Default 7 New Pics

It was nice and overcast all day but once I actually got downtown to shoot the sun come out. I still took some shots since I was there but they are far less than they could have been had the lighting cooperated.

Overall nothing too spectacular but I feel alot of potential in those Marathon Motor Works shots, especially #4. When I get some nice lighting and a chance to shoot I'm going back and working on the camera settings, getting some better angles, and try to come out with some amazing shots.

Try shooting at a lower Aperture so the background is blurred more (for #4) and I bet that will make it come out with the desired look you're going for. Also shoot it when the sun isnt directly on it, you may need a tripod because that would prob look best at sunset or anytime if the whole car could be in the shade.

Thanks guys.

joker, that was my intent. Going for that cloudy overcast day shoot but the sun came out once I got on location. The shots would have been much better if the lighting would have cooperated. But most of these shots were taken in a part of town I'm not too keen on being in around sunset with $1500 worth of camera around my neck snapping shots of a flashy car that makes alot of noise when I'm moving it around for pics.

bad95, for sure man. I'm a huge fan of all your shots. You've got some serious skill behind the lens. Anything I ever post up you're more than welcome to use.
