Newbie project: Shoot of my car

[hobbes187]

Hi guys, I'm trying to pick up photography recently and this is my first photoshoot of my Getz. Inspired by arttl's shoot of his Mazda 3...

All taken with my 1 week old Panasonic FZ50 mostly at F3.6 ISO 400 and macros are done with an additional Canon 250D close up lens.

Still a newbie to photography so do let me have any comments!

This set is a collection of some abstract shots of my car and all done in black and white for effect...

the bnw tones look kind of flat thou. maybe you would like to play around with the channels of colours ???

i like the way you crop the pictures. but maybe you can try putting together in a layout form ?? sure its better den pieces of pictures ?

great job there... :thumbsup: do practice more on photoshop. :thumbsup:

I felt the same way about the flat bnw... What can I do to get a better effect?

Anyway these were taken with the black and white setting in my camera... Would it be better to take them in colour then convert them in PS?

I particularly like this one.... well composed, sharp enough till can see the parts numbers of the tail lamp cover :thumbsup:

I bet you changed your tail lamp also right?

Hi pal,

How did you take this picture? And where did you park your car? The ray of light makes the car look very classy.

Hi, the shoot was done at a multi storey carpark in Bishan... The ray of light was actually photoshopped in to highlight the car...
