Chrysler 300 C

Curious for any feedback, especially the pro's on this site for any improvements or overlooked obvious mistakes that I may not have thought of, including PP work. Thanks for any feedback anyone.

The strong contrast works well, but the subject is a bit meh to me.

The outside fenders are to blown out and the right headlight is brighter than the other. It's almost as if you were pat way in a garage. But I like the composition and with few more trys this would be real good.

Thank you for commenting. But what does "Meh" mean?

It means the Chrysler 300C is lame I assume.

Great composition, I'd recommend HDR if you can, HDR + Cars = cool combo.

Haha, ok, thanks for the unofficial explaination. Thanks for your thoughts.

I keep hearing about HDR, plug in for CS2 right?

sweet shot, i like it. The very tight crop and high contrast helps to put all the emphasis directly on the car. good angle for shooting too. still retains its power.

Brent, thank you for your compliments.

I used a polarizer too to get the reflections controlled where I wanted. The setting was outdoors, there was a range of hills behind it that were brightly lit, therefore I could drown them out so that only the important parts remained.

Cheers, Carl

I dont have photoshop, but for HDR I use the open source program QTPFSGUI. (google will find it for ya)

But I know there's a way to do it with CS2.

HDR = bracketed shots, from 2 to 15...really depends how patient, dedicated, experienced you are. And the best exposure from each is selected. It's pretty cool
