Sweet lighting on the bonnet matt

cheers man.

same shot here but with the owner (forum member too) in the shot too. Sidd, give your CC on the persons placement/lighting/blah blah... keen to hear what people think since adding people to the shot is relatively new to me.

Fongy, Looks like we were trying the same sort of thing.

Well its not a model shoot so having him there is perfectly fine. Its his car im assuming so exactly where he is just perfect.

Now take that next step and perhaps even ask him to dress up a bit. Corporate the two into one shot perhaps? But offcourse this all depends if he keen.

Maybe something like this which I did many years ago:

^ not saying that is perfect in anyway.. Just giving you an idea and perhaps something you can market?

Wish I had his hand in another position and fixed up his pants at the bottom. But this was such a long time ago. Cant believe I did those borders!!! What was I thinking lol..

Otherwise lighting is fine on the person

More like I need tips from you for shooting cars. A friend of mine asked me to take pics of his new car soon. So need all the tips possible to balance flash on cars

Something I have not done since the shot above. But looking forward to photographing a car again.

Great new website man. Looks much better as a blog mate - if you ever need a hand with web stuff, give me a buzz and I'll see what I can do.

I just left you a comment on the website as well, "Great photos sidd. Put a smile on the face looking at these!" - The truth needs to be said!

[MaTBoY]

That's a really strong shot Fongy. I LOVE IT! Very well executed.

I've been doing some other random stuff other than cars recently. it's good to refresh and recharge batteries.

Don't shoot into the sun they say...

Run!(if the compression/colours are shite it's because this one is hosted on FB and not flickr. can't upload from work ;/)

[Jay019]

Don't shoot into the sun they say...

nice!

and whoever says not to shoot into the sun has no soul, lol

[siddr20]

Nice work Fongy and Matt

yea shooting into the sun can be great sometimes.

[MaTBoY]

I entered a photography comp at a local show over the weekend, one of my shots got third place and it was one of the weaker shots in my opinion. I asked the dude what they judge on, he went on about the rule of 3rds like it was the most important thing to a photo. I asked him to critique a few shots and he said I should never shoot into the sun. (which it one of my favorite things to do) So i got marked down for shooting into the sun AND maintaining a good exposure through the shot.

this one came third

Haha, well that goes to show photography has no right or wrongs. I am not a fan of rule of 3rds or avoiding the sun. Sun shots are great. I love centered photos. The photos I love, they would of thrown in the bin. That also means one of my favourite shots Sidd has ever done, (Above) gets thrown into the grinder - It uses sun and and is centered.

Were the judges old school?

Hey matt, just saw you ALSO have a new website... nice. This one looks much cooler hehe.

Just a note about your website, some of the background images are quite bright and I am unable to read the menu items. Change the top menu area to have less opacity and should be right. The comments section for users to type in, is white with white writing - really hard to see. The photos in the blog also exceed the width of the background - Do you know how to auto resize these?

Did you make this one yourself (looks like word press?) Otherwise looks good man. Nice work - If you need a hand or anything, you know who to ask
