ckrieg: It looks like you added a bit of your own motionblur in PS
The front looks a bit out of focus while mid way through it looks solid. Next time give the car more room so you can show it going somewhere instead of trapping it in a 1x1 box *border*

aznboi128: Cars are sexy, you have to be basic and to the point. Curves, headlamps, rims, rear headlights, background distractions are a no no, 1/4 or 3/4 shots are always perfect for any side.

yea, I did add some motion blur.

But you think I took those too close? I thought it was good that way, this way you see more of the car. But you think a crop not so close to the car would be better?

Here are a couple more without any added blur:

Another other feedback would be great!

With a tight crop you kind of restrict the car of movement even though your taking a panning shot.

Examples Andrew has some really good ones:



^^ Would of been nicer without the car in the background

See this one is constrained and I just can't feel the car in motion. My brain is telling me the car wants to go somewhere, but it's not!

Now that the statute of limitations has run out









I keep meaning to run them through photoshop to clean them up, but I'm too lazy.

Mana, of the three you posted of andrew's shots, I think the 1st and 3rd are best. The second one doesn't do much for me.

None of those 3 of Andrew's shots really strike me as amazing. All 3 suffer from exposure issues, the TT shot is my favourite but that overexposed rear bumper that loses all detail kinda ruins it for me. I like the GTI shot but the shadow ruins it for me.

However his panning "technique" ie the sharpness of that GTI is really good!

^^ SEE now that is a much better shot!!
Just that little space infront of the car gave it motion! GOod stuff!! I like the angle too

Edit BTW: Has your friend thought about getting spacers in the back? The front wheels are flushed, it would actually look better if the rears were too

Great shot, the angle is just something that we really dont see often so it's super interesting to look at.

Nice shot there. What car were you shooting out of and were you actually looking through the view finder when shooting that? If not was it a car mount?

Selftimer would take too long and not yield enough keepers imo.
