Different shots what do you think?????

[gkwood]

No disrespect to anyone but sometimes see the same looking shots thought would try something a little different ( well for me anyways ) what do you think , Please let me knowJ

I dont get what's so different apart from the angle. Looks good though, but it's hardly groundbreaking. :)

HI Matt that’s what I was asking and sort off hoping for some ideas , got any ????

I don't know if I like this one better than your original but I do think the yellow needs to be brought out a little more.

The angles are too steep with too much foreground/background. IMHO you really need a much tighter crop and preferably go for more of a 3/4 shot rather than a head on shot.

I've also tweaked the levels a bit to make them slightly darker.

Dunno, what do you think?

I think they're an improvement. The original looked a bit overexposed. I think without having the luxury of setting up a shot and adding effects or lighting, you have to take what is handed to you. Perhaps the old school neutral density filters to add separation to the background could help — knowing you could always do it in Photoshop later. Just some thoughts. Shooting at different times of day help too, though I realize you can't choose the time cars are running. Let's see you really push the DOF. Agree with the crop too. Good advice, Jurek.

I liked the crops.

Also, a little H&S (Highlight & Shadow) work would be good to gain a more even exposure.

I think a lot of people tilt for tilts sake, as if they ran out, picked up the latest issue of "slanted track magazine" and mimiced the styles.

However, there is a rhyme and reason to it , even an art. The tilt should accentuate the photograph and on first view not distract from the overall compostion, aka the viewer shouldn't say "why is this car going sideways on an upside down track"

My 2 cents.
