Two and six rule.

For some reason my mind didn't register your comment. I thought you were saying I had messed up on some kind of photography rule, like rule of thirds. I kept thinking, what is the "two and six" rule? Then it clicked.

1-2 are pretty darn nice
3-4-5 choose your backgrounds to relate to the car
6 nice
7 no center of interest, your eyes follow the lines all over the place and then fall out of your head:eek:

I would have if I had a choice

That's what I was kind of going for. There is a point on the car where everything kind of comes together with tubes, lights, suspension, and some bodywork. I wanted to show the complexity of the design.

#2 is great. I really like #4 as well... while the background may not be perfect for the car, it is interesting and non-distracting. I'd take that background over something that was distracting. I'm not a big fan of the license plate, even if it is Atom related, so that's the only major thing that I'd like to see different. Very nicely done!

You always have a choice! This isn't the old Soviet Union! The running shots had a good location.

Even abstract shots have to have something of interest otherwise it's just a bunch of stuff. Compositionally speaking, your eyes are drawn to the brightest part of the image (aka shiny, pretty things). So when you look at the shot you look at the main tube in the middle of the frame and you go up to the bright light at the top and that's about it...

Sorry... I'm rattling around reconfiguring my home network... with a new machine, new external drives, a headless file sharing box and add Kristin to the system (while converting her to Mac) all in the mix. So.. I'll hope you'll understand and forgive my economy with words. LOL

Great pics, cool car :D

[David Moore]

I liek the motion shots. I never get to take those so I am always drawn to them. heh.

I got the chance to ride in an Atom, damn amazing machines. It was a cool one too, all black. Maybe i'll post some pics of it later.

[Andrew Wheeler]

Umm, where can I buy one?

Brammo Motorsports are the guys that sell them in the US.

Emily said i have make do with the tweaked CRX Si we have because she figured (and possibly quite rightly so) that I might kill myself in that one and what would Todd Corzett do if I wasn't around...Let alone Mike Levitt not having someone to shout WEEEELAH at...

I'm new to this site, but I've seen them before. Your work is outstanding. I have taken a few pics of out 2 local atoms and I just love these cars.

[Drew Phillips]

Where else did you see them posted? They've only been a few places so far.

[Andre Thompson]

Why the Atom Forums, of course!

[Drew Phillips]

Can you post a link? I always like seeing where my photos end up.
