Saturday, March 28, 2009 10:54 AM
here we go guys. i am kinda going backwards here. starting with the end of the night and working through the rest of the photos. we had a great night, perfect weather. if only Brandon could keep his battery from dieing..... anyway i am still working through the rest of the photos, but i will post a "teaser" and then i will update the post when i get the rest of the photos finished.

i hope everyone likes what they see, and if you have any comments/criticism please, let me know. i am always trying to improve my photography(trial and error thus far)

The lighting and being so focused on picture is what I meant by it. Could be my monitor.

Looks like he may need to shoot with a bit lower iso. Other than that, the cars look great. Keep up the great work man..

I need to meet up with you some night, Raleigh isn't that far away from me. Only thing holding me back right now is being sick. I'm pretty much rockin' stock, but lacking funds are keeping it that way for now.

Nice shots and for some odd reason I like the dark spray on your front bumper. Makes me think you should get the front and back [when you get one] lip and sides done in the same black [assumed]. It reminds me of the Monte Carlo SS with the red badges, pinstripe, black body and silver kit.

when she gets painted, she will be a darker gun metal color. i am waiting till i can afford to do it right, instead of cheaping out, and having the paint go to @!#$ in 2 years.

for the lower iso, would you recommend that for only the night time photographs? or all of them. i will have to look at what the camera was set at from that night. i dont remember off the top of my head. also, the last batch of photos are uploading. so check back!

You should try and shoot the lowest iso possible. With still pictures, you should be able to use one of the lowest iso settings on your camera provided you have enough light, you will have to take longer exposures with a tri-pod but it will get rid of the noise. You only should use a higher iso to capture images that are in motion, it will make night and difference. Just a little help, tkae it as you will, I took a photography class at osu for fun, but I don't have all that much experience, so someone else may be able to give you better advice.

setting your white balance should also help with some of the yellow lighting you were shooting.

nice shots though. cars look great

Dash looks good mike. This is the first time I've seen pics of it. You've had that bumper for 2 years now, put some paint on it already!

to be honest i think all of these pictures need ALOT of work. i dont think any of them look anywhere close to good. as if you took with a point and shoot camera.

for one, what would ever make you think was using anything but my wallmart special camera?

second, like i stated. I have tought my self everything i know, thus why i said, i am looking for criticism to help myself get better. NOT for somone to come in and say "they need alot of work..." what does that do for anyone but make yourself look like an @!#$?

with that being said.... i have not had ALOT of experience with this camera and outdoor settings. most of my time with this camera has been spent indoors.









but with that being said... if you have something to add to this post to either further the post, in a positive way, cool. i am all ears. if you want to roll in here to be a prick, just move on to your next thread.

the car - needs a rear bumper/lip to match rest of car and take off that front bowtie/emblem or paint it black it would go along nice with all the black.
the pics - the first batch w/night pics you have to play with your white balance and shutter speed. i think every $100 and up camera has that option.

all in all, A LOT of pics, few were pretty good.

I apologize for coming off rude. i missed the statement about helpful criticism.

the dash looks pimpin. the rest of the car i wouldnt have done with out haveing all the parts and being the same color.

the pictures.

alot of them are good ideas (creative) but some times you can be "over creative" i would start off doing something simpler with out so much "posing" by the cars play around alot more with the camera's settings. natural light is the best to use. (being outside)

i would just suggest practicing a bit more with the settings like taking several pictures in one spot with a tripod and have a different apreture or shutter speed each time.

and again i'm sorry if came off rude.
