well in hopes of getting a badge and a few pointers i thought i would post some pics ive had for awhile. pics taken with canon is3 and tripod.very little experiance with camera still today....

 

one suggestion is the have the wheels pointed towards the camera. for example, in the first picture, have the wheels turned towards the drivers side.

also, if you shoot manual, try bracketing several different exposures. the first shot the background is overexposed and the car is underexposed. if you take 3-4 shots and combine them (or try HDR) it'll keep the background from being too bright and the car being too dark.

0068.jpg is the best of the bunch, imo. lighting is good, back drop is nice. one suggestion is giving more space between the background and the car; another 10-15' would be nice in this shot.

don't be afraid to try different angles or close up shots. take pics of things people don't see every day from low or high angles.

 

hey thanks for the advice, i deff see what you mean about back being overexposed and car under....my desktop is out of commission right now so they are basically point n shoot w/ no editing...

well be going to chicago soon and hopefully by then ill have learned to use the camera a bit better and have photochop to help everything out a bit too

 

Yeah definatly drop the shutter speed in the camera, most of the shots are overexposed by a good amount which is distracting in the photo.

 

ill have to RTFM and keep shooting i guess....maybe learning how to actually use the camera might help a bit...thanks for the advice guys i appreciate it

 

lighting seems bad b/c it's really strong near the rear of the car but there's very little in the front. try day pics, they'll be alot easier and you'll probably have better results. also try zooming all the way into the car while standing as far as away as possible so you can get the whole car in the image. it'll cause the vehicles to have less lens distortion.
