Nice & solid start to your gallery. 👍 Loved the last shot.

OtakuTaikun · Jun 17, 2012

glad you think so, it was between that one or the second to last.

nissanfanatic · Jun 17, 2012

Off to a good start! I think the exposure was a little high, but you make up for it with some fresh angles. I'll be back.

thanks! i upped the exposure for the Bokkeh backfire shot, but the others i kept at 0.0. i'm always paranoid about my pics being too dark or too light that i usually never mess with em, although i could dig around for some very dark photos i took with my friend that looked pretty good

nissanfanatic · Jun 17, 2012

At fuji it is very bright, well alot of places are very bright. I find about -1 to -1.5 is good. Or when the sky is blue with no major white flares. Just have a play really

Plenty of variables so its just down to practice.

I personally like playing with exposure, same sky in every picture gets boring in my opinion.

By the way, drop by my gallery if you can Otaku.

Diogo · Jun 17, 2012

I see you started with a vette like me ... :sly:

Great set , my favourite has to be the backfire one :drool:

.

____

I always use the exposure on 0.0 and do the editing, it always looks better . (FYI) 👍

OtakuTaikun · Jun 17, 2012

@Mav, i gotta go to work, but i'll be sure to drop by when i get a chance!

@Diogo, lol i started my gallery with the vette, but by no means is this my first venture into photomode.

yea i liked the backfire one too

'scuse me by OtakuTaikunGT5, on Flickr

Sorry for the huge dump :scared:

maveric25 · Jun 20, 2012

Pretty good but watch out when cutting your car out of the pic, can look weird sometimes.

OtakuTaikun · Jun 20, 2012

Lol none of these are edited so the cars havent been cut. Unless youre talking about something more technical and in that case i sound like an ass

maveric25 · Jun 20, 2012

I mean, for example, in your 3rd GT-R shot you cut the headlight out of the picture when you took it & it takes off from the picture quality. Just some constructive criticism I'm trying to give. 👍

Great shots in here! 👍 Love that 86 GT shot with the rear wheel dropped off the rumblestrip onto the grass - with a little editing that could be epic.

OtakuTaikun · Jul 25, 2012

Too many shots :ill:

, I can't comment on all of them, right?

I like most of the shots you take

👍, but try to include the whole car into the picture, even though it's not the main focus, as it sometimes (not always, though ) doesn't satisfy the viewer enough

, and he may want to view the whole car.
This could sometimes be achieved with a little bit of zoom-out (#2, 15, 16 & 19 is the case), and if you do that, the viewer will be more satisfied and pleased (like me :lol:

)

Still, this is only my own viewpoint

, and it doesn't necessarily mean anything :lol:

OtakuTaikun · Aug 22, 2012

(hopefully multiquote works) I'm trying to work on it

i understand what you mean, it's been a negative on a few of my photos.

Here's some more spam-ness of my more recent goes including a 280 MPH Prius, Summer-Samba, and my sexy SLS

Ahh. I chanceth upon a rare sight. Good photos I find in this hereth gallery. Wadduuuppp Maki.

Your photos are good. Some of them have an exceptionally good composition, like the green drifting RUF and Stanced IV. I especially like the glowing disc brakes on the SLS.
Continue shooting! 👍

Have you given editing your photos a shot? They could turn out tons better.

OtakuTaikun · Oct 10, 2012

lol zikaiiiii thanks a bunch! I haven't tried to edit yet, but i don't have any software ATM other than the Flickr editor.

I'm using the VI as my PS3 desktop. Here's a couple from my PMC revision

Thanks i think that picture focuses more on the car than the one i chose for PMC98. Kinda skipped on it because of the shoddy polyphony digital background development lol.
