Starting up my Photography, take a look! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Starting to get more into photography, A lot more. Cars and cameras = expensive hobby.

Anyways, Open for criticism any day. Hope you like some of the pictures even though they might not be of a nissan

Before you say anything on this first photo, almost no editing was done on it. His car was prepped for a show and was retarded clean. And the sun was blocked by the clouds. Everything else has some editing.

Looks good, What camera set up are you using?

EvoVIII808 · 12-25-2011, 01:24 AM

Great Photos man. Keep it up. They all look really good.
Welcome to Photography!

Nikon D80 Camera of choice? If you have the money you should bump up to the D7000 and try to sell your D80. D7000 is equal to the D300s minus a few buttons.

You got talent bro, I've added your first photo as a favourite on Flickr!

ren335 · 12-25-2011, 08:36 AM

Use A nikon D80. All the pictures were taken with an 18-135mm lens besides the last two which were taken with an aspherical 11-18mm lens. And I've been looking at upgrading to a full-frame camera if I get more serious with my photography. Got very lucky and found the D80 in a taxi and been mastering that first.

02 camry le · 01-21-2012, 09:44 AM

Nice spots =)
And the quality too

lucas13dourado · 01-22-2012, 03:05 PM

that's a really really good start, you have a really good eye for composing the pictures, and the editing is on point. Now since you want criticism, here.
on the the first picture toward the middle/front area of the car there is a light pole or whatever, when you take pictures of cars try not to make things "grow" out of it, the first shot is a good example because it looks like the pole is growing from the hood of the car.
The second one is a decent picture, when taking pictures of cars in motion you should slow down your shutter speed to nothing less than 1/125th, the lower the better. When something is moving you want it to have a "moving effect"
this is the best example I have.

the rest of them are good. About your camera, don't upgrade to a full frame yet. Keep taking pictures and keep editing, buy a better lens. Buy a photography book, look at other people's pictures, try to get an idea of how the lines should be in the picture, or what setting is best for what condition. I hope you are using manual, aperture priority or shutter priority.
good luck and have fun!

^what he said.

Shoot in manual, learn your camera, and learn to cut out a lot of background drama. When shooting cars or objects, you need the car to be the focal point. The last two pictures were perfect.

Good work. Keep it up.
