Default 90 Prelude Si + 96 EK Hatch Photoshoot

Well my dad finally got a d60, so i decided to try it out. let me know what you think of my photo's as far as angle/lighting etc. critique is welcomed.

My car is the lude and my buddy josh has the EK.

(i know the iso is too high and it will be turned down for the next shoot. also i messed with no levels in PS, just stroked and watermarked them.)

and as far as the cars go, flame away :-D

here you go:













borrowed the idea of the stickered wink mirror from mario

















My buddy Josh's K20 swapped and boosted EK Hatch.

That prelude is nice, but that K20+T hatch takes the cake. The color on both of those is really nice too.


Your angles are little too "high" if that makes sense. Try bending at the knees more next time. We see cars like that all the time so change it up a bit.

Preludes really nice. Some of the pics are a little blurry. Tripod? Also try to minimize the amount of junk in the background. The 3rd pic would be great if you cut out the restaraunt and were a little closer to the car. Thats a cool looking building.

Both cars are really nice! That EK has to get down pretty good. Is it Laguna Seca Blue from the E46 M3?

thank you, and yeah, his hatch is a great car. i think he might be selling it to get an sti tho

and yeah i see what you mean about getting a little lower. the cars do look better when shot lower.

thanks, and the bay is a mess right now. I got everything but the bay painted when the car was sprayed this summer. right now its just bolt ons, but when i do my h22 swap sometime in the future the bay will get the attention it deserves. i just ran out of funds because of college. someday tho, lol.

thanks, and the first ones i didn't use one which i now know i should have. and yeah, there is a lot of junk in the backgrounds of a few of them. just things i need to watch out for next time.

you are correct sir, laguna seca blue it is. The Ek pulls so hard its crazy. i want to swap and boost my lude now because of riding in this thing.

and thanks.

thanks guys, i appreciate it. and no problem, i hope to do another shoot sometime when i go back home from college.

but i know what you mean. the 3rd gen lude isn't nearly as appreciated as it should be. the car handles like a dream and the gearing makes it a blast to drive. to bad there aren't more people willing to work on them, because they are worth every cent.

you need to work on your angles and your focus. your focus point is off in a lot of shots. that blue ek could be really nice i feel like, but the harsh lighting on the paint is killin it for me.

its a brand new camera and has WAYYYY more options that i know how to use yet. i see what you are saying about the focus and the light tho. it is just a tad to harsh in a couple of these shots, i'll agree with you on that.

i'll keep an eye out for all these things next time.

i appreciate the feedback.

BOTH LOOK GREAT! SOME PICS LITTLE OUT OF FOCUS. TRY A TRIPOD OR SETTING THE ISO LOWER. TRY EXPERMENTING WITH DIFFERENT FILTERS. WITH THE DITING RY THE NEGITIVE ONE IT WOULD LOOK REALLY COOL WITH A COUPLE OF YOUR POSSES. HOPE HE KEEPS THE HATCH
