x23987423... it's not that hard to take decent pics with any old digital camera, but these are terrible. "jdm angles" are not where it's at. just show these amongst friends lol. no need to post them.

the biggest problem IMO is the angles you used and the backgrounds. good shots are all in the eye of the shooter, but the backgrounds are really bland, and the shots from the ground are kinda overused. idk. i don't mean to belittle you or anything, but those pics are just not very interesting. it's hard to teach someone to have a good eye, so you'll have to look at pictures and see the elements you like and try and emulate them at first and then start to put your own style on them.

**The Youngn** · 03-08-2009, 05:43 PM

For a lot of the shots, you could try getting the whole car in the picture

**DarKStaR** · 03-08-2009, 06:04 PM

your right....

**VWGirl** · 03-08-2009, 06:18 PM

Some of your shots are okay... some look like you used a disposable camera that doesn't have a decent view finder... chopping off the edges of cars is like chopping off someones head or feet in a photo... there is a right way to do it and there is a wrong way to do it which leaves the photo being awkward. You have to decide what the focal point is. What are you trying to show off in your pic? What is the center of attention?

2nd pic where your car is set over to the left side and a tiny bit of the bumper is cut off= bad... you have a lot of empty space left over on the right side of your pic and leaves it awkward... had the car been placed on the right side and space left in front of the car it would be less awkward as it is leaving a place for the car to go (i don't know if any of this makes since, i was kinda born a photographer so i don't think about it i just do it)
3rd pic= decent job... I don't like the black car in the background, kind of clutters up the shot. I try to find clearer shots, but sometimes its not possible
4th pic is sorta getting there as far as the overall shot i guess... but the car is way up in the top left corer of the frame... you also have to watch out for things like signs in the background that give your car a hat... looks weird
The pics where both bumpers are cut off= very bad framing...

I'm not gonna go through all of the pics... i think you may get some of the idea?

why does your driver door always show up a different color?

good critique. bottom line: composition needs work.

If you're talking about the teal hatch, its because it is a different color. He did a power window conversion and they came off another civic but its a tad lighter.

You have to replace the whole door for that? craziness

it's just easier that way lol. it's hard as ballz to get all the power shit inside a door between the framing.

I think he meant to re: my comment about the doors being a diff color ;-)

First lesson. Terminology. Do not use the term "photoshoot" until you actually need to. Later, QD.

I knew right when I seen Josh put "Photoshoot", QD was going to chime in...lolol

So, howcome I wasn't told about this little ride out today? Please explain. HAHA

**Mr. Clean** · 03-08-2009, 07:05 PM

oh lawd this thread is getting confusing! i'm out.

**J-ROCK** · 03-09-2009, 12:00 AM

thanks for the input people we will use the info next time and the reason the background is the way it is , is because the hose on the hatch sprung a leak so we where sorta stranded there and tried to make the bast of a bad situation! i for one suck at pic taking and the input helped out on understanding what to do next time!

**amandDA** · 03-09-2009, 12:13 AM

wow "jdm angles" ftl my neck hurts... nice try and hatch though

**J-ROCK** · 03-09-2009, 12:15 AM

what would be the best background to use??? for future reference

**Dwisforme05** · 03-09-2009, 12:29 AM

there really isnt a " best background" to use. you want something that will make the car pop. Mr. Clean put it best, the Picture is in the eye of the person taking it. doesnt matter if you have a 300 buck cyber shot, or a 1k SLR. if you dont have an eye for it, your not gonna have a good shot. it easy to teach someone how to focus a camera right, or show them shutter speeds/apertures and such but if they dont have the vision for what they are shooting there is no sense in taking the pic.
