It's not as shiny as it looks, so far my cut and polish attempts have been average... But photoshop is a wonderful thing for making my car look as perfect as possible!

A duo photoshoot could be fun! If your camera's a good one you should be able to set the ISO sensitivity to high for shooting in low light without flash or a tripod (though if you use a tripod you'll get better results). If your camera's also got a noise reduction function it's worth switching that on. ISO is the image sensitivity. You'd use normal in good light for optimum shots but you need high in low light so the camera stablises the image and captures as much light as possible with the fastest shutter speed so camera shake doesn't make your pics blurry. Noise reduction helps get rid of the grainy effect you might often see in low light pics. You can't do much in post production if the original image quality isn't up to much though.My camera's got an amazing auto ISO system so I rarely have to do much work myself. Most decent new cameras have this and there should be a button for the auto setting somewhere on the camera body (usually near the shutter release). If not, have a hunt through the camera's menu settings and see what you can find. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qube 3570 Report post Posted June 28, 2013 Best way to learn is to use an older dslr and figure out what settings work in what conditions. Then you can start using those new high tech auto settings and still get what you want. My personal tip: when shooting in low light without tripod, boost ISO to like 1000 then change to black and white. It basically removes all the noise and you get some nice shots. Works well for street photography. And this has nothing to do with Julian's car. My bad Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Love itCheers Josh. I enjoy photographing cars and getting better at it all the time. It was a bit bright yesterday arvo though, if I'd had time I would have done it a little later as the sun was going down to get some cool colours and less dazzle!
