Shot this weekend, a friend of mine wanted to get some decent pics of his car. Car came straight from the painshop.

It's an Suzuki Swift with Veilside style bodykit and Fiat Punto! headlight conversion.

Imo the photos are good, but the subject leaves a lot to be desired.

Although in saying that I kinda like the headlight conversion, but I think it would be 1000% better if the edge of the bonnet followed the shape of the lights instead of being "shaped"

Agree with the above. That little car "thing" is horrible...but from a photographic point of view they are nice pics. Interested in the rolling shot. How you did this? Used a rig?

You have some nice shots here. If you could have moved #1 farther from the background to throw it more out of focus, that would have worked better. Just not having it in the image would be better for me.

For me nr 7 is the best shot in this series ... in just about all the other shots the background really isn't doing you any favors.

You can easily replace the background on these shots because the bodywork color is so different from the background ... feel free to take a look at my tutorials if you need help.

@PhotosGuy thanks for the feedback i'll pay more attention at my background.
i'll check your topics!

@lambocars i don't want to go overboard with photoshop i've found a few more decent locations so i'll give it a try next time.
In the meanwhile i'll shoot the locations without the cars so that i have a few backgrounds ready and then i'll use your tuts, thanks for the link!

As said above, photographically pretty nice, subject matter is, uh, questionable.

To crit the last tracking shot photographically, shooting it from a corner angle with a wide angle makes it look like it's understeering towards the camera and not so much turning but about to crash. Try going a bit to either the bonnet or the guards next time. And from a logical point of view - it's a Suzuki...
