Yuen 16 Report post Posted October 23, 2008 Great work Nick... and as I said, your car looks even better in person. I like the 3rd (cool setting!) and last pic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark 178 Report post Posted October 23, 2008 Car looks really sweet Nick... and some nice shots too... can I suggest you brighten some of them up? Dark and moody shots look cool, but you still need to be able to see the detail of the car. First parking garage shot is my fav... well shot, well lit and great desktop material.

crazyarab 6 Report post Posted October 23, 2008 Good stuff Nick, she is looking good! I would recommend trying to get a bit more lighting though, hard to make out the car in some of those shots. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yuen 16 Report post Posted October 23, 2008 Basically Nick you need to meter for the car and not the sky - if the camera has a manual mode have a play Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greenday-rulz21 6 Report post Posted October 24, 2008 Appreciate the comments guys. I didn't actually take the photos, one of my mates did. First time he's photographed cars i think, which does show lol. I'll see what I can do in photoshop to brighten them up a bit. I've added a couple more, brighter ones Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
