A Quick Photo Shoot

christian370z · 10-02-2011, 06:02 PM

I took these pictures of my Z last night since it was such a gorgeous evening. I am planning to order a 50mm prime lens soon but I wanted to see if I could ask you all for your opinion.

What do you think I could improve on with my photography? I always try to keep improving so any help is greatly appreciated!

I would just suggest different backgrounds, if you get a 50mm you will achieve greater d.o.p. so the background wont play too big of a factor. Looks good though!

Also, I would try to avoid shooting into the sun. It makes it a bit more difficult to get it all exposed properly. But it can make for some cool pics, especially if you pla with it in photoshop some.

I would like to recommend to tilt the camera here and there. Definitely not for every shot, and don't over do it (very easy) but it adds an entirely different look and goes great with many car photos. this is a shot of my chicks camaro w/ a little tilt as an example.... most people love it or hate it.

Keep shooting, car looks great in all the photos you took!

nice shots, car is looking good. I love the angle on the last few pics, makes the front look beefy

Spectacular job! You can see the lighting, some better crops and locations would be my only vice, but good job +
