C+C : Picture of Car

[PatrickJamesYu]

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).

I'll definitely try that
Sadly I can't high speed sync my strobes
I like the DOF, so how would one use my strobes to work?
ND flter?

Also, are you saying that it's a must to see in the inside of the car?
Does a photo where the window's are very reflective as such, work?
There was nothing to show off on the inside of the car, so I chose not to use a CPL

And can you explain a bit more on your second statement?
Thanks!

I like it a lot. I agree with the stop sign though. The curb doesn't bother me, although the sign does. Overall it looks great!

 

[PatrickJamesYu]

Okay, so I'll keep in mind to keep those out of the picture.
There was another stop sign to the right, but that I simply cropped out.

Bump, anyone else?
I'm looking for more constructive criticism
Thanks

although autumn, i think it is a bit warm since. the leaves and trees say it all. (i think the color) the car is silver gray? the black roof rack blends with the busy bg and the others already said by the other posters. maybe some editing?

 

[PatrickJamesYu]

Thanks!


Yes the car is Satin Silver Metallic
So a silver metallic finish.
So the roof rack blends in too much?
How would you recommend fixing this?
Obvious I can compose the shot better and do a different background, but as far as editing.
More OOF background?

 

[bianni]

yes the rack blends with the bg. maybe lighten the bg and blur it a little and maybe the white balance. something like this

Clone out the leaves by the back tire and possible the cracks in the asphalt. I kind of like how it leads up to the car though so the cracks may actually help the image. Would have to see it both ways.
