It's been a while, finally some inspiration

[benpsut]

Since I first joined, back in christmasish, I haven't had the time to really pick up the camera. But now finally, a new purchase has given me some inspiration. Comments/Input welcome

The colors are REALLY brilliant in these, I love it...

Number one - I'd love to see it tried again but *slightly* more stopped down to get the whole "aveo" thing in focus - LOVE the bokeh. What lens was this?

2 - I'm not a fan of the whole "I just fell down, I think I'll take a picture now" thing, but whatever.

The other 2 are very nice I just didn't find anything glaring to comment on except that the right side of the sky in the last one seems ever-so-slightly blown out.

Thanks man

Oh, and that was with the kit lens, it was tough to determine what part of the letters I wanted to focus on. The above is what looked "right" to me, ya know? j

Well, that's why I suggested stopping down some - another click or two down and it should all be in focus.

What do you get like 70 Miles per galon with that thing?

 

[benpsut]

lol, not quite. From full to running-on-fumes-better-get-to-BP-fast, around 36-38.

Unfortunately, your shots are all blocked by some crappy Chevy thing, hehehe. J/K'ing . But I'll take 25 mpg if I'm stuck with a Chevy to get 30+. Never could drive them and their brake/steering designs.

Clean that bug off of shot number 4!!!

Hehehe. I had a similar shot of my Mazda. Big ole bug right smack in the middle of the grill above the bumper. Easily rectified in photo editor.

cool what kind of camera?

 

[benpsut]

XTi. I want to sell it and either get the XSi or 40D. XSi seems to be the cheaper way to go, don't know how or where I could sell the XTi, it's pretty new, and I bought a Quantaray telephoto to sell with it.

good shots, not into vehicle photography too much but I really like these, colours and detail is great

Thanks man

excellent shots, only problem i see that i think should be worked on in WHAT is in focus and what isnt.

For example the "aveo" in the first shot, might look better if the left edge of the "A" is crisp, instead of the right edge of it.

Such as #4, whats in focus? the mirror/door/wheel? I think it might look better if the edge of the head lights are crisp and then fades to the back out of focus, make sense?

just my 2 cents

 

[benpsut]

Yup makes sense to me
