Btw, what does everybody think of windows up vs windows down for photo shoots? I used to think always do windows up but the photo shoot that my photo on the previous page came out of was all done with the windows down and I like them too tongue.gif

The sunroof definitely looks best on tilt for photo shoots though.

Either for windows, sun roof tilted biggrin.gif

Looks good but you should make the battery dark. Eyes are drawn to it vs everything else.

+1 The bright yellow contrasts too much with the rest of the engine bay, and it catches your eye too much... Darken/change the colour of the battery and this would be perfect smile.gif

That is exactly why I do this just for hobby smile.gif . I like contrast and what is for someone disturbing is for me refreshing. Anyway. I took off 67% of that battery saturation and not sure at all. It is big area and always will be...



Only color change can take it completely "non eye catching"...



I do not know... but maybe really "blue edition" is the best when comparing previous options smile.gif . I played with the same idea also on some other picture:



Here (since MALPASO plate on yellow is used) I do not see that battery that "eye catchy" (but I may be mistaken biggrin.gif)

You still have heaps of time to get some good ones tongue.gif

Some tips (IMHO):

Nobody is going to hang your P-Plate on their wall... plan out when you are going to take your pictures and remove those sorts of distractions.

Angle - You don't really have anything to show off under your car... perhaps a slightly higher angle will be more flattering (And more discerning lighting).

Location and Lighting - Although quite simple with the lighting used there are a few elements of the location that have become distracting like the signpost / IGA sign / gutter etc. And the lighting under the car brings up a few imperfections and has blown out a couple of highlights.

Its a cool shot - but calendar pics require a lot more planning tongue.gif

My immediate area is terrible for photography... Might be good down around Cronulla or something, but at night there is hardly any light anywhere since half the street lights are always out kindasad.gif

@cheela Definitely do that top one. You should attract more birds with bread or something. Then just chill on a beer until the sun sets. BEEEAAAAST MODE!

but those birds are sea gulls and I was mostly running away from them and trying to keep my car clean. hahahah.
the beer and chilling sounds good though. biggrin.gif

Hey guys,

So I really wanted to take some pictures to submit for the calendar but the rain has been dreadful! Well, I went out anyways. Here are a few edits with different manipulations. What does everyone think?

I'm still a noob with this camera AND it was going to downpour at any time (as you can see)...so any suggestions are appreciated! tongue.gif

Sorry if I'm uploading too many pictures but I'm really trying to land a month!

I like the second one.
play with it a bit more in your editing program, you have more than enough time before the due date!


also it looks like there was something on the lens or some sensor dust. There is a gray circle on the left in the clouds, just clone that bad boy out
