and a brilliant one at that from what I hear & see on here!! Yeah, the rules are the same...only the medium differ! Well thanks for all the help, greatly appreciated!!I'm an artist, but I've dabbled in Photography and the rules of composition etc are the same!

Thanks alot, me thinks i'll be needing it!!Thanks and you're welcome! Good luck!
Did you just take those during the shoot or was it prearranged? I do try to use the rule of 3rds (which hopefully is evident!) but it doesn't always work!Nah don't worry - that's what the thread was for!! With reference to the cars and the locations i've tried to really shoot the cars as the owners want them and where they want them. So the cars have been prepared to the owners preferences and in general shot in a location which has been picked by the owners. But I do see what you mean about the distracting backgrounds - Where would you suggest as good locations to shoot?
I'm only starting out so don't have a huge studio or any lighting equipment yet but it's certainly something I intend to invest in in the future!
Most of my shots are indeed around the 50mm ish focal length so I agree I think I need to try and vary that abit more!! Any sort of advice for doing so? What sort of close up shots go down well with cars? Because i've always thought of mine as somewhat lacking whenever i've tried tbh...:bang:
As far as the camera quality goes I know it's only 6MP but the sensor is seriously high quality - It's not of the standard of something like a D300 but I can't afford to upgrade to that sort of model at the moment (money is going on my car this month
Thanks Everyone for your comments!
lol well you did a great job so no wonder they were pleased!! Was it just organised off the forum? why don't you do anything like that for us?!bascially about 20 cars turned up, and one by one they put em in another part of the carpark and i got to work!
it was bit easier than trying to organise something like that for FF, cos the club is all sheffield based so no one has to travel far or have to think of a location that is easy for everyone to get to :bang:
lol that's true...maybe we should try harder at the events like AI next time lol!
)why has no one mentioned the rule of 3rds yet?
everyone needs to adopt thier personal style, and mine is contrast. if you dont have your own style, there is nothing to make you stand out.
Cheers mate thanks alot!!good job! really like the C2 and the mini pics
Make sure you post your shots up, would love to see how you get on!lol i'll bet!! I really wish i'd've taken either music or photography at Uni 'cos i'd've absolutely loved it!! Trouble is i've always planned to make my living out of computers so that's what I picked to do at Uni.i cant wait to go back to uni, i love working to breifs n stuff.. course starts next monday but i move back sunday for freshers week :slayer: (i know im a 3rd yr but can still take advantage
I think rule of 3rd's can play an important part but i'd agree that if something looks good rules are irrelevant!because rule of thirds isn't *that* important, as long as you can look at something and it looks right.. then thats right - thats how i compose shots anyway, i do know about golden mean / rule of thirds, i do deliberately go against it though.
agree about personal style as well, i've not done much car photography - but my normal style is, well, i dunno - close and wide i guess is the best way of describing it;
(yes it could with a crop!)
Cheers mate thanks alot!!
, need to think of what cars i can take shots of, and locations.. hmmmm
lol the locations are the hard part!!!Will do
Dunno if my camera can wait that long!
