Beautiful Day = Photo Opp :)

Post by Cdude2010 on Thu Apr 01, 2010 11:04 pm

Which such a nice day, I couldn't pass up the opportunity for a photo opp. Comments are welcome

BTW... if anyone has any suggestion on mods I should get next... feel free to comment. both visual (besides wheels. i'm planning on either the saleen 5 spoke or the 2010 gt wheels - both in chrome ) and performance mods Smile

Awesome! I may wash mine up real good on Saturday and take her out for some pics before heading into work.

Tip: Avoid shots like this as...

...it isn't that visualy appealing unless you are trying to show off an aggressive tire tread pattern. It is much more pleasing to the eye to see the wheel facing you.

I cant see them here at work, but I want to plan a day for photo op, the last one turned into a club photo op, and we didn't get many one car shots, but we did get some great club shots.

Well this is Bottums rd Bridge in Hartford co

This ones is in the Poconos

But if you find a random building that has some kind of character, but not so much as to take away from the car that works well

And last is, crop the picture

Something like this

I went to a car dealer and picked up a bunch of brochures, and looked at what they used for back grounds to get my original ideas.

Try to avoid having nearby trees "growing" out of your car...off in the distance is ok, but just on the other side detracts from the subject. There are times however that it can't be avoided or the trees are part of the shot. If so, try to position the car and/or your position to make them less obtrusive. Also, cropping the pic is a fantastic idea! Post editing can make a huge difference as well, by blurring or removing unwanted objects.

Another tip to remember that makes a huge difference...watch out for distracting reflections! Taking the time and studying the shot through the viewfinder can make a difference. As Ed's pic above, the parking lot line in the center of the car can take away from the pic, but by either moving the car out a few more feet to cover it or by editing it out afterwards, you can end up with a pic to be proud of. Trees are another source of distracting reflections that are very difficult to do anything with afterwards. That is one nice thing about digital cameras and computers...almost anything is possible
