EJAYY8's first photoshoot(56k no way)

[Ejayy8]

Hello everyone, i'm just entering in the photography and post editing field and i wanted to share some of my pictures from my first ever photoshoot today. Please, all criticism is welcome. Also, i know my car is nothing compared to some others, but i have some parts on order so we'll see how it turns out

clean car. great potential. IMO get stock taillights. and im assuming those are 17s but get 16s and suspension to lower. but great start.

Thanks, i actually have stock tails coming and those are actually 18's

BUt thanks, i was also wondering if i should take the wing off or not?

Looks nice except for the tails and huge rims.

Looks like you like the saturation and contrast buttons

But I do like the gungy kind of feel that I get from them.

You have some good composition on some of the photo's. A thing you want to remember is that...usually the inside of the tire isn't as appealing as the wheels.

A lil bit too much post processing for me. You'll get better as time goes on. What are you using for a editing program..? What camera do you have..?

Sorry Petey, i didnt even touch the saturation. I'm using just a trial of adobe cs3. All i did was adjust exposure, levels, and curves. Pretty basic stuff.

And for the "grunge" look on some of the pictures, i shot in raw and cs3 has an adjustment of clarity and i usually run that pretty high. I just like the look.

But thanks for your opinions, Tails are coming off anyday now, and i'll figure out someway to lower it with those 18's.

If you got smaller wheels, drop it, lose the taillights and pinstripe, it would look great! Just my opinion.

ohhhhhhhhh

must have been the curves then. I keep on forgetting about those buggers.

mhmm the curves really deepened the darker colors. Looking back at the pictures, i think I think i may have gone a little too overboard with them though.

o man. very nice. but ive never seen such a high civic before. the black on the car looks very nice. shiny and flawless. if it looks like that in person it be dope. or maybe its your cam tricks. good job.

i would keep the wing but to pull off those huge rims your going to needs some tuck in my opinion.

 

[CajunRicer]

lose the pinstripe

There is no pinstripe, But the pics look good man.

ahah i cant believe you're the first one to notice.
And actually I cannot find where to get the side molding. I've looked at majestic honda and some other places but had no luck in finding them. Does anyone know a site where i could find just that piece?
