  • "Almost" perfect pictures of my cars

    Wanted to share some pictures I took of both of my cars. They almost turned out perfect, but i think it was actually TOO sunny out. This seemed to reflect off the brighter colors too much. What do you guys think? Better results on a cloudy day maybe?

    I assume you are using a digital camera?

    If you can adjust the shutter speed, you can make it quicker and it will make it seem darker outside, if you slow it down it will make things seem brighter.


    Look here at some examples, teh bottom pic was the camera in "auto" mode with flash, the rest are slow shutter speed pics without a flash.

                  Yikes, those are very very exposed. Just a few tips, underexpose your picture from the start if you can and bring it up a bit in photoshop. Also the Exposure meter in most p&s digital cams is in the center, make sure this is pointed at the brightest point of a bright car or darkest part for a dark car. As you'll notice the cars and grass in front is really bright but the dark woods in the background have good detail. This is because the meter has locked into the background and is overexposing to make the dark shadows in the background brighter. If you're camera has it you can use exposure lock or just manual settings. Either will yeild better results. Photoshop can't do much with any of them the white detail is far far gone.

                  A cloudy day is actually one of the best times to take pictures of shiny, bright, dark objects as it gets a little closer to a neutral gray which all metering devices seek to achieve. A polarizer probably woulden't be a bad idea either.
