My Hatchback

[atch]

Still trying to figure out how to use my Dreb., so here's some pics of my car. I started using RAW today but the only RAW shot here is the first one. I've noticed that it's a better quality than the other 2. I should have shot using all RAW! Anyway I just tweaked these pictures saturation and contrast using zoombrowser. Would love to hear some constructive criticism.;) just a side question does the zoombrowser capable of tweaking with RAW files (other than saturation , brightness and contrast?)

I like the color in the first shot better - the others look a bit over saturated for my taste, but they aren't my photos!

Good composition on all of them, although on the 3rd one I probably would crop much of the foreground dirt out and make it somewhat of a panoramic-like shot. I'd probably crop to the first larger rock in the dirt, or at the bottom of the larger rock in the grass.

Nice shots, though! I've never been able to get shots this good on my car (its black), so my compliments having some good representation of a dark-colored car.

1- My favorite of the 3. The reflection is great, and the colors are vibrant

2- The car sits in the backseat to the kids in the background. I like how it gives the car personality by adding people to the photo, but the picture quality is lacking. The highlights are blown out and the darks look underexposed

3- Good eye on parking in the shadows, and also giving the errie lighting in the background. Can't really complain about this one other than the lack of detail in the sky. I can fainlty see the beautiful horizon reflected off the car, but what about in plain sight behind the mountain? Try a double exposure and mask the beautiful sky into the car-exposure priority shot. I know I'm being nit-picky but that's what I'd do ;)

thanks for the comments and suggestions, I know I got carried away with the saturation adjustments. I just discovered how to use them the other day. Yeah I wish I had shot in RAW in all of them but I'm going to start using RAW format from now on to compensate for the underexposures or overexposures and the quality is just a lot better than the jpg I from what I see.

Shot 1 is great. I wish my Civic would stay clean long enough to take some pics!
