Looks great! Magazine material in my opnion
My favorite is the wheel shot from the ground! Love to see more soon

 

thank you sir. I'm processing some more pics will post em up soon

 

Nice shoots dude

 

that color combo works so well, very nice

 

Looks great!

 

Good start! Photography is a great hobby and can really challenge your creative juices.

Since you just started, you may want to pick up a book about the basics, it will help you understand how to create the shots you want. One website I find helpful is http://www.digital-photography-school.com; they have tutorials and other great write-ups, as well as a very helpful forum community.

Just a simple critique would be to compose your shots so your subject stands out. Obviously the bright orange Z helps achieve this, but pretty much any other color car may get lost with the background (I am speaking about pics 2 & 4). Also your location will help achieve your overall picture... pick a place that will bring the cars attitude and aggressiveness out.

Here are some good links to dive into:
1.) http://www.digital-photography-schoo...-for-beginners
2.) http://www.digital-photography-schoo...mposition-tips

A good post production program is Adobe Lightroom, much more control than Photoshop.

Enjoy, and keep posting your work!

 

Loved #3, #2 would have been great if the sun had been in front of it. They all look great though, nice job.

 

Nice pictures, you're off to a good start. Car looks great.

 

pcressey: thanx for the great info. I did look into it. massive amount of info.
I will try and learn new photography skills. expect some more pics soon.

as for the rest huge thanx. and oh by the way I was try to get the best shots
without using Photoshop. the only issue will be the rolling shot can't mange to
perfect them. I will try doing the slow shatter shots to get a bit creative on that.
lol btw all credit goes to the awesome forum members that post there pics so I can
learn from them.

 

so you were the guy chasing down that STi yesterday?? on 95

 

baaahahahahahaha the black one with CF TI hks turbo back daaaamn.
will we managed to be on the same way. it was on I66 and then I495.
I was teasing hem around lol. wow that sti looks awesome btw.

 

my friend sent me a pic and asked if i knew you.

 

will if you guys get a chance there is a meet in Old Dominion Speedway. starts at 5pm.
or check out the kingstowne monday meet. starts at 7pm.
damn I wasn't expecting that ..... lol

 

your car is hot!

 

thank you for the complement. I'm trying to keep it clean but not to leave in my garage
collecting dust. I drive this car almost daily. funny thing is every time I wash the car,
it rains after few mins. washed/polished/wax the thing yesterday and booom here comes the rain.

 

nice pictures is your car solar orange or lemans? i cant tell from the pics you have the hump hood, but the head lights are from a -05

 

... move away from the car when you shoot.

and always turn the wheel away from the lens.

your car looks good imo. i know it's still a work in process.

keep working.

 

I think they are all shot well, but I'm not a fan of the perspective in the first and third shots. It's been mentioned before but the front wheels direction is very important. I also think the background in all (except the wheel shot) is a little too distracting. Rule of thumb, if it doesn't add to what your trying to get across remove it. I really like the lighting on the wheel shot, looks like a reflector was used? Maybe a white wall next to the car, but either way looks good.

In review, find a location and shoot some more conventional perspectives then play with the odd ones and see which look better. I think you'll find a happy medium in there somewhere.

BTW, great use of natrual light, 80% of the battle is won there.

 

it actually use to be an 03 lemans sunset, but the shop couldn't match the paint after painting the car 5 times. so they ended up painting the car lambo orange with a yellow shine and a white base coat.
lgear080: I was trying to move away from the car but I have one of those long travel lens "guess that's what they call it" anyway that's what I had available at that time. thanks for the info.
Zazz93: I never really used any reflectors and white wall the sun was right behind me when I did the shot and ended up with the wheel photo "tire shine did help too".
