Like i said, im new to photgraphy, just picked up a nikon d60
these are al unedited
really want some feedback
constructive critisizm! not flaming


::dont mind the no front lip or the heat wrap on my DP comming off
just took it off and installed my lip yesterday





















also need settings to use for nighttime car shoots
the shutter stayed open too long the other night, none of the pics came out good
needless to say i didnt use a tripod

 

good pics, wheres the lip??

 

for night shots the shutter speed needs to stay open for a long time to let extra lights in, but that u can play around with. Get yourself a tripod because the camera needs to stay steady.

 

got ripped off in one of the snowstorms we had
chunk of ice fell off of a truck infront of me, couldn go to either side of it, so i just slammed my breaks and hoped id stop before it
needless to say, i didnt

then picked up one from a guy on the forums
and just installed it yesterday

 

Nice looking GG, good to see another MA evo!

 

yeah!
no constructive critisizm?! :-/

 

keep shooting bro, that's the only way you'll learn photography.

understand that photography is 100% subjective, so don't always listen to other's opinions, but do take their ideas and blend them with your own.

with car photography, location is key, especially with a stock appearing car. find some better locations and keep shooting.

that's my advice

 

I just bought a nikon d60 for my wife last month. She is still learning but loves it.

 

car looks good. As for the photography, are you shooting in manual or auto mode? What were the settings at? The only thing I can really see is maybe try lowering your ISO setting to no more than 200 for daytime shots and play around with f-stop and white balance, etc.. I have a Nikon as well, but a D80 so I'm not too sure as to how similar the D60 is with settings. The best way is to just keep playing around with the settings and stuff. Also, not to be too critical, but alot of people will tell you that they want to see the full car in the pic, not "myspace angles" and find a location that compliments your car. that's my .02

 

100% true, and its hard, especially in boring *** suburban areas. but this of course is also subjective, and i am also bias since im biggest on landscape photography

dslr's are the **** but you can still get great pics without one (couldnt go back now thou). dont wast your money on a nice camera if you dont have the skills first to use it for its potential. believe me it will not make photos any better without practice first

 

nice picks i like the clean look now just get a Carbon fiber RA lip and its perfect

 

clean!! what happened to your lip?

 

id say firstly when posting pics, number them so its easier for people looking to post up some criticism or comments. Secondly, some of the pics are entirely missing 95% of the car. When you do that, try to at least focus on some part of the car (like in the 4th pic, the car is barely there and whats left of it is not really relevant). um...as mentioned before location is key, but even in a good location, keep an eye out for things that can be distracting (the orange "cone"). The key is practice, and since we're almost all digital, take hundreds of pics, or as many in one location, and post up only the good ones.

 

Invest in a tripod man, you'll definitely thank yourself. Good pics though.

 

not bad
