Trying out new photography techniques (hyundai genesis r-spec pics)

[Jonathan12uiz]

I've been experimenting with my photography techniques. I'm self taught, so I'm no pro at this, but I've been trying new things and would like to see some feedback...

Here are 3 of 10 pics I shot and edited for a buddy of mine. It's his Hyundai Genesis Rspec.

too much contrast, angles are bad, and the reflections are horrible...if you use an slr get a cpl asap especially if you want to shoot black cars

I use a gh13 hdslr. U talking about a circlular polarizer filter when u say cpl? I'm still playing with adjustments to find exactly what I want. I like these 3 pics but they look to cartoony or hdr like with the saturation and adjustments. I'm working on my look still. I'll try a few didgets less on the saturation and contrast next time.

Yeah a circular polarizer will help a lot. And yeah I wouldn't touch saturation too much...how much contrast you apply will be variable.

Yeah I just took some night pics and I'm going to be editing them in a few. So I'll post up when I finish in a few hours

get a tripod and take multiple shots then use them to make one shot. Dont process them all together like an HDR but take multiple shots. one shot to expose the sky, one shot to expose the vehicle, ect... if you have a CPL take many shots with it, spinning it to get the reflections off the winshield, different pannels ect...

good start. also a good background will help. no neighborhood shots lol

the car is beautiful.
the shots are pretty decent.
too much contrast or highlights utilized. but you can change that in PP.
with the exception of the PP style used in #2 and the angle of the picture and the direction of the wheel #2 would have been perfect. i saw what you were going for but the angle and wheel direction kilt it.

it may just be me, but other than what has already been said, there seems to be a blue tint to all the shots...

Love the car ( I dream of owning one), shots are waaay better than anything I could do, #2 is my fav :camera:, but I would've turned the tire back straight or facing us or something

[BlckRspecGuy]
