    Quick Sweep

    Hard to go slow on this road.Sweeper #1. I never park like this!. Here is a very rough draft of an idea....
    Copy, paste 1203cc,100 ft./lbs torque. This is a 10mm shot as opposed to the Long sweeper (75mm)The W/A might be an improvement.This capture was framed as is, not cropped. I thought the B / W worked as well if not better. Your thoughts?
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Image 3 is the 180 perspective to show the harsh lighting.

    Finally, 2 questions about the composition of image #1. (reshoot tips)
    1.The near 50/50 horizon placement... does it work?
    2. Since there is a foreground element... will the left side framing work or go full guard rail ? Thanks again for the advice.

    Rick, my first thought is to pan right and take the driveout ..um..out of the picture..or in the last pic to move up and then pan enough to get your composition. It might be better with the continuation of the sweeper in the mind. Try to keep it under 100.
    Please ask to edit photos and I'll do the same! :thumbsup:
    Thx, Rod

    I like the first one. The gauges work well in the shot. I think it would have been better if you had them in focus. Good idea.

    The only problem I see, is that it looks like you've been driving on the wrong side of the road. The horizon placement isn't really noticable, due to the hills.

    I like the first photo, the lines and color are great and I agree with Greg the gauges work well in the shot. Could have lost the car though, a little annoying.
    :thumbsup: Shootme...
