View Full Version : My Best ever Photo - comments welcome Chris Barn 29 October 2006, 19:30 I am not really a photographer at all, But took this of my new car this morning and love it. http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a340/Barny1/DSCN0233-1.jpg Proud of car - proud of photo. Shoot me down in flames!!!! Boxcar racer 29 October 2006, 19:35 yep it is good :D ricardo 29 October 2006, 20:35 Great location and fantastic lighting, really brings out the curves of the car ! I'm sure the car will be photographed at every opportunity while it is that shiny. I guess that means a day or so... :) GarethE 29 October 2006, 20:45 It's a Lotus - had you broken down ? ;) :D Seriously, nice pic in difficult light especially with a dark/black car. It would be nice to see a pic from the same spot with the car facing you. Gareth CharlieWhiskey 29 October 2006, 21:51 Very nice shot in difficult lighting:thumb: Nice car too :D Chris Barn 29 October 2006, 22:43 It's a Lotus - had you broken down ? ;) :D Seriously, nice pic in difficult light especially with a dark/black car.

Gareth As I said I'm NOT a photographer... http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a340/Barny1/DSCN0236.jpg CharlieWhiskey 29 October 2006, 22:50 I'd take that down by 1/2 a stop perhaps, but don't shoot it so square next time ;) the reason the first one looks so good is the angle, where you have the reflections in the side of the car and the proportions of the shot fit the 'Rule of 3rds' better :) Chris Barn 29 October 2006, 22:52 I'd take that down by 1/2 a stop perhaps, but don't shoot it so sqaure next time ;) Hey, as I said I'm not a photographer. Point and shoot on AUTO. Another Phot fro this morning though http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a340/Barny1/DSCN0235.jpg CharlieWhiskey 29 October 2006, 23:03 Better :thumb: The car looks better slightly under exposed. What kit are you using? Chris Barn 29 October 2006, 23:30 Better :thumb: The car looks better slightly under exposed. What kit are you using? Nikon Coolpix 8800.. set to Auto.. ricardo 30 October 2006, 08:51 That last one puts the car between the line on the road and the 'lines' made by the clouds, which has the effect of giving an impression of direction and 'speed'. The lower viewpoint helps as well, in your first one the top of the car and the horizon were getting mixed up with each other, this one gives the car more presence IMHO. Now what you need is the lighting from the first one and the viewpoint of the last one... :) Porkypanther 03 November 2006, 14:36 Great use of light in the top photo IMHO, normally only achieveable for me with a filter.
