Here's some shots my friend took of my car the other day...I think they turned out pretty good...














Hope you all like..

 

Some shots? That is only 1 pic, and its HUGE. Id resize, its hard to appreciate a pic when you can only see parts of it at a time on the screen.

 

+1 shrink it down please.

 

that is huge, talk about 56k warning x5

 

i must say very bad quality for such a high rez photo

 

nice shot of a brick wall. Next time move the car.

 

The pictures are very vivid, but I can't see too much clarity on the car...

 

Look at them again, I reposted them...

 

My buddy actually took the pictures for an photography class that show urban decay, I just let him use my car to kind of offset the pictures. The pictures look real good, but the quality isn't as good now that I've shrunk down the pictures. It's really not as much about the car as it is the composition.

 

alot better.

 

can you post link to the higher resolution ones?

id like to use a few as wallpapers... 1280x1024 atleast. thanks!

 

you want me to just post the link to this...I'll have to do it at home, can't do it at work anymore. I get surf blocker when I go to imageshack. ghoulish.

 

I like the 8th photo but thats about it, you need to work on composition a little more, in almost every shot the car is obscured or cut off, I know you're going for an artistic effect, but the execution needs a lil work, you're close tho man, keep pushing.

 

composition is way off, at a glance the car isn't the feauture item accented by the surroundings. The wall and other items dominate and the car acts as a distracting after thought. I took a lot of these when I first started...trying to add a little style when I didn't know the compostion "guidlines" and what not.

Locations work, but I'd suggest shooting in some softer light.....early morning or late evening and keep the sun at your back....or your friend's back rather.


regardless of the photog skills, you car looks good. Congrats.

 

I think the pics look good but whats up with shooting parts of the car. Maybe take pics of the whole car next time.

 

To give you some CC, I like the location. Urban settings always work well. What I don't like is the placement of the car and composition. The car positioning is really weird. It does't work for the car, nor the location. The pics would look better without the car, or if the car was positioned better.

 

well I don't know what you guys are talking about...I didn't take the pictures, my friend did for his photography class...it's not about the car and he's not a professional. I think the pics look good. I didn't know everyone on this forum was Herb Ritz. Some of the pictures could probably use work, but I think some turned out sweet. Remember, this is a college kid doing a photography project...he's learning. I hope he doesn't see what you guys are saying, it'll probably hurt his feelings. I feel bad for him now. Ha!

 

+1 ... to the OP: nice pics, but you would benefit from taking some photography classes. (also constructive criticism)

 

We're tying to give some CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. The advice will help him out in the long run. What's the point of posting the fact he is learning and in a class without expecting some of us to give some tips? I also noticed the photographer's shadow or your shadow in a few pics, chop those out or try not to include them in the shots.

 

I don't know, I just thought the pics looked really cool and I didn't expect everyone to bash them...oh well. I know it's constructive criticism, I think some people think they're freakin' professional photographers in here. I've seen some good stuff, but I don't really critique anyones work.
