yesterday evening of my car getting washed (or rather, just after it was washed)

Nothing is really creative as it was in the driveway but take a look and tell me what you think..

Images are just JPG in fine, jpg and iso 200 format. No post processing as Ive not got Photoshop yet

Kris- we need a link to have a look.....

At least I post links.

They may be restricted, but ....

hheheh... sorry guys thats what happens when im up early!

Strueth mate!!!!!

Nice car BUT, can you crop and/or resize the photos first please.

2.3mb is a bit large, especially for dail-up.

I do like Audis though. I wish i had one.

hehe! ey ey captain!

Awesome car mate

Great images too !!!!!!

Cheers

I personally think they suck, so please give me constructive critisim because I know NOTHING about this camera or how to shoot correctly in various instances..

Kris, I think the 'big reds' look great on your car and must do the job very well. You didn't knock them off from some poor unsuspecting 996tt driving through Chatwood did you?

Hi Kris,

here is my opinion:
what kind of fotos of that car would make you want to buy it ?
It would have to shine, the light would need to reflect and play on the car.
Sparkle is the trick. Bring it out !
Reflections and bright colours would be nice. Some boldness.
Just my 20 cents worth.
Cheers
Christian.

I think you have some nice shots of the car but one thing I can point out is always check your image before & after you take it (with digital anyway)...

For instance image number 10, I think this could be a better image with better lighting but also the first thing I noticed was the dirt in the number 3... The rest of the car is so clean and then you have taken an image of a dirty logo...

Anyway, I always try to look at everything (not that is always works) before pressing the shutter.

The good thing here is you can easily go out and clean the logo and then try again, you can even clean my car if you wish

Thanks for the input guys, yes you know I didnt even know the S3 logo was THAT dirty until I actually saw the photograph. The area in which the shot was taken is fairly ordinary (gf's parents place) but I want to head down to the Bridge (of which I live very very close to) to take some good photos when my shots improve..

The 'big reds' came from the Porsche dealer and yes, they do the job exceptionally well with the increased power the car has (210kw,380NM)

I have a question, when taking photographs of logos and small things close up, what settings seem to work well if the subject is well lit?

Kris, for your own safety and that of your Audi, you might wanna blank out the number plates so curious types don't go searching for your car based on your location stated in your profile.
