2 and 4 are the only ones that I like. It's particularly because it's showing the vehicle in an off-road environment and it seems as they are action shots.

 

[RichieT]

Very nice. I like 1,2, and 4. The fence pole in 3 is distracting and I hate rock posing in general. Looks like some nice trails.

 

[bribrius]

Looks like fun. 1,4, the best 2 okay 3 agree on the fence post and it looks a little too hard worked for being staged.

Thankyou for posting and adding some variety i personal love off roading and off road shots.


edit: unphoto related. But i would avoid doing #3 anyway. The setup you have doesn't appear to be absorbing too stiff and not enough travel. Never pulled apart one of them but in other vehicles noticed #3 can be a real hub and bearing assembly killer. Hubs are primarily made to take the stress vertical, push it out the side they don't hold up well. They really don't like side stress the bearings aren't designed for it. upgrade the suspension and bearings first
two cents

Nice, i would change#1. It almost feels like a landscape maybe turn the truck more to see more of the side. It just looks like its blocking a landscape shot

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I've been experimenting to see which focal lengths work best when taking pictures of cars. I tend to like the 35mm-70mm. Any advice in terms of choosing the right focal length?

Can I get some tips on how to achieve this look?

I would say you need to disconnect those swaybar links to get some articulation but I ride a jeep and I don't even know if you can disconnect stock swaybar links on a Toyota err... Rav 4?

Same 1, 2 and 4 are cool, 3 is a bit much for my eyes haha

 

[Msteelio91]

2 and 4 are my favorite. Nice truck, they're fun off road

You might want to just make a habit of blacking out plate numbers. Depending on the state, people can get names, home addresses, loan status, smog status etc from a plate number

There is no easy to disconnect them. It's an FJ Cruiser not a Rav 4

i heard they are pretty good offroad, but the rear visibility sucks. true?

Yeah the front visibility isn't the best either. The A and C pillars are just massive. And the seats block the view through the back side windows.
