I've posted them in snapshot of the day but i see you've found that already. I found the cloud pattern in the automotive shots much more appealing. But to get a wow from the guy i looked up to in autophotography is big props
[edit] I remember one thing that I needed help on while i was taking those pictures. Does anyone have tips in terms of composition for pictures like those? I was just kinda guessing and testing different angles but i was completely clueless as to what worked and what didn't

hehe that's too much lol
i think the angles are ok in those shots, it kinda varies with
diff type/models of cars. but as a general rule of thumb
a 3/4 shot is wut most photographers use. which gives the
automobile it's stance.
edit: wut i like about the above pics was there were soo much
details in the buildings and all lit up very well.

hey which regions of ubc are decently lit at night and could allow access for a car? I know some of you have done some shoots there but I'm a sfu-er so i have no idea where the good spots are.

Sometimes it doesn't work when you take a straight on shot or just a side shot.
3/4 shots just gives the car it's depth. length and width

somethings that can help your picture jason.
turning the cars so it's more of a profile shot. and give the wheel a little crank to tip in the wheels. also make sure both cars are at the same viewing angle.
white balance is pretty good.
u gotta do something with the huge degredation. i dont know if its a setting on your camera or the fact that the image has been resaved too many times, but the quality is just shite!
resize the damned thing!give it a clean border, and add unsharpen mask.
but i have to say, becuase hte background is soo sharp and bright, it takes away from the focus of the cars as a primary focus. I'm torn between focusing on the buildings in the bg then the cars and back and forth.

I've been trying to teach myself ps... so um.. yah... i have a million and one things to learn.. (well i just used it for the first time yesterday night !!!)

snapshots = booooo
honestly, the way i see it, if you're going to stop and try to get a shot, take a few more minutes before you hit the shutter and think of those things. foreground boke, background mergers, primary and secondary subject points.... |

Man how does that thing sound in person? Such a beautiful car.
