Night sHots | Attempt 1

Here is my first attempt at some night shots. I'm looking for some feedback on these pics.















Blurry pic of new radio w/ factory pocket:




I learned that the sweet thing about night pics is that people can't see how dirty your car actually is, especially w/ the yellowish lights. I also learner that I need a tripod so I don't have to take all of my pictures from a curb or from the ground.

Looks good, but the car is too far away in most of the pictures. There is a lot of glare from the lights, so maybe somewhere with less lighting or using a shorter exposure time would help? I cant say anything because I havent ever tried night shots. I commend your efforts

um.. seems like in some of the shots the focus was on the ground instead on the car. Try getting the car into the focus box. :thumb:

The problem is that i wasn't using a tripod, so some of the shots i had to put the camera on the ground, and my camera only has digital zoom so the zoom pics seem out of focus. I guess i was just trying to get the background in a lot of the pics.

First off: Nice car

Second: Basic Photography tips.

1. Don't put the horizon in the center of the photograph
2. Don't put the subject in the exact center of the photograph. For starters, follow the "rule of thirds." Put the subject either 1/3 from the top or 1/3 from the bottom. 1/3 from the left, or 1/3 from the right. The intersection of 2 of these lines is best.

Check this link if you are confused.

3. Don't EVER use digital zoom. If your camera only has digizoom, you need a new camera. ^_^

4. Keep taking photos! The more you take the better they'll get. ^_^
