ENJOY!

 

great pics!!!!!!!!

 

The car's lines are hard to see.

Maybe some more light on the car would help.

 

gotta agree ^^^ the filter and light on the last pic make it look like a die-cast model... Still, pretty darned nice!

 

professional? lol need a professional to fix that in photoshop, they could be nice pictures but very bad lighting. :P

 

I agree.... NOt bad pictures but not pro job at all... The lines and shodows on the car make it look like a black mass not a killer EVO...

 

Yea black is realy hard color to photograph at night, but heres a link to some other pics we took that night.

 

Those other pics look a lot better and it has everything to do with the color/lighting combination... I really like the first 3 BMW pics (Even though the Evo's a MUCH better looking car )

 

sorry to say this, but as an art director for a magazine, the only pics I would use are corey1.jpg and the last one. Your yellow casts from the bulbs is way to overwhelming, heres some tips, when shooting at night, never shoot inabsolute darkness unless you are willing to do so at like f22 for like an hour. If you know different lights affect film in different ways. IE tungsten bulbs create yellow casts on film, Halogen casts green, etc. buy the proper film for that situation. If shooting digitally set you white balance to compensate for such light shifts.

Your composition excells at times. and yes when shooting a black car at night try black and white film OR park it somewhere where moonlight hits it and do really long exposures.

 

ooh and stay away from parking garages they shake and that is why a couple of the evo pics are blurry

 

good point... I never thought of that. I guess bridges too... I need to get some good pics of my car, and this is all good advice.

 

like everyone else said, those are hardly pro shots...amatuer with a fancy digi cam at best. The car is not tack sharp in hardly any of the pictures...and why so dark? Put some light on it and light it up some.

 

sterling another tip, invest in a tripod, also camera sotres sell these mini trippods for digi cams I love mine allows you to gett really low, and they also work for film cameras. if anyone wants advice please dont hesitate to PM I would love to help out fellow owners and friends.

What a great job. I love photography, and have travelled extensively and taken some good pics, but I have only my own personal tastes to go by (no training, per se). I have a mini-tripod I got from Best Buy, and it has proven very useful. Here's a nice off-topic pic I took recently in Mexico:



It always helps if you have a good subject... Like the Evo

 

wow im realy getting ripped apart here lol. Personally i think they look better than 95% of the pics I see posted on this board, but thats just me.....
