C+C : Picture of Car

Nikon D90
Nikkor 70-210mm
Your thoughts?

Overall, a good exposure. Could it have benefited from a CPL, yes. You did a good job isolating the subject from the background, and the background isn't distracting. I don't know any of the shot particulars, as the EXIF is stripped. Overall, good job. This is a clean shot.

PS. If I had to nit pick, Clone out the stop sign, and maybe the curb on the left side.

Looks good! Only thing that is distracting in the background is the street sign and the other vehicle. Shouldn't be to hard to edit that out.

With the CPL, you thinking show harder reflection on that front glass, or see less reflection?

I'll try taking those out
I should try to detail that vehicle in the back a bit more, it's a police vehicle haha
Car people usually don't like law enforcement, so it might fit the shot

But yeah, I'll clone that car out

Bump, anyone else?

Haters are welcome

 

[o hey tyler]

Haters gon' hate.

Also, with the CPL I mean less reflections. PS, why are you selling all your photo gear?

When I started photography, I jumped in and bought many many 'affordable' lenses.
Now that I have more experience, I realize I don't need so many of these lenses.
Rather than having multiple 'affordable' lenses, that I don't use much, I want to have a smaller arsenal of higher-end lenses, that fit my shooting style.
I'm not selling everything, just those that I don't use
Also, paying for school.
I'm keeping my 16mm f2.8 wide, and I'm considering keeping the 70-210mm.

I'm looking into a 28-70 f2.8, a 16-50 f2.8, and I want something that shoots further and faster.
I was considering the Tokina 100mm 2.8, but I want something a bit further than that.

Bump,
C+C anyone?

Nice and clean love the colours. As clean as the Civic, this your car?

Thank you
The shot originally was warm like this, but just a tad bit cooler
I added a tiny bit of warmth in the white balance in post to give more of an autumn feel.
I thought it'd for better

And yes, this is my car

Bump, anyone have some thoughts, advice, tips?

 

[PatrickJamesYu]

Bump, more critiques?
I haven't gotten as much advice as I was searching for
This picture seems to have gotten much less hits than my "C+C" posts from the past

I love it! Probably cause I'm a fellow EP3 owner.. But still. I like the depth of field, and composition. I'm on my iPhone, but still looks good from here. Nice job.

Is that a Type R rep kit, or the real deal? Also, I know it might seem cliche, but maybe you could have turned your front wheels a little toward the left. I think it makes the stance look a little more aggressive.

Put a light (or 2) inside the passenger compartment.

Don't shoot cars without a CPL on the lens and the knowledge of how to effectively use the CPL (family of angles).

Thanks man.

Yes, the front is more obvious of a rep kit because as you can see the car is running a usdm bumper.
The real kit ft's only the jdm/edm/ukdm etc. bumpers.

And yes I think I should have turned it a tiny bit.
I usually don't as actually don't like it with the wheel turned
But I think maybe a subtle turn might help.
