Hello everyone,

I need all of you to give me your comments and advise on my photo. Please be gentle to me, this is my first time using DSLR. Those photos are the one I find it so call good ones.

Thanks.








p.s. Like waiting for result.

but #3 looks nice to me

[kietgnoel]

Something seems to be missing from the photos ....


Ahhh.... I know. Where are the babes?

Bro, Nice try. I am still a newbie and cant really critique your photos, but the experts will tell you this.

"When framing a shot, try to remove the distracting elements out. Like the glass barricade in the last two photos or too bright a light etc...."

I try to watch out for such things, but still end up making these sort of mistakes. Attribute it to the learning process. No need to sweat over this. At least for me, photography is a hobby, not a profession.

2 and 3 is ok, for #1, light reflection quite distracting. keep it up...

3 is nice

[NicoYap]

So can anyone tell me how to improve it. What I did wrongly?

You need to find better angles to avoid as much reflection and distracting elements as possible. Some fill flash could also have been used to lift the shadows.

[babykailan]

perhaps a good start is to explore new angles and framing. go for surprise!
all the pics now have the subjects right smack in the centre, which is quite boring.
photos seem to lack the punch. doesnt help if they are underexposed as well.

if you want to depict fast or fashionable cars, you need to take them in a way to show they are fast or fashionable!

Hello biggulp, babykailan and asterixsg

Thanks for your advise. Beside I go there, using my friend's Nikon D100. If I get Nikon D80, which lens and flashlight should I get if I'm taking Cars, sexy model and outdoor?

Buy a polariser... It may help to cut away the unwanted lights (reflections)...
