[QUOTE="eric, post: 706777, member: 22327"] yeah, not the best advice blizare - i'm not super thrilled with those shots either, but that was simply rude. MacRab. you've got a couple very nice cars there. some good advice here too, especially the bit about shooting at dawn or dusk, those are definitely the magic hours for lighting cars. village idiot, as usual offers some great technical advice about reflectivity. one hting i noticed that seemed to be missing was persepective. make sure you take a few "standard" shots, for sure, but take some chances too. get down low, lay down, or use a small tripod as low as it will sit, get up high too, bring a step-stool or ladder or use your environment to try different angles. don't be too afraid to crop parts of the car, but keep composition in mind. For example, in chris' last three shots of the 'stang: in shot 3, cropping the bottom much closer to the bottom of the car, and much off of the left side, would have done wonders. in shot 4, cropping feels forced, very tight framing would have worked better than the chopping of the bumper and right rear tire. in shot 5, well, this could have gone either way really. opening it up to avoid the akward crop would have been safe, but i would probably have opted to tighten all sides of the shot for a more dramatic effect. tilting the shot so the rear of the car was higher and the shadow under the tires was horizontal would have worked well too... hang on, i'll show you what i mean. ;P here's about a minute and a half with the blindingly simple microsoft picture editor and shot 5... hope you don't mind Chris :) [IMG]http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=9179&d=1218378891[/IMG] [ATTACH=full]9179[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
