Sco0terzsl Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 (edited) I went out the other night just to screw around and try some new things. Overall I'm pretty happy with a few of them... not so much on some others but hey, that's what experimenting is all about. Let me know what you guys think. 1 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/06%20Mini%20Cooper%20S/IMG_9501copy.jpg 2 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/06%20Mini%20Cooper%20S/IMG_9450copy.jpg 3 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/06%20Mini%20Cooper%20S/IMG_9460copy.jpg 4 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/06%20Mini%20Cooper%20S/IMG_9476copy.jpg 5 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/06%20Mini%20Cooper%20S/IMG_9403copy.jpg 6 I really liked this spot so I did a typical shot here. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/06%20Mini%20Cooper%20S/IMG_9435copy.jpg Some shots from yesterday 7 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/06%20Mini%20Cooper%20S/IMG_9547copy.jpg 8 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/06%20Mini%20Cooper%20S/IMG_9508copy.jpg 9 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/06%20Mini%20Cooper%20S/IMG_9526copy.jpg Edited March 26, 2009 by Sco0terzsl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I wish I knew how to use my camera. My wife probably spent to much on a shitty new camera that probably doesnt even take good pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sco0terzsl Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 If you have any questions I am more than happy to answer them for you. If I don't know the answer I can at least send you in the right direction. 90% of it is knowing how to work your camera the other 10% is the quality of the equipment. To this day, some of my favorite pictures were taken with my bottom of the barrel, plain old Digital Rebel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 My wife just bought some fugi camera. Seemed over priced to me and I dont know anything about camera quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossle Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I like 1 and 3 because of their uniqueness, and because I think that the Mini dash/Instrument cluster is the shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I have an old Canon with most normal features but still cannot take night pics worth a damn. How do you get your car to show up so clearly? Mine always look crappy Long exposures with a tripod. Manual controls aren't a must for good pics, but to get the really good ones, they are a must. Here and in many others he likes to make use of off camera flash too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sco0terzsl Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 My wife just bought some fugi camera. Seemed over priced to me and I dont know anything about camera quality. Do you know whast Megapixel? Is it a point and shoot or an SLR? Long exposures with a tripod. Manual controls aren't a must for good pics, but to get the really good ones, they are a must. Here and in many others he likes to make use of off camera flash too. Very true, I would invest in a tripod and read through the manual on how to adjust your shutter speed for long exposures. I'm sure I've said it before, but the best way to get an understanding of photography is to think of a bucket of water. Instead of water you use light and the bucket is the picture. If you have a dark picture you don't have enough water, so you need to let light in longer, if it is too bright it is the exact opposite.

How do you get your car to show up so clearly? Mine always look crappy like this http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v260/Ricochet16/ws6002.jpg Quick clean up in Photoshop. http://www.pbase.com/timothylauro/image/110599353.jpg Key to that type of shot would be to find a location where the hundreds of small lights are gone and your parking lights off. Long exposure time. The background would have a nice blur or bokeh yet be interesting enough. The one here works thanks to the color and fountain. Frame it so that the street gutter is out of the shot. You had the idea overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sco0terzsl Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 This is it. http://www.cameras.co.uk/reviews/fuji-finepix-s2000hd.cfm My future brother in law has one very similar to that one... if not that exact model. He has taken some killer shots with it. From doing a quick search on dpreview I would say that it is a pretty capable camera. Not only does it take high quality pictures you can shoot manually and it has a pretty good continuous shooting feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your camera > You Grab a tutorial online or at the bookstore on getting to use a camera and walk through the basics. Seriously, just do a chapter per night and by the end of the month you'll be amazed at how you've improved. Bring it on 4/24. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim1647545497 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Ok ok im stupid, but how did you get the pic of the engine thru the hood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sco0terzsl Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Ok ok im stupid, but how did you get the pic of the engine thru the hood? Take two shots. One with the hood up and then one with the hood down. After that you need to combine the two in photoshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Take two shots. One with the hood up and then one with the hood down. After that you need to combine the two in photoshop. Out of sheer curiosity, how would this work with a backwards opening hood like on a Datsun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nization Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Out of sheer curiosity, how would this work with a backwards opening hood like on a Datsun? You'd either have to do it from an angle favorable to your style of bonnet, or remove it from the car for the exposed shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
