My first time at Photomode.

[SpartanG]

Feel free to criticize(sp?), as this is my first time trying this. I want to get better at taking photos by people constructively criticizing my work.

I have more, but I'll just show these ones for now. I like to see cars in action more than not, so you'll see a lot of the replay thing when you press select instead of Actual shotoshoots.


Notes: Sorry that the people are so blurry in some of them. I couldnt keep the car how I wanted it and have the people clear. Also, it seems strange that the people are not looking in the direction of the car. Oh well, not everything can be perfect. Aslo, I'm brand ne wto this and I didn't know how to take of the GT4 watermark on the bottom right.

Hey thanks, I'm really liking the site. Thanks for the positive feedback too.

Welcome to GTP, I'm new here myself. Let me begin by saying, you have a creative eye, but there are a few things you want to avoid. Like clipping the car at the edges either you take a chunk out or have the whole car in the frame(only the second pic). You might want to post your entries in a preview size for people to have an easier time scrolling through(400x300). As for the pics, they have allot of potential if you could edit them a bit. other then that its all good.
Once again welcome and enjoy your stay. Looking forward to some great pictures.👍

Thanks. As to your first comment, I'll do that. But the second one, I'm not sure how to do that yet. But I'll work on it.

I've got more picture that I just got too.

These ones are probably a bit dark, they were in shadow as you can see. I'll have to brighten them up.

or you can do 640x480 that works too..

as Observer said don't worry too much about getting the people in, like that 2nd one. something like that should've shown the entire car.

the last picture, IMO im not sure what you're trying to do there but i feel that you cropped the car out a bit too much.. too much attention is drawn to the people, and even that is out of focus, so I'm not understadning what's up with that one.

Though off center is nice, i think your style of taking pictures shows a bad habit of making it a bit too offcenter, unless you were trying to do something out of the box.

The one with the car sliding at a side view, i think you should flip the tilt to 90 degrees, so you can get that panoramic view i think you were looking for and zoom in to the point of the back of the car.

the first one, maybe zoom out a bit so the car doesn't look like you just put it there. it looks like its a dirt background a picture of random people pasted on and the car pasted on.

Edit: You posted before i did, wow, repetition of style.. all close up of a car...

I'm also a new member, and I too can appreciate what I call "sectional" or "partial shots". I like your focal/speedblur combo that capture the feel of speed. Not to sound too critical, but partial shots are difficult to pull off.I spend extra time trying to capture the form or special aspect of the particular vehicle I'm shooting( fenders,lamps,etc).Hope this helps. And although I'm partial to production cars, I like your second batch photos too.I plan to post this weekend if possible.Good work!

It was kinda hard for me to understand what you were saying, the overal wording was a bit confusing... Also, with your edit, are you sying that I have a repitition of style?

And with the part I underlined, it doesn't make any sense becasue the car is trailing plumes of dust, how could it look like it was placed there?
W8 a sec, you mean the other one. nvm then, I'll try to change that.

I also ike to take what you call the "special aspect", and make certain lines on the car stand out. I haven't posted any of my pictures like that but I'll get around to that. I reffer Racing cars becasue they can make for mer interesting(and proffesional) pictures.
