You bastards need to stay away from my Condo when you're going out to shoot! This is like the 8th shoot I've seen where the background is buildings I can see from my window.

Anyways, good job keeping the car from being blown out. Hard to do with a white car during the day.

I think the Lens Correction Filter could have helped number 3 out. Looks like the buildings are leaning.

sorry fro whoring out your hood. lol

but thanks, i wish the car wasnt as blown out in certain areas but what can i do.

as for #3, it was shot at 46mm on my d60 with kit lens. the lens seems to have a good bit of distortion at 18mm but closer to the far end theres not much. im pretty sure i just didnt have the camera level. i was trying to get the shot between cars driving by

1. Composition is good, exposure is good, tonal range is a bit odd. I think the whole image could benefit from a few curves adjustments. White car with black wheels is nearly impossible to shoot mid-day without any lights, not a bad job though.

2. Good side profile composition, again the tones are cranked, exposure is good for the car, a bit much for the sky. This location would really benefit from a reshoot at sunset to get the needed contrast it begs for.

3. Better, same as above though.

4. Standard wheel shot.

thanks a lot man. could you explain what you mean by tones a little, or point me in the right direction.

also id like to do more night/sunset sets but i havent had much experience with strobes. right now ive just got 1 sb600 and a vivitar 283. i need to pick up some stands and learn how to use these things.

Well, typically when we say that Tonal Range is jacked, we're using a more technical term for "HDR". The tonal range of that image is making it look HDR'ish. Tonal range is basically the amount of tones the image is using the produce what you see on the screen.
