Does this pic look good?

Or does it look like a photo of a car for a Japanese auction?



I cant decide

Was out for an hour tonight, with a mate, took loads of photos and only a few came out good need a better camera, and more practise!

I like this one though:

It looks like a good picture to me.............of a vehicle going to a Japanese auction!
Your 32 looks sweet but the photoshoot location was questionable.

I like the second one, the first could be better if you shot it from further away to blur the BG a bit. This is what I would have done, cropped the lights on the ceiling and the stairs on the right. Turned into B&W with blue tones...

Your car is looking great Pikey.

I've been toying with taking some snaps in a car park like that ... to see what effect the lighting has .... difficult to get right.

The 2nd pic looks good and I like what Dino done with the other one.

I like them. the only prob is the whiteness of the back ground - as you say - has similarities with the auction pics.

Its amazing how different the shot that dino has edited looks. that is awesome as it takes the whiteness away - and makes it look more like a car that is waiting to be involved in some kind of ganster shoot out - or other illegal activities.

Good stuff but the string holding the splitter on spoils it

They're zip-ties

Honestly - string?

I got some aluminium stays on the way soon, so that should pimp it up a bit more.

I also took a few posey shots, all of which were very blurred due to my useless mate, but from a thumbnail sized one you can get the idea:

The reason all your posey shots were blurred was probably because your mate was pis#ing himself laughing.
It is hilarious to imagine 2 fully grown men spending the evening taking photo's of each other next to a car in a dingy car park. Also slightly seedy.
Thanks for the laughs pikey, youre AWESOME.

Mr. Awesome:

That's the best lit carpark in cheltenham, its hardly dingy is it

Thanks also for evading the swear filter and not knowing how to use an apostrophe - its good to know we have such literate and eloquent people contributing to this board.

Maybe with your seventh post you could come up with something useful? Although I suspect not

Really like that 1st pic, wouldnt bother me if it looked like an auction pic, and looks as good as any Pro-snapper pic.
You dont want clutter and shite in the background, its the car you wanna see.

Certainly woudnt of spent an hour doing it tho, photoshoots bore me to tears, lol...

It was only an hour as it was raining on the drive there so I had to wipe the car down first, and while I was doing that about 25 modded cars rolled up and people kept coming over and talking to me

Actually taking the photos only took about 20 minutes or something.

Its the underground part of Waitrose's carpark.
