I agree with the above.

The problem with some of them is that you're not shooting with the light, but rather against it. So you're taking pictures of the side that is in the shadow. Try shooting in the other direction next time

In the 1st shot it looks like your focus is on the sign behind the car rather than the car itself.

2nd shot, I would photoshop out the reflection of the white car :)

Other than that, good shots! I like 'em.

C&C welcome.

One thing I can see right away, is over-sharpening and blown out whites. Also, it would be good the clone out the one hotspot that is created by the light right beside the BMW badge.

I find the crop to be too tight..but that might just be me.

davidhtam 12-11-2008 06:37 AM

agreed on the crop and the blown out whites.

A wider shot would highlight the "spotlight" effect of the lights and really add to the photo. I really like the lighting effects at this location. Care to share?

^ Too dark, can't really make out the car. Angle is different, but what's with the huge dark smear across the top right?

Rikaro 01-20-2009 12:15 PM

this is the original photo. I like it dark on the black and white though. What screen are you using? What is it calibrated with?

I'm using a 24" dell from work which is calibrated by a professional.. lol

Matsuda 01-20-2009 04:55 PM

I have a dell 24" too, I see the smear too heh

Rikaro 01-20-2009 06:13 PM

no no, the smear is supposed to be there. It's one of the plugin black and white filters (shrugs). I'm using a Macbook Pro gen 2 screen to do my editing and same Dell 24" monitor on the side.

To black, even with a calibrated MBP. I think you need to calibrate your monitor, and lighten the picture.

Thats one of my dream cares, i told myself if id win the lottery Im going to buy it lol.

niforpix 01-20-2009 07:04 PM

^^ the draw is tomorrow night. Wanna buy me one too? :D

peazs 01-20-2009 10:48 PM

do i see a rig shadow going across? caught my attention lol

Rikaro 01-20-2009 10:55 PM

that's not even the rig's shadows lol

but anyway I guess I posted the dark B&W photo at the wrong place. It was more meant to be a art illustration style than a photograph. I would have kept all shadow and highlight detail if it's more of a photograph.

Rikaro 01-20-2009 11:10 PM

better?

Much better :)

crazyturtle 01-21-2009 01:29 PM

wow, i like how the background is all blurry but not the car.

Nintensity 01-21-2009 01:41 PM

how do you acheive that blurry background effect? photoshop processing?

In number 3 I would photoshop that lamp post out (or crop it out). Very distracting.

davidhtam 02-01-2009 11:51 AM

very nice. The 12-24 is a wicked lens.
