First attempt with an SLR....2006 GTO

[gconnoyer]

My first attempt at it, and still getting used to all of the NEW **** that my sweet '06 Point and shoot Nikon didnt have. Just gonna take time/practice to learn and get used to making the adjustments.

So any constructive criticism is appreciated!

One thing I will say, its hard to tell how in focus you have the background on the little ass LCD. So thats just something I'll have to get used to.

Also, I went out and started at about 230, definitely not the best time. Nice harsh sun LOL.

Let me know what you think!

I really like the interior shots, especially #2. The exterior shots are kinda dull. Could be the harsh sun. Keep an eye on the background too (blue dumpster)

 

[gconnoyer]

Yea I saw the dumpster there, and just couldnt position the car to get it out of the way LOL

A polarizing filter would do wonders for controlling the reflections and saturation. Also, an overcast day would give much richer color and detail.

I love me a nice goat. Was a time when I almost got one. The gas mileage killed it for me...


Def get a polarizer. Def get out at 8:00PM or 5:00AM.

oh and try turning the wheels and play around with the angles. This was taken w/a p&s but I like the angle.

If you can't position your subject, position yourself and recompose.

I actually have a tinted UV filter on there, if thats what you mean.

Thanks for the link!

Eh mine is a 6spd, stock 3.46's, cam/boltons (makes 458/414 to the wheels on a mustang dyno) and still pulls down 25 on the highway. I'm just easy on her in the city. I usually get 18mpg avg for a tank....I'm ok with that for what the car is.

Went 11.97 @ 117.5 with a ****ty 1.9 60' so there is a TON of time to pick up off the line.

Your blues and greens seem a bit over saturated to me.

Same car different name!

I wish we got FPV here in the states...guess there's no market for 'ute's and high HP sedans in the US. Too bad...

Yea thats GTO blasphemy. Should have bought a 240 or something. Form>Function is what ricers do since their cars arent fast....you dont do that to a (stock) 400hp car.
