this shot was taken while i was driving at 90km/h.. shootin through the front windshield :P

this is more like a spotted photo ;)

I like the wheels :). Get rid of that sunroof visor thing, guck builds up under there after time. I removed the one my dad had.

I kind of like the sunroof visor :(

the red seems a bit too saturated maybe D? and yeah
the panning outcome wasn't the best. it's hard. succesful rate
is too low on pans.. keep trying tho.

yeah i almost knew the red was over saturated, but for some reason... it may be weird.. but i kinda liked it haha
because of the "pan" it looks like a painting or a sketch haha

if u insist... then i shall :shhh:

ah no, i post on here to get feedback :) dont shhh

Hey guys..

First digital camera (about time eh :p ), first time using new digital cam, first time using aperture/shutter speed, first time playingaround with focus etc etc.. basically a complete newb... LOTS of feedback would be appreciated lol.. I need to learn how to use this camera properly.

Oh.. and yeah I tend to PS a little on the dark side. Bad habbit I'll probably have to break out of but I just like the richness of darker/contrasted photos. Anyways I've seen lots of amazing pics around here so hopefully I can learn a thing or two. ;)

ooo i think i know that car... urs?

No that's my friend's RSX

sYnth,

In your first picture, the light background distracts me from your subject. What might have been better is if you metered for the bricks on the ground and then recomposed it for the car. It would take down the blown out white of the background lighting.

Just food for thought.

The last picture of your first post could probably have benefited with a fill flash of some sort... either take down the flash intensity (if you can adjust it) and use the night mode or if you are using it manually adjust for a longer shutterspeed after the flash.

Good work. Keep practicing!

Hey thanks for the feedback, that's exactly what I'm lookin for! What exactly do you mean by "meter"?

metering means to take an exposure reading.

When you point your camera at an object and push the shutter down halfway you get an exposure value consisting of shutter speed and aperature. That is a meter reading. It changes depending on the light or any manual setting applied to it. If it's on auto then the meter will register what the camera thinks is right. Doesn't always work. Meter off of something neutral, but in the same light and it will help your exposures in difficult lighting situations.

Ahh.. gotcha.. I'll have to try that on my next shoot. Thanks again.

Another quick question... On that same first pic I wanted more of a blur on the background. What else can I do for this effect? I lowered the Aperture but I'm not sure what else I can do to exaggerate the focus on the foreground. I'm using a Canon S80. Thanks in advance.

You could theoretically try standing back and zooming in to the same picture. Although the distance between the building and car might seem closer...

hmm i was thinking if you zoomed out as much as possible and got as close as possible, then focussed on the car, you could probably acheive better results w/ having a shallower DOF

then again what do i know!
