Quick Pic - Saxperience

-Jason- · 2nd March 2009, 14:57

Right well went up to the lake district on sat and picked Aimees new car up.

Any suggestions on how to make pics like this better or you think its ok?

Viper · 2nd March 2009, 16:54

erm. from a noobs point of view...

the sky looks over exposed. so either editing it after the photo or use of filters could help out

nice pic though!

-Jason- · 2nd March 2009, 16:56

Anyone fancy a go at editing it as Aimee wants it as her wallpaper

Also the clouds were very low lol

ill contrast map it in the morning if you want, when im on my PC

Tontsy · 3rd March 2009, 01:32

shoot in RAW if your on an SLR
and change the White balance so you dont look flat in the image. and the sky isnt so much over exposed, its down to metering and evals shite.

first step, camera... makes major difference... what u shooting on?

-Jason- · 3rd March 2009, 07:49

I am shooting on a Fujifilm finepix s5800

Cant afford an slr yet

I would suggest the position of the photograph, composition of it all. can't put my finger on it but something doesn't suit.

lower down possibly, needs more contrast too

Tontsy · 3rd March 2009, 13:27

it comes down to what you think about the photo and what you think needs changing ?
there is nothing wrong with the composition of the image, if anything in that section id say the angle of shot, possible lower down.

know it or not, your working on the rule of thirds, you have lead in and lead out lines, and you have a for mid and back ground...

cant afford an slr, no worries

i have been in another one of your threads and said thats its a good camera to get to know basics and handling of.
just depends how serious you want to take the photography side of things, or do you jsut want to have pics of your car.

when it comes to taking photos of mine, i dont give a shit what they look like aslong as ive got a few photos of my latest mod or of a good lcation.
but when im on commision *btw im a wildlife / landscape photographer and working freelance / commision on cars * i start to get picky as fuck!

compared to
200sx 303bhp at the wheel

Evo IX

this shit sells. simples....

its a bastard to get work in photography, i got into car photography by going to cruises, taking photos of the cars, putting it on a flickr or photoucket and putting a card on their car sayings its been snapped.

only downside is you have to give up for half the year because the cruising scene becomes shite!

what aspect of photography do you like?

-Jason- · 3rd March 2009, 16:38

I love nature/animal photography and also very interested in getting in to motorsport photography to.

But basically I just enjoy it regardless of the subject

Tontsy · 3rd March 2009, 22:36

wildlife

and motorsport go together so well

for both you need good 2-400 mm lenses and wide apertures too!

the finepix, got the 300mm lens on as i remeber ? used to work in Jessops for 2 years, so got alot of experience with differnt cameras if anyone is thinking about what shizz to buy

but yeah the finepix should do you well, for starting again... you got photoshop?

Penn · 3rd March 2009, 22:53

You sell those pictures? Christ, time to start going to random meets i think.

what are you talking about? them photos are shit.

your using a clip on fish eye and holding the camera at an angle.

evo pic is well over expossed and has miles of nothingness above the car.

iso is way too high these are noisy as fuck

no offence or anything but i doubt anyones buying these

Mike-VTR · 3rd March 2009, 23:01

ha cant wait till ryan sees this thread, hes gunna have a field day looolZ

Tontsy · 3rd March 2009, 23:04

clip on fish eye lens? haha
try using a 10-20mm lens on a full frame sensor you dippy fuck. not everyone works to a digi crop sensor.

and noisy when being shot on iso 100, yeah going to get alot of noise mate.
its simple shit that works... try it and make yourself a few bob.

it costs me about 38 p to print one of them at 10x15" and it goes for 10 quid.
