At least give constructive feedback instead of hating... 👎
here's my best attempt at constructive feedback:
without an interesting subject no photo is going to be nice to look at. the one strength you guys have going is that your subject(s) is/are somewhat interesting.
example #1
.
who doesn't think this is cool? i envy the drift skill, but the photo - ugh.
example #2
again, cool skill, ugh photo.
i think someone mentioned, take some time to read through the
Make the Most of the GT5 Camera thread. it's long and can be overwhelming, so just work on 1 of the 12 topics at a time. i'd recommend starting with 10.0 composition. that's low hanging fruit for you guys.
ok so now for the constructive part:
1) learn about the Rule of Thirds (see section 10 in the thread above) and apply it to these photos. photos with the subject exactly in the middle (example #2 above) or almost in the middle (example #1) are automatically boring.
2) for now, don't shoot any cars that aren't in direct sunlight (see example #2 above). you'll end up with shots like this where some of the photo is over-exposed (washed out white in center of pic) and under-exposed (washed out black on right portion of image). shooting images with constant sunlight will make your pics so much better and balanced without any effort. once you get a hang of things, then you can start playing around with shadows and low-lighting shots.
finally, here's my favorite shot on the page:
. the subject is interesting, color and lighting are balanced pretty well. the use of the shutter speed shows movement which is great - and important for shooting things that move. if you moved the camera down so you were showing a lot less pavement and a lot more sky, as well as using panning mode 3, you'd have a real winner here.
HTH. and Keep posting!
