dubman 39 Report post Posted August 5, 2012 cheers, so use a tripod and set slower shutter speeds? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LOWBMW 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2012 cheers, so use a tripod and set slower shutter speeds? umm tripod does help but sometimes it takes that little hang ajustment to get it perfect , it all depends on your skills with the tripod and how steady your hand is when taking a photo. but yeah i would use a slightly lower speed in those photos just to get a little bit more light into them. but not bad at all.

bellicose 9 Report post Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) William, i know nothing 'bout photography mate but have a couple of suggestions. Pic' one would be a winner BUT....................the 2 arrows and keep left sign distract the eye away from ya car. Next thing is if doing night shots don't have head lights on, park lights ok but not head lights. Otherwise sweet pic's.

_Matt_ 42 Report post Posted August 5, 2012 RE above photos. I think the last photo is the best overall it just needed to be manually white ballanced. The depth of field is also too shallow so the rear wheels are soft. here is one I snapped this arvo with my $90 camera. it's someones 1975 e12 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bellicose 9 Report post Posted August 5, 2012 Could pass for a pic' taken in '75 as well Matt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dubman 39 Report post Posted August 5, 2012 cheers for the feedback guys, much appreciated. bellicose: yup, agree with the points u made, i think i tried to include too much detail in the parking lot pics, and the lights took several goes to capture that "halo" above the lights with minimum glare Matt: with pics 2-5, they were taken with a fixed lens (lens that cant zoom, is that what you call them?), is that causing the lack of depth of field? Max: pic 3's my fav also haha, must have similar tastes in e30's then again, cheers for the feedback, good advice for a 1st timer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_Matt_ 42 Report post Posted August 5, 2012 Matt: with pics 2-5, they were taken with a fixed lens (lens that cant zoom, is that what you call them?), is that causing the lack of depth of field? Nope, it's you fstop that effects focus range. Because you shot that at night and probably on auto (if your new to photography) the camera would use the lowest F stop and open right up to let as much light in as possible, but this also limits the focus range. I use the saying. The smaller the number the bigger the hole the smaller the depth of field The bigger the number the smaller the hole the bigger the depth of field. Lenses work the same as our eyes.

deeveus 81 Report post Posted August 5, 2012 IMO there should be some variety in the calendar, not just full of E30's (that hell rot Alpina from CHCH) although there's some damned good pics in this thread. Possibility of X series, 8 series? I'll chuck up pics of my two favorite X5's I've had. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeffbebe 1559 Report post Posted August 5, 2012 Yup keen as long its in the next few weeks and not later. Can do the photography too How about an evening this week or weekend (w/e might be best so I get time to give the car a clean!)? Dusk is good for car shots... I can bring a camera too - between us we should get some good pics. Byron, would be good to have your wagon too? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
