Bmw 135i

Hi chaps a mate from work came over yesterday and i fitted his performance bmw bumper, once giving it a quick wash i took some pics of the thing,

what you think

could have been good. The reflections dont help the car at all. Black is really hard to shoot.

I do really like the car though

I'm no expert on car photography, but I think a polarizing filter would help in taming some of those reflections, esp in the last two shots. Otherwise, repositioning the car/camera to avoid them. You need some highlights/reflections to define a black car but these are overly bright/busy.

But you've got some good shots and it's a nice effort. Did your friend like 'em?

i used a polorizing filter on the 50mm and the kit lens

i then edited them in a hdr program

and yes he did like them a lot

black/dark cars are had to do
the large bright spaces in the first two distract the eye from the subject

the eye usually goes to the brightest part of the picture first

You ignored my previous advice which is OK; others have addressed that. But none of these seem all that sharp. Maybe you ignored PhotoBucket's advice too? From their support:

thanks for that i will have a look on photobucket,

other than that photosguy what do you think ?

What they said for a start...
