I know, but that costs money and I am not really into photography that much.

So the last picture was not any better?

Removing the glare of the sun, for me its better. But the clarity/quality of the photo not. same as the previous one. IMO.

Well clarity is a function of the camera and all I have is the iPhone. I am trying to concentrate on composition, angle and location until I get a better camera.

I thought the sun shot was kind of cool, but I guess not so much.

I like the sunshot, but if you can back off the affect of the sun and boost the car a little, it would be a little stronger image IMO.

Thank you for the advice. I don't think I can do anymore with that picture, but I will try in the future.

Think I could get a copy of your original to mess around with?

The one with the sun? I think that is the original more or less, I just cropped it.

A couple of more efforts, feel free to critique.

Cooltoy, one of my favorite lenses to shoot with is the 50mm F/1.8. It's a cheap lens and it'll give you the natural blur effect you're looking for. I used it in this photo here:

Try taking those kinds of shots later in the day. Sun is a little too high. Need to move around to avoid direct light and cause too much flare. If a silhouette is the goal, take the shot at a lower angle. In the photo, the tree on the left of the sun could be used to diffuse direct sunlight.

ct - is that your driveway?

cooltoy · 11-18-2016, 08:42 AM

It's just a road near the house.

That driveway ramp vs Amuse.

cooltoy · 11-18-2016, 10:34 AM

Oh you mean the snow shot.

That's beside my parents house. I would never think of going in their driveway. Huge slope and huge curb. Even stock, I never considered it.

My own drive way, I have about two fingers on the front and one finger under the back of the skirts, going in angled. Just as I calculated.
