I've always liked your photo style, the borders & upper and lower black lines add that little bit extra.

parts of the wheels are cut out eg 2,5 & 6, 10 needs a little bit more rim in the shot maybe?

[jordisonjr]

I'd have to agree.

I really like number , 7 and 9.
Although you tend to cut off i bit too much, number 2 the whole rim should be showing. Same with 5 and 6.
11 could have showed a bit more of the rear bumper and exhuast.
And 7, probably my favorite of the posted, may have looked a little better if the rim was facing the camera instead of the tire.

I hope I'm not being too harsh, cause I've always liked your photography style as well. And Im not a photographer or anything but I'm just pointing out what I see.

Keep it up man, and keep the pitures coming.

I like 2,7, and 11. Dude, you always take great shots, but some parts that were cut out from the ones I like, shouldn't have been cut out. But whatever camera you are using and what you know about taking in light, shutter speed and such (I am dumb to that stuff) is amazing. Always great photos taken each time, and just seeing your screen name will always hook me into a thread to see what you posted.

Oh yeah, any chance you happen to know what offset and what size those wheels are? I like them.

Same as others said. Like in 7, the bottom of the tire is cut off, so it makes the whole picture look a little awkward. I hope this isn't too harsh either, but I'm not really managing to find a true focus in some of your pictures.

Having said that, you still take better pics than me.

Never really thought about it that way and also the "where do you want the audience to focus on" in the picture i take. Ill take this into consideration for my next car shoot. Which will be tomorrow night!

I get to borrow my friends 10-22 tomorrow night too to play with too. So good for some wide shots

Be sure to post, because I wanna see! BTW what camera and equipment do you use?

[whatthe]

Hey RS i was just using a canon 550d, my trusty 50mm 1.8 and my tripod and some touch ups with lightroom.
Ive got my eyes set on a wider lens. Either a sigma 24mm 1.8 or the Tokina AT-X 116 Pro DX F2.8 11-16mm.

Havnt decided yet.

They're all great, but I love 6, 7, and 9!

[ilmatic]

7 is my fav.
props.
