Here's a picture of a trailblazing EVO. He was going so fast he almost escaped my shutter
Another EVO, EVO 9 tho. Although the panning shot just doesn't look right, can anyone help me with some pointers on panning shots?

Hi,
Possibly the best thread on these forums.
Maybe if you tone down the photos a touch they might not be quite so in your face. Some look like you've gone a bit far on the levels. Also, instead of taking photos of the cars on extreme angles, try aligning with the road, angle shots can work well if you are only taking a photo of a section of the car, but when it's the whole car - especially for a whole set of photos - it can make it unpleasant to view.
...Oh yer, more photos of Subaru's please!
Cheers,
Nik
Hi Nik,
Thanks i'll keep that in mind next time I do some photos. Most likely to be the B4 and the EVO.
Cheers,

What a funny thread.
Bad day Alex?
Will, The shots aren't too bad. I can see what you're attempting here.
A great rule of thumb for photography beginners (I'm only assuming you're a beginner) is to use the rule of thirds. Below is some info relating to the rule of thirds... Trust me, it really helps in producing some amazing shots.
It works like this:
Imaginary lines are drawn dividing the image into thirds both horizontally and vertically. You place important elements of your composition where these lines intersect. Imagine youre viewfinder is broken up into thirds as in the diagram below:
As well as using the intersections you can arrange areas into bands occupying a third or place things along the imaginary lines. As you can see it is fairly simple to implement.
Good places to put things; third of the way up, third of the way in from the left , you get the idea. Duff places to put things; right in the middle, right at the top, right at the bottom, away in the corner.
Using the Rule of Thirds helps produce nicely balanced easy on the eye pictures. Also, as you have to position things relative to the edges of the frame it helps get rid of ' tiny subject surrounded by vast empty space' syndrome.
One last thing about the Rule of Thirds for the time being. Once you have got the hang of the Rule of Thirds you will very quickly want to break it ! This is fine. As I said earlier these 'rules' are best used as guidelines and if you can create a better image by bending or ignoring rules then fire away.
As previously mentioned, try to reduce the crazy angles, having to tilt your head to understand what an image is detracts from the purpose/story/composition of your photo. Of all the great photos that have been taken over time, have you ever seen any that are taken using a crazy angle? Not many I can guarentee that... Use the horizon line as much as you can, it's something we can all relate to.
As for your photoshop skills??? I'm no expert on that front, but your chps look OK to me. It looks as though you were trying to cartoonise or give the cars a comic book feel of sorts?? Yes?
Keep it up mate, practice, practice, practice. I couldn't care less if the pictures you post aren't of Subarus, It keeps it interesting and after all, it is your thread.

A close mate of mine is a great photographer (Won a couple of awards)

Not bad But considering he has 2 13 grand camera bodies + his own online camera accessory store it makes it a little easier
Some nice photos ther Tom.

For most of these shots i've had the main focus right in the middle. Does this have anything to do with the focus area? as in, if I recall one stop before and after will be in focus?
Will, put the other cars back up mate.
will do when i get home
