Hey guys...Ive just bought a new camera (CANON EOS 300D) and I have taken a few shots of some cars...I want to sell them eventually, but I would like to know if the quality of my work is any good...I'll post some more soon, but what do you guys think of this one? It was taken at the spit on sunday arvo just gone.

Obviously i have resized the image so it can be viewed....the actual size is 3072X2048 or something...

Nice shot m8, the car angle is perfect but i think there needs to be something more interesting, eye catching than just dirt and little water to the right... a nice widescreen shot would look awesome. something widescale on a really nice day with an awesome sky shot surrounding the car & car closer to the water *seeing you are in a great location*. Sorry if i am too critical but i have to give constructive criticism to my fellow workmate designer each day and he does the same back. On the right track ;) Looking foward to seeing some more shots :D

Congratulations on the new camera, a very capable beast. :cheers: Here's my critique (as a fellow photography enthusiast)...

* Exposure - notice how the sky is mostly blown out and the shadows casted from the body are harsh? There is a lot of haze/glare in the shot, even on the subject. This could have come out spectacularly a few hours later when the sun was going down or gone.

* Composition & Angle - I would have liked to of seen more of the rear of the car. Perhaps even the whole rear by shifting the entire shot along to the left but still leaving a third of the shot with the bay in it.

* Post-production - every shot taken from a digital camera can benefit from a little work in Photoshop (or whatever tool you use). Attached - I've set the black & white points, brought back the highlights a little, saturated & sharpened.

But anyway... hope to see some more of your work soon.

-Greg.

shooting into the sun is not advised...

but hell, i do it anyway :)

I would have said more contrast in the photo...and as geno8r said, it needs something to grab the viewers attention...

I have a 300D too... fun camera :cheers:

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
