What camera did you use? That might be step 1 towards a great photoshoot.

Your flash killed it. Get a tripod and lose the flash.

i see that you shot with a sony DSC-T33, which is basically a point and shoot and doesnt offer you much room to play with. the following is your the camera settings you used for the shot:

Exif Sub IFD

* Exposure Time (1 / Shutter Speed) = 10/80 second = 1/8 second = 0.125 second
* Lens F-Number/F-Stop = 35/10 = F3.5
* Exposure Program = normal program (2)
* ISO Speed Ratings = 250
* Exif Version = 0220
* Original Date/Time = 2007:12:31 19:18:22
* Digitization Date/Time = 2007:12:31 19:18:22
* Components Configuration = 0x01,0x02,0x03,0x00 / YCbCr
* Compressed Bits per Pixel = 8/1 = 8
* Exposure Bias (EV) = 0/10 = 0
* Max Aperture Value (APEX) = 58/16 = 3.63
Max Aperture = F3.51
* Metering Mode = pattern / multi-segment (5)
* Light Source / White Balance = unknown (0)
* Flash = Flash fired, compulsory flash mode, return light not detected
* Focal Length = 85/10 mm = 8.5 mm
* FlashPix Version = 0100
* Colour Space = sRGB (1)
* Image Width = 2592 pixels
* Image Height = 1944 pixels
* Image Source = 0x03,0x6b,0xce,0x0a
* Scene Type = 0x01,0xf5,0xaf,0xbe

looking at the info i'd suggest the following:

1. use a tripod, especially in lowlight/night shots. if you dont have one handy, just lean your camera on something sturdy.

2. when you dont have a tripod, bump up your ISO setting on your cam, the higher the ISO the faster the 'film' meaning that for low light shots you'll have a faster shutter speed, which reduces the chances of a blurry shot.

3. avoid the use of the flash, turn it off. you dont want to see the reflection of the flash off your windows, and/or the reflectors on your car. plus, without the flash, your camera will automatically try to compensate with a longer shutter speed, but you will need a tripod or something sturdy to lean the camera on otherwise your shot will be blurry.

4. lastly, the composition of the shot itself.. for the side profile try to center the car (if you notice you almost cut off the rear bumper). the drawbacks of your camera is that your built in lens doesnt offer much flexibility. what i would do if you can, is use the widest zoom setting on your cam and take the shot, taking away as much of the 'dead space' such as the road, and fill the shot more with the car as the background isnt the most interesting.

and oh, practice... nice car btw

As for taking nice pics... you can get a canon 1d mkIII and all the xpensive lens's in the world BUT if you dont have 'the eye' you'll still take crappy pics... SONY CYBERSHOT 650 FTW!!!


Quick Reply: i wish i could take good pics...
