S4 woo thats an automatic WIN

I <3 mine

exposure looks good... the angle is a little iffy for me and the photo looks your standard snapshot

Looks underexposed to me. You cant really tell where the tire starts and ends in the fender gap. And the angle isn't very flattering.

It was getting kinda dark and I did not wan to use the flash...
So I did my best...
To me it looks eerie and dark, like a halloweenish photo... lol

Amber, I do like the perspective (taken low from the ground), in addition to the fall setting (especially the leaves on the ground).

I also agree that the overall image appears somewhat underexposed, which can easily be corrected in PP. I don't know if the street runs downhill from left to right, but it has the appearance of being tilted. Perhaps, this is the look that you were going for, though I would be curious to see how it looks straightened.

I like the mood of the sky and it is a cute car.

I'm always a fan of the low perspective, and of course Audis as well, but I think the angle could have been better. side views don't really do the car justice. get a little more of the HID projectors and the S4 front bumper in the shot, and you'd be golden. Also try to meter off the trees and leaves and see how that turns out. any plans of buying some sport suspension?

Very nice photo and I agree, that is a cute car.

Needs to be cleaned though!

i don't know if "cute" is a good word for this car. hehe

A_ADAMS · 18th of October 2008 (Sat)

I would say sexy is the right word!!!
Nick you know better! lol

Thanks guys... no front pics cuz the hood is very dirty! haha

and no on the suspension for now... upgraded turbos first!!

glad you have your priorities straight, amber. Stage III, perhaps?

A_ADAMS · 19th of October 2008 (Sun)

Perhaps... when I have money! lol

usingthejohn · 19th of October 2008 (Sun)

First thing i noticed is the large tree growing out of the car. It is also underexposed, as been previously discussed.

A_ADAMS · 19th of October 2008 (Sun)

Well it was a tree or a big ugly hill... Lol i liked the tree haha
Thanks! lol

shb · 19th of October 2008 (Sun)

i think you need to work on the angle. The current angle of the car is too ordinary

A_ADAMS · 19th of October 2008 (Sun)

How about this?
