Mike, Nice photo there!!

 

[Al-Wazeer]

very nice photo
but i think it's a little dark, you can't see the rims
(other than that it's look like a topgear photo! )

Awesome shot.

I just wish the car wasn't so underexposed. The background is great, I would just like to see the car brighter compaired to it. But yeah, you can't see the wheels because of it.

Composition is good though. If I had a wall like that I would be shooting cars there constantly.


Here is a graffiti wall in Minneapolis I have to work with. The coolest part is the artist redoes it every spring.

Nice looking M Coupe. I like the shot as well. Great composition and lighting on the wall. Maybe a strobist approach on the car to light it up a little bit but not too much.

Grafitti and car shots = hotness! :heart:

I need to find a grafitti wall in my area this summer so I can shoot my car.

Was this shot at dusk?

Thanks everyone.. It was hard to get the wheels the way I wanted (being black doesn't help) but I think it came out okay overall.

I took a few other shots that day (around noon), but the ground in the other pictures was muddy and it just doesn't make the picture look right.

Is this an HDR?

The highlights seem to blotchy.

 

[SneakyMike]

^Yes

I've found the trick to "topgear photos" bump up the contrast a lot, bump up the saturation, and add lens vignetting...TADA!

As for the original picture, the composition is good, but the photo is a little dark and soft. What gear are you using?

 

[Parkerman]

^Yes

Then rework your blending and tone mapping... It could most likely look better.

As I said... The highlights are blotchy.. and its dark where you need some light.
