No, its an exposure problem. You can't expose both the car (with dim lights) and the fog lights (very bright light) in the same picture. You would need to combine two different exposures, one for the car/background and one for the lights. You could also try it using off camera lighting, but I'm not sure you have all the equipment for that.

ROFL whats up with the noise?

it's the stupid camera dammit! :swear:

[edit]i tried editing the original pic... not sure if it's any better though.

Neat image is your friend...

Took 5 seconds.

Was that a digital camera or a cell phone?! :S.

kodak instamatic on ancient film stock and transfered thru a dirty flatbed scanner ;)

... it was an old damaged 5MP pentax :(

if anyone has a decent affordable used digital camera good for a budding newbie please let me know! :thumbsup:

Oooor it was a PENTAX Optio S5z =)

oooh... you can tell that just from the file name? :eek:

no, every picture has it's information embeded in it

wow. i didn't know that :o

Not unless you go from RAW to JPEG then you have no EXIF LOL

Or at least that's what I see. :P

Holy crap it takes that much?

Yeah, I don't have all that equipment. lol
I'll try combining though, thanks. =D

Background's distracting, couldn't find anything cleaner?

This shot the better of the series in my opinion, but the bright background is leading my eyes there instead o the car.

Unique location but the structure doesn't help enhance the photo in anyway, it actually does the opposite in drawing the attention away from the car itself. Stuff to consider would be a narrower depth of field for better separation or lighting the car just a notch would almost make it pop from the background. Try shooting on a simple background first, then work your way into the complicated things.

Very nice car though, take it out for some more photos elsewhere.

I'm sorry, but people just go over board with these retarded looking spoilers...

The owner really liked the retro gas station so he wanted a shot there. That truck behind it I think has been sitting there for ages. The rest of the series is in the same position just with more of the bg.

that they do. this one *might* be useful as the brackets are spaced far enough out. but usually you need trunk bracing or you'll just crumple in your trunk if you even get any noticable downforce from the wing

thanks Mana... i think i know what u mean, will remember the next time i shoot haha.

f80 28mm f/2.0 shot at f/8 on expired portra 400. Low res scan. So don't yell at me for quality.

Quality is terrible. What is this garbage? :p

hehe, jk that's a very nice shot! :)

thank you. I'm getting them rescanned.
