Nice car, man. I like the spot you chose for the pictures, too. What settings were you using?

Thanks for the feedback.
I took the shots on manual setting with long shutter and vivid color. The location where i took the pics it's a grocery store (Loblaws) next to my place. It use to be a train factory which looks really cool.

Three of the photos don't show, but the first one does, and I like it! The low angle at the front corner really works. I think this is one of the "classic" car angles, and really sets off the aggressive stance of the car (lowered, or just big phat wheels?)

The background also adds a lot to the image. Sort of techno yet retro. The background in car photos presents one of the greatest challenges. I have struggled to find a good background for my bicycle, since it has to be simple and plain to avoid messing with the fine features of the bike, yet visually interesting.

Cheers,

I'll second Gandini's comments on the first image - good angle and background.

You might consider cloning out the reflection on the side of the car.

i will also triple agree with the above statements

the first one rocks

the second one is decent

and the last one is really good. Maybe just a hint of more sharpness and contrast.


i like a lot.

I really like the first one. Very nice angle.

My eye was immediately drawn to the street light above the car. I would crop or trying cloning that out.

The first phot -- as someone else so nicley said -- rocks !

So you have learned a great secret -- and I have yet to shoot my 1st car.

I love the silver -- but not the yellow. You might try options with white balance -- just options when you have the time.
