Why not shoot it from other drivers' perspective - just the rear end!
Nice - got my eyes on a Cyber Grey with black stripes (if I only had $$). Is that an SS/RS or RS?

I'm hoping for some help with cropping suggestions for the following subject. I'm not happy with any of the exposures of these. I'm just looking for some cropping advise and / or techniques to use when I reshoot this weekend. I don't want the whole car in the picture.... I just don't have a feel for where the cutoff points are. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you =)
Hi Dawn ..... sometimes lighter colors and white can be really difficult to get the right exposure ..... this causes the camera aperture to stop up one or two f stops making the photo underexposed ..... this can be corrected by using a grey card to get a camera reading or use the sunny f16 rule .........i'm sure there are other methods .......

Here's an Idea. Break every preconception about how a car should be shot. Don't use the rule of thirds cast shadows on the car. Get a shallow depth of field. Add a subject to supplement the shot. Shoot the car at a slight angle with the headlight pointing toward you like the picture below and fill the frame. Be sure and adjust your aperture to get about a 8 or 10 foot depth of field.
Turn the fog lights on.
FIll the frame in Post if not when you shoot. Shoot when the sun down around 3 or 4 or 5 depending on where you live. (Get rid of everything except your subject(s))
Here's an example with my daughter and her Toyota Corolla.
Lines in parking lots and backgrounds become distracting. Except when they don't
The most Advice Ive ever given.
No more for the next year

This was done in an old MGI Photosuite,,, simple crop, get rid of the mirror, yellow sky, fill in more trees, get rid of line on roadway, lighten the photo ...
As you requested,, you did not want the whole car in the photo,, and you said exposure not right... so I hope this helps or at least is interesting.

Biggest problem with the originals is too much backlight from the sky and the resulting under-exposure on the car. Fill lighting from the camera side would help a great deal. As you can see from posts here, a lot of corrections can be made with software, but starting with a better original would give you more editing options.

One old trick is to wet down the pavement gives a darker look to it will look great with the white car. Nice shots

Has anyone thought it might be a good idea to shoot with a polarizer to open up the windshield and control some of the other stray reflections?
And were there any other witnesses to the accident that put that gal on the ground in the middle of the hiway? :lol:
