I have yet to find a good forum where I can accually learn from my mistakes and have some good opinions so I decided after reading this forum for a while to post some of my stuff. This was a shoot I did for a custom 3-peice wheel company I am the photographer for. I'm 14 years old, so I have alot to learn. Any comments and critique welcome. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. And last, my first ever attempt with using 2 flashes wirelessly for cars. 6. 7.
on the first two, be careful with the halo effect when using the dodge/burn tool or whatever method you're using the darken the foreground and background. some of the angles aren't helping the photo, ie #3
#3 is gorgeous. Your flashed shots are aren't as good as your daylight shots. You haven't exactly nailed the art of distributing the light of the flash across the body of the car.
Def. agree with the night shots being less impressive than my daylight shots. It was my first time with the strobes as well. It was pitch dark out there too. Thanks for the comment on #3.
I was wondering the same thing. Both are from FL anyway... judging by the license plates of the cars in their shots.
Crank up the contrast some more and tilt all the pictures a little bit more CCW (since theyre all that way already...)
Its not like am "working there". Am not employed, I just take the photos when the rims are on the car and ready to shoot.
lessen the angle of your daylight shots and work on your PP for the nighttime shots (and your lighting of course) and you've got yourself some winning shots.
was sarcasm dont worry hang around here enough and ull pick up on it. dont get upset if were also brutally honest (or sarcastic). just how we are and its to help you get better.
very nice work, especially for only being 14.... (and btw, I don't want to see you in an NWS threads in here, got it ) hopefully they're paying you, and paying you fair market value because IMO the work, while it's not perfect, is worth it.
