I took a few photos of a friends car the other week. He's had it a while now, and has had bits smoothed, lowered and some well suited (in my oppinion) ATS Cups put on it.

All the shots were experimental but this one caught my eye and few of my friends eyes too!





Used a fish eye lense on it, and shot in RAW and HDR (-1 0 +1 stops) at about ISO 80.


Comments please smile


Regards Jim.

ISO80? Didn't know cameras went below 100! Shows how much I know biggrin

Anyhow really like the shot, real perfect smooth look to the paint which shows it off really well. If I was being critical thogh I'd say that the light piece of metal poking out the boot was distracting. Perhaps you should have just moved the car back a little to totally cover it?

Other than that, really nice biggrin

(having posted my car shots up for comments it makes me see what others look at...so I say that as a total amateur biggrin)

really good picture there! love the polo aswell.

as a noob here why use such a low iso? a thought that you use low iso with lower shutter speeds.

Thanks Guys!

Tony - Thanks for pointing it out. As with most of my photos I take, I get them home and see things I haven't seen through the view finder. As I always say, Critercism is the way forward and the best way to improve, so thanks for pointing that one out smile


Johnston - I always try to use a low ISO on my photos if I have my tripod with me. I believe it makes the pictures alot more faultless and also doesn't give off so much noise. In darker situations, I use higher ISO's but usually take several in different settings if I believe the picture to be a "Keeper".

On another token, I could be very much mistaken, but in my eyes, I have always had better results shooting with my lowest ISO on a tripod.

I think it's fair to say that as a rule using the lowest possible ISO in all situations is better.

Sometimes high ISO is a necessity, at all other times I keep mine at 200 or lower.

Can't offer any advice as I'm not a photographer, but I'm loving the Polo!
