Blurred lines - SDSU parking structure vs my Whiteout - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

suaveflooder · 07-03-2013, 01:23 AM

I've always loved parking garages, mostly because they have so many straight lines. It's always fun to take a curvy car in to take some pictures. They REALLY stand out. I needed a new sig pic as the one I have is 5 months old and the car has been tweaked a touch, so I figured I would take a couple pics and see what came out. These were the finalists.

Anyway, nothing crazy special, just a well designed, clean car, a bored owner, and a D5000. I've already caught a couple things I would change and I do welcome CONSTRUCTIVE criticism ON MY PICTURES (lol, I'm not taking the plate off the front of the car until I can repaint the bumper

)

Gonna see if I can't drag @johnb831 and his BRZ out to a similar structure for some "mirror" shots. He just painted his tails red and his car is lowered at about the same height. Could be fun

I like how the photos look B&W, but they're not, and if you look closely you can see that it's an unedited effect, that color hasn't been artificially added. Or at least you did a convincing job, lol...

The pics seem decent quality and contrast, but I'd say try for more dynamic composition, cropping and framing for more interesting shots. Also adding a black border can help frame the image. I also recommend adding a space in the text when you link the images so its easier to visually separate them, (unless that it, you want them to be viewed as a single tall image).

spacing fixed :happy0180:

I'll mess with the framing and see what I can come up with! Thanks! And you are correct. Photos are 100% unedited.

Nice pics!!!

OrangeJuleas · 07-03-2013, 05:44 PM

Hey @suaveflooder, send me the original pics and I will make them look more badass for you!

The positioning, lighting and composition and pretty good, but I can fix those levels for you to bright the whites out to play.

Nice! Thanks! PM me your emal and I'll send them over tonight when I get off work (so you'll probably get them in the morning...I work until 11pm) :happy0180:

You do realize this thread is in the wrong forum - FYI, your car is not a BRZ.

nice shots. I'm a fellow D5000 owner too and I also like taking shots inside a parking garage.

Maybe you're not into the editing/manipulating, but I would suggest PS'ing out the white parking lines to clean up the image. For example I did that here:
