I agree. there was one picture that seemed to be on though… edit: Should really get a polarizer to make the sky show up. edit2: Turn off the RUNNING LIGHTS!! edit3: Are you fucking with saturations in photoshop or something? The noise is kind of obvious. Cropping the living dick out of it? edit4: try changing it to more vivid to see if you can’t really bring that yellow out. You have such a bright vibrant color, try to make all the colors in the picture come out. ---

> [@IanK](#): > > Theres a shit ton of noise in the pics, what are you shooting with ? > > Edit: NVM, D60. What ISO ? D60, honestly the knit-picking is kinda lame. These picks were not meant to be perfect, nor were they meant to be put in a magazine. So looking at these pics and saying “there’s a shit ton of noise in these” means nothing to me. These are raw photos with no editing to them. ---

So looking at these pics and saying “there’s a shit ton of noise in these” means nothing to me. These are raw photos with no editing to them. OK But you titled it as a photoshoot, that says to me that you made some attempt to setup and take nice pics. So are you saying that you dont want anyones advice on how to take a nice shot of your car ? Im not picking on you at all, I just know the DSLR is all about the leaning curve and clearly you could use some guidance, which myself and so many others are willing to offer, not nitpicking, just trying to help. ---

The person that was with me is a prof photographer/producer. He offered to clean up the pics contrast/tint/texture but i just didnt see the point. I felt they looked good as is and was just happy being able to get some good shots in good location with a real camera. ---
