Photos From The Weekend

[Yidz]

Im farely new to the forum, and I finally got some nice pictures of my R32 that i picked up in December. thanks to my mate.

I took a fair few of them, and was just wondering if there would be anyone who could give me some tips on how to take better photos.. whether it be the contrast in the background, angles etc, because I would like to learn a bit on making the car look its best in photos.

I spend that long polishing etc that I like it to look good in photos if its going to represent what it looks like in real life!!!

Anyway.. any little thing would be helpful or even little things you can see on the car that might need improving that wouldnt cost a whole heap!! (Yes, P plates should of gone!)

Thanks.

Nice clean R32 you have there champ! Photos are pretty good!!

Maybe a location with a different colour background would help, something more neutral in colour.

Also that 3rd shot is way outta focus..

What camera you using?!

[Yidz]

It was actually a mates camera. Im looking to get one soon. My old man's is a 5MPG but I can never get the setting right.

Yeah I only just realised it was out of focus. I must of been shaking haha. I'll find another pic to replace it.

Any tips on a camera to get? Don't really want to spend a whole lot though.

I dont know much about photography, but when a friend used a wide angle lens to take some photos of my car, they looked awesome plus we used a wall covered in grafiti as a background, came up well

Cheers Mitch... Still got a long way to go but does the job for the moment

IF your not looking at spending too much cash maybe a middle/top of the range point and shoot would be up your alley.

I recommend Canon, Sony and Panasonic in these feilds.

My 1st digi camera was a sony DSC-F707 which I got in 2001 and even still to this day its in top working order and produces great pics, although it did cost $2200 at the time.

So maybe budget yourself for about $500-$800 and you should pick up something nice like a panasonic FZ20 - FZ30 or the compact FZ25.

Cheers. Once again clean R32 champ.

Thanks for your help with that, I am going to go out this weekend I think and just get a feel for what sort of thing i want / need and plan to start saving.

Thanks again

optical zoom is better than digital zoom

but it depends how far away from your subject you will be.

50m or more get optical zoom

otherwise digital zoom would be ok

if it has an unsual type of battery check the check its "life" (a figure give in hours) and a camera that runs on a normal type of rechargable battery AA might be better if you travel alot,

if you forget the charger you can just keep some spares in the bag.

I love the car, so nice

are they r34 wheels?

[Yidz]

Yeah mate they are. I got the centre caps for them now. Sets them off real well

[Nozila]

bit of an offtopic question, but with those wheels did you need spacers or they just fit straight on?
