[Red Cup]

Seemed like an appropriate location!

Sunrise takes a while this time of year, so moved on and got these too:

The first picture is brilliant.

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

Iv'e changed my Desktop from your previous Autumn picture to the first one in the thread.

I expect a new one next weekend..

 

[Red Cup]

I've just rejigged it a little so you might want to save it again!

Running out of ideas and locations now so might be some time before the next lot...

Nice shots!

Look out for little things like the light sticking out of the roof of the car, and things like that.

 

[Fletcher]

Nice pics. Does this car ever get dirty/ driven like it should?

 

[Tony Hunter]

Poppy petals on the bonnet would have been a lovely touch. Nice pics though.

 

[Lawro]

Your photography is great, love that first shot!

 

[Cueball]

Nice.

 

[Riad]

Nice shots

 

[Feirny]

Nicely composed, but they look a little soft?

I'm usually very careful with this type of thing but it was very early and I didn't notice until I started going through the pics. I've removed it from the first photo and will sort the other too.

It certainly does! I only take pics when it's clean though so you only see this part of the clean-photo-drive cycle.

Could be the site resizing them. Try viewing one directly - http://static.cliomods.com/gallery/2/adrianfrst/200-church-2-1280x720-509faec26f905.jpg Any better?

Love that, what camera do you use?

 

[Laura]

Mate I love your photography, tried taking some similar on holiday but failed lol... can you give any tips? Got my first SLR and struggling with too many options! I tried using aperture priority mode and chucked the f-stop right down but I don't know if that was the right thing to do.

Canon 5D MkIII, with a Sigma 50mm f/1.4 for these.

Looking at your K-Tec thread you've got the basics of composition right with the first image - rule of thirds, wheels turned, no trees / posts etc sticking out of the car. Perhaps take a couple of steps back, or leave more room when cropping. If you look at most "snapshots" the car takes up almost the entire frame, whereas in more appealing photos there's room for it to breathe.

If you're going for blurred backgrounds then Av mode and setting a low (wide) f-stop is the right way to go, but depending on your camera and lens you might not get the same level of blur as you see in other photos - it's dependent on the how wide open the lens will go, and how big the sensor of the camera is.

Even a top spec camera and a keen eye will only get you so far these days - I spent about 20 minutes taking the pics, then hours tweaking them. This is what really makes the difference - bringing out the colours, correcting the exposure, removing bits you don't want in the photo (little bits of litter etc). Always shoot RAW and then play with the settings in your software when you convert.

Fantastic mate as always!
