OK so my roommate and I went and washed the cars and took a few pics with my new Canon T3i




















And now the stripe change. I know many wont like my choice of colour/stripes but its what i like.

Before:

and After:


PLease give me your thoughts on the pictures as i just bought the DSLR and am just learning to play with it.

 

Nice pics, need more close up shots. I like the green, but that's what I have too. Are those stance or vossen on the BMW?

 

Great looking cars. I think the hash marks are a little much but I like the green.

 

So I was scrolling through your pictures on TMS app on my phone and thinking how much cleaner your car looks than that BMW and then I got to the last one and dropped my phone.

I'm sorry but those green stripes ruined it. It went from sleek and understated to autozone pimped. Just my opinion.

 

The wheels on the bimmer are Vossen.

Thats your opinion which is totally fine, i knew as soon as i put them on that it would a love/hate thing for most people.

I wanted a splash of colour(I admit its a rather heavy splash). and Green is my favourite colour. I will get some better pictures of the stripes when the weather gets a bit nicer/im not on nights. the only pic i have was taken with my galaxy not my Canon.

 

Not a big fan of the stripes. Minus the wheels, i thought your car was nearly perfect from looking at the earlier pics with the bmw. Which by the way the bmw looks really nice as well.

 

Not to my liking at all,but its your ride,and what you think counts!

 

This!

 

wonderful photo-shot.. is this with the stock lens.

 

Nice pics and great looking cars. As a professional photographer I will give you a couple ideas. As far a your camera and lens, get a good filter and cheap hood for your lens. If you look close you will see flares, circles caused by the sun in the pictures. A filter and hood will minimize this affect.

Also light is key and your pictures will turn out better with shooting early morning or in the evening. This way, you'll get a lovely warm side wash of sunlight on your car and you'll avoid the overtly harsh brightness of the midday sun, which will cause problems with reflections. If you shoot in the shade you will have to add light to the subject. Your car blends into the shadows.

Last thing is to try different angles. Shoot from the ground up. It will give your car menacing look.

Have a great day and keep shooting.

 

I like the green just to many maybe take the hood stripe or hash marks off.
But if you like it thats all that matters

 

I like the green and the width of those hashmarks. I'm looking for them in a matte black. Mind sharing where you got yours?

 

Love the strips. If a splash of color is what you were going for then you hit that spot on.

 

Looks good! The hash marks aren't my cup of tea but they are well executed here, still respect it.

 

Thanks for the tips! I still havent played with the camera much, but i would like to take some better pictures.

Petunia, I got all the stripes done at a local vinyl shop. they did all the green for about $375 (that included removal of the factory stripes)

and a shameless plug of a more current pic.

 

Looking good!

 

BMW wheels seem too big to me. Too much green on the mustang, not my cup of tea but that style is popular.

 

Not a fan of the green

 

I like the green. I would remove the hood stripes and hash marks, and do a super snake style stripe kit over the whole car. That'd look sweet!

 

IMO the Super snake stripes are a bit too "cookie cutter" for me. I like mine since its a unique combination.
