feed my back? c:
Nice photo Sir Tuddle! I liked the texture to the road and the sense of motion/speed. I also really liked the yaw of the Vette on the turn, which gives the picture some definite character. The yellow color of the car is beautiful and really compliments the gray sky. I also liked that you used a slightly faster shutter speed, thereby keeping the sense of speed while allowing the wheels to display a little more definition than blur. Was that a 1/250?
That said, you have some problems with color banding/posterization in the sky in conjunction with overexposure. I also think the photo could have benefited from placing the car farther into the lower left corner with a counter-clockwise camera tilt. Using the 16:9 size you would have captured more of the tail end of the road and given the shot a more interesting perspective, especially when combined with a wider aperture (1.0, 1.4, 2.0, etc.), for example. Moreover, the front of the Vette would still retain the great reflections you were able to capture.
Nice job Shadow Peter - I liked that you used two cars in the shot. The reflections in the red Vette are nice, and the colors really pop - nice and milky. The paint still looks wet like it's off the showroom floor. This shot has a lot of potential with some minor composition, aperture and lighting adjustments.
First, you probably picked the wrong side to take the picture. The light source is on the other side as evidenced by the shadows cast off the car nearer the camera. As such, your better lighting would have been on the other side of the cars. You would have an easier time adjusting the exposure down rather than up on this unedited shot as a result. Moreover, in order to get the nice tones on this side of the red Vette, you had to increase the exposure, thus bleaching out the sky and rendering the yellow Vette a little too bright. The lighting in this case decreased the realism of the shot.
Also, I probably would have adhered a little more closely to the rule of thirds in this profile shot. It may have made the photo a tad bit more interesting. Additionally, you may have had a better result by changing to a wider aperture, such as 1.0 or 1.4, for example, and focusing in on the closest car. The result would have slightly blurred out the yellow Vette, giving it a greater sense of motion. It would also have blurred out the background more, isolating the subject vehicles and increasing the sense of action.
