V8skylineMAN Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Hey guys...Ive just bought a new camera (CANON EOS 300D) and I have taken a few shots of some cars...I want to sell them eventually, but I would like to know if the quality of my work is any good...I'll post some more soon, but what do you guys think of this one?

geno8r Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Nice shot m8, the car angle is perfect but i think there needs to be something more interesting, eye catching than just dirt and little water to the right... a nice widescreen shot would look awesome. something widescale on a really nice day with an awesome sky shot surrounding the car & car closer to the water *seeing you are in a great location*. Sorry if i am too critical but i have to give constructive criticism to my fellow workmate designer each day and he does the same back. On the right track Looking foward to seeing some more shots Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/52180-whaddya-reckon/#findComment-1029586 Share on other sites More sharing options...

NS2500 Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Hey guys...Ive just bought a new camera (CANON EOS 300D) and I have taken a few shots of some cars...I want to sell them eventually, but I would like to know if the quality of my work is any good...I'll post some more soon, but what do you guys think of this one? It was taken at the spit on sunday arvo just gone.Obviously i have resized the image so it can be viewed....the actual size is 3072X2048 or something... Congratulations on the new camera, a very capable beast. Here's my critique (as a fellow photography enthusiast)... * Exposure - notice how the sky is mostly blown out and the shadows casted from the body are harsh? There is a lot of haze/glare in the shot, even on the subject. This could have come out spectacularly a few hours later when the sun was going down or gone. * Composition & Angle - I would have liked to of seen more of the rear of the car. Perhaps even the whole rear by shifting the entire shot along to the left but still leaving a third of the shot with the bay in it. * Post-production - every shot taken from a digital camera can benefit from a little work in Photoshop (or whatever tool you use). Attached - I've set the black & white points, brought back the highlights a little, saturated & sharpened. But anyway... hope to see some more of your work soon. -Greg.

FriniK Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 shooting into the sun is not advised... but hell, i do it anyway I would have said more contrast in the photo...and as geno8r said, it needs something to grab the viewers attention... I have a 300D too... fun camera Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/52180-whaddya-reckon/#findComment-1037660 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viscount Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 It's pretty nice. But like some people have said - give it a good old touch up in Photoshop (change the colour levels etc.) Also it's a bit of a risk shooting into the sun!
