Hi lads,

(Sincerely sorry if this is the wrong spot for this...)

I'm looking for some guidance and tips for taking photos of a White car with black/CF accents (Wheels, lip, diffuser etc etc). Ie - Good backdrops for white cars, settings to use and general editing afterwards (programs, filters? etc).

I did the standard google research but it seems so varied based on peoples taste and general opinion, so thought I might have a little more luck here in a car specific community.

Camera i'll be using is a Sony DSC-RX100, from all the research I did it seemed pretty well suited to my purpose and one of the best options.

I basically know next to nothing about photography so please treat me as such, I may not know what your abbreviations mean and so forth.

Again i'm really sorry if this is the wrong place, I did my best to look for an appropriate forum for my query and this is the best I could find.

Thanks chaps,

Chris.

P.s : Photo of the car below, so you can see what i'm working with! ^_^

hi mate,

im beginning photography also, i recently bought a new slr. one of my cameras scenes is one point colour, basically i line up the shot then select the colour i want to stand out with the remaining colours going grayscale. maybe your sony has this option? if not im sure it wouldnt be too hard to edit this after to one point colour

also try not to have vertical things coming from your car in the background. maybe a good background would be the pinks/oranges of a sunset perhaps, might reflect on your paint and be real nice.

try joining australian photgraphy forum, heaps of people with know how on there, they also have an automotive photography section.

good luck

mick

    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
    • Wow! how times change 2017 $15k seems expensive... now $30-$50k is the price.
