials.

Example, 2nd picture, your car is muddy and flat. Clearly he bought a $2800 camera thinking that it would take the sickest photos evar. He must shoot on auto mode because the camera compensated its exposure for the sun being in the shot, so it stopped down to the extreme, hence why your car came out pretty underexposed. Or he just doesnt know how to shoot in manual mode properly.

$10,000 camera or $400 camera on auto mode, they all do essentially the same basic functions: change shutter speed, change iso, and/or change aperture.

 

all he needs to do now is learn how to shoot. LOL.

 

It's just the fact that everyone who clicked this thread probably expected really nice pictures including I and are disappointed when they see the pics. Pictures look over processed.

 

We all cant have your photo skillz

 

I like 2 and 4 a little cropping some proper editing and getting rid of that **** tastic logo would be amazing

 

car looks good... but a $2800 camera means nothing without quality editing and skills.

i have seen $300 cameras do better... but practice will make him better.

 

nice pictures! so your in the bay area what part?

 

lol

 

Nicee car...and +1 on editing could be better.

 

my $150 nikon 12 mp point and shoot can do that....

 

I'm not a huge fan of fisheyes in most cases, and I hate non-level shots.
Combine the two, with some unholy distortion of the evo's clean lines - me no likey.
I'm just getting into photography now so I'm still getting to grips with the whole thing but yeah, I can recognise mediocre work!
