I took some shots for a friend a few days ago, just asking for some comments, tips and suggestions. Thanks











Thank you. I'm a freshman in highschool. So please forgive me if I can be quite ignorant haha

On #3, watch out for things that appear to be growing from the car.
ie; poles

I would vary up your angles a little bit too. Get down low, up high, sideways.

Automotive photography is one of my passions...

I like the last picture. It's a pretty good shot and has the density.

Does it have a V8 in it? Because if it does, that would be awesome.

Well the car is centered in every picture. Try offsetting it and following the rule of thirds.

Most of the pictures are over contrasted.

The temperature is very cold in 1, 2 and 4.

Black cars are the toughest to photograph. I have 2 black cars, so I know. Black "pops" compared to other paints, but they are highly reflective as you can see. Be mindful of your surroundings to get a cleaner, less distracting reflection. Try parking the car in a shaded area where there won't be any harsh sun light reflection.

This is what I first noticed.

I am with them! #3 is my favorite but a little sweeping (kicking with your feet, scooping with your hands etc...) of the leaves out of the frame would have made it much more appealing. The poles would be easy to get rid of post, so that doesnt bother me as much.

Dont get me wrong, I am not saying I can do ANY better I am just offering my opinions!

What? You are going to photoshop out the poles in shot #3 in post?
Think for a second how funky that's going to look....

I'd like to see that...:lmao:

1 and 2 would pass for magazine shots. I can tell you that much. the cool temp doesn't bother me at all. the rest were ok, not digging them as much.

Though about it before I posted. Would look the same as any other support less over hang does...

hope the op doesnt mind... I dont see where your idea that it would look rediculous is founded. i think it looks fine.

Note: I am well aware that this was a horrible coverup of the poles, i just did it quickly to get a point across!

Huh...

You know...with a little bit of work it could turn out OK...
I rescind my previous statement. I apologize.
