Default C&C - Ford Focus

Been playing around with Photoshop and shooting my ST-2 Focus. First time shooting anything automotive, but looking to do alot more. I know I need to work on this a fair bit more to get the exposure balanced more in favour of the car, but it's a start (especially considering this was on a 15 year old tabletop tripod).

C&C welcome...

It's your car so you can put it anywhere you want, so I'm wondering what was it about the wires above that you especially liked?

The shot doesn't do a whole lot for me...the location is pretty distracting and the car just sort of blends into the background. The car is just way underexposed.

Needs lighting on the near side, and you forgot to put your fog-lamps on as well.

You also need to join stownersclub.com as well, we're always loving good photos of STs!

Thanks Pete. Will join up on there later, and post some pics at the weekend when my tripod arrives!

I like it but you could have pulled the car up a bit further and blocked out that streetlamp that is sticking out of the hood.
just a suggestion.

Yep, I agree with you there Greg. Unfortunately it's far from tropical here at the moment and I was having to lay on the floor to get this shot as it was! I'll have another crack at it this week properly when I have a real tripod.
