Car pictures compilation *lots of pics*

STi-JDM

Hi guys,

This is my first post here so might as well introduce myself

Name is Will, been into photography for a while, but just got a chance to own decent camera gear early this year (D80 w/ 17-55, I was using 3.3MP Nikon Coolpix before). I still have lots of stuff to learn, so please bear with me.

I am a car guy, so most of my pics are around cars, and luckily my teammates are pretty nice to let me practice taking pics with their cars. Here's some pics compilation from me Please pick which pics you like best and why. Comments and suggestions are always welcome.

P.S. for more pics, please give my gallery a visit http://speedarchitech.smugmug.com/

Cheers,
Will

Ohhhhhhh I found the end 19 images, that's some post.
Firstly let me welcome you to Dgrin

It's perfectly clear that you love photographing cars

Personally I look at cars as an necessary part of every life,
but a total waste of money, most men don't think like that,
but gosh a lot of us women sure do.

I love the Red Car, and the Blue car in the very bottom of all your images.

You've taken some of these shots at great angles.
Cars come in the such awesome colours these days,
that White just looks dull and boaring.

Thanks for sharing your love for cars,
Enjoy the Forum and keep posting ......... Skippy

A very good first post!

The first shot could be a real winner except you missed the light. If you would have pulled the car forward so it was in the light instead of the shade it would have made it much better.

I really like the 3rd and 5th shots. You moving pans are good and the you have the typical magazine angles down.

I look forward to seeing some more shots- now that there is more of us into cars, bikes, and aircraft maybe we can get our own category like the macro gods got.

Not bad! Can I suggest you number each photo, so that it is easier to talk about "number 7", for example?

I really like the first one, but the car itself is a bit dark. The photo seems exposed for the background, not for the car. Either adjust this, or add light to the car with a flash (preferrably off to the side) when you take the picture. Another shot of that car, to my tastes, was taken too low. Get the camera up just a bit.

Number "3 a", as I'll call it, to me has a poor composition. We can't see the entire front of the car and the crop you've given doesn't seem to be "strong". And the boat in the top-left background is a bit distracting. In 3b I like the concept but the slightly tilted boat rail in the background distracts me. Easily solved when taking the photo in the first place. And for 3c, I like the idea, but to me the car should be swooping into the photo, not out of the bottom-right corner like it is -- turn the car around.

Shots 5 c and d are nice.

In the "more" post, shot 1 is really cool, 2 does nothing for me, and 6, well, what can we say about number 6?

Thank you for the comments! the pictures of my car were taken about a week after I got my D80. That would be great if there's a category just for vehicles!

edited the post with numbers next to the pics thanks for all the suggestions and comments! The reason why sometimes there's weird pics of the car is because I like to take pics of a car and make an album for the customer/friend, so it's kinda complete the package *like pics 3a and 2nd pics on "more" post*
