Carry on from this thread GUIDE: How to get your car to calendar


This isn't a smarta$$ thread to people to laugh at, its to help people improve their skills.

taking photo's
Guide to taking photo's
Guide to taking photo's
those sites do explain alot and are worth a good read.

I'm no professional or anything, so this what camera I'm using a Kodak C743 (7.1 mega pixel, 3X optical zoom)

>>(apart from getting a "better" camera what else can help?)

OK when I took these photo's at was about 11am (which apperently you shouldn't do between 10am and 4pm)

so I chose a simple place, tidyed it up abit (You dont want a distracting background that takes the focus any from your celica.)


and now add a clean(ish) Celica, washed yesterday




doing a bit of photoshoping I tidyed up the lawn (not perfect, but does look nicer)



Changing the exposure compensater (or lighting*?)




this is apperntly another no no having the sun in front of your celica, too much glare and shadows.

will put more up
