BMW 325

[MantaMike]

Went out today to shoot my dad's BMW 325. I wanted to take some "interesting" shots rather than just the normal straight forward car shots i usually take. I also wanted play about with the processing which i have never really done before, apart from simple level adjustments and cropping.

Quite please with the results, but as always any comments, criticisms, hints and advice greatfully received.

I think the first one is a little over exposed, which has resulted in giving you a bit of a soft image as well. Composition isn't bad although a wider angle may of suited it alot better.

The rest are pretty good. Good levels used int them. My favourite one is of the front headlight against the crates.. selective colour is a brilliant idea for that one.

Nice shots. Personally don't like the flare on the lights in 1, 5 + 7 are the best for me.

Thanks for the comments guys.

I know what you mean about pic 1, i shot it on a long exposure because i wanted to get the flare effect on the headlights, but that meant i had to bring the levels up a lot in processing to get definition which has resulted in a rather over processed look i think.

number 7 is my favourite, i think it makes what is ultimatley a fairly mundane car look very dramatic.

Yeh number 7 is one of my favourites too. Try using a ND (Neutral Density) filter.. longer exposure with a more user friendly aperture then .
