Where to shoot cars

protip:

get off auto
get a tri-pod
experiment in manual mode until you’re familiar with shutter speeds, ISO and f-stop.

Your grain is coming from a high ISO. In order to shoot in lower light with a lower ISO you’re going to need a slower shutter speed/bigger aperture size (smaller f-stop #) which is going to get you blurry pictures unless you’ve got a tripod or much steadier hands.

Thanks, good pointers. I had a tripod. ISO was definitely high and the shutter speed was way down, like the one was 10 seconds. the fstop was on the higher side also. I was not using easy mode(it shows).

I am still learning and appreciate any/all advice. I was just out having fun and thought any input from you guys would be great. I have been doing some reading about camera settings etc, but I have a hard time remembering what settings to use in what scenarios. I should create a mini cheat sheet to keep with my camera till I get the hang of it.

IMO, learn to use the camera, then worry about what is in the picture

Fair enough.

@FadetoBlack

I think people on this forum might take photography just a little too seriously.

Some people have a “passion” for photography.

It’s the same when someone hacks up a nice car and makes it “ricey” or mods “un-tastefully”. Most people with a “passion” for cars are going to hate on it.

Same with photography. My photos are not particularly “tasteful” yet.

i wasn’t trying to be mean, but if you know just the basics, the backdrop doesn’t matter as much

Hell, take a drive by some of the factories with big silos and pipes and park in a parking lot there or infront of the fencing. Could make for another good picture.
