Well fellas. This is the first time I've posted pics of my car. My buddy who's into photography took the pics. We really want to master the art of night photography so any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks

My car is an 03 enthusiast. unfortunately stock.

::EDIT:: fixed aspect ratio of pics

 

looks good .. reminds me of my begining stages .. ppw ftw!

 

i really liked the first photo...nice photos overall

 

nice car though I don't see how ppw is FTW?

 

I like the last photo with all the doors open, reminds me of a nissan ad. good work.

 

Thanks. That was taken infront of our new harley davidson store. Those two white round signs above my car are the Buell logos.

 

My Z is PPW as well .. I was just being a little biased ..

 

are u letting some air go though ur car (last pic)
nice pics

 

Nice pics...the scaling seems a little off though

 

for a second there i thought it was a toy car. lol

 

Yes, looks like it's squished vertically, sorta like some old kung fu movies. I thought it was just me.

 

oops yeah good call guys. I forgot to keep the aspect ratio when I was resizing them. I fixed them though. Thanks. My friend has an 8 mega pixel DSLR and those pics were freaking huge.


Not sure what you mean. The car was running and my heater was probably on...it was freezing that night.

 

the pictures look pretty good but there is some noise(grain). I'm no expert so i could be wrong but if i was to guess...it looks like your friend used a really high ISO speed and a semi quick shutter speed to prevent shaking. Did you guys use a tripod?

 

lookn clean

 

Yeah we had a couple of different tripods. My friend is still trying to figure out all the functions of the camera.

 

yeah...i'm still trying to get use to my new camera too. Anyways, good luck to you and your friend.

 

Do you have any suggestions on how to not make it come out all grainy? longer shutter maybe?

 

longer shutter, lower ISO.. lower f-stop.. if he isn't using a tripod for night shooting he should get one.. or he could try some flash photography or better lighting..

Also if it's cold out, I notice that digital cameras just get a little more noisy naturally.. no way around that really.. you can also use some grain removal programs like neat image or noise ninja as a last resort.. If you could preserve the EXIF information in the pics it would help a lot too if you want someone to critique your pics..

Also tell him to clean his sensor or his lens.. The first two pics have what looks like some dirt on it which certainly doesn't help..

None of the pics looks particularly sharp either.. dunno if that's the "kit lens" he's using(which is usually not very good, especialy if it's the canon 18-55mm..again dunno if he's shooting with a canon DSLR) but he may want to look at a different lens or try different f-stop settings to find the sweet spot..

I know that's a lot but good luck LOL

Did it come tinted?

 

Looks good!
