A few Nissans

[Jamie Holladay]

I had the opportunity to shot some friends cars while at Z-Fest in Orlando this weekend. I thought I would post them for some comments. Thanks Jamie

Jamie!!! Whats up brother man!?!? Ok...lets see here....8 friggen pictures???? LOL

Nice rides! Looks like you have yet to do much post work, so I guess the distractions in the sky on #1 will go. Is it me or is the horizon crooked in each level shot? Where do you get all of these cool Z's at one time? Good work as usual!

Thanks for the comments Tiny. I have not done much post. I'll get rid of the kite in #1. I will also go back and take a second look at the horizons.

Where do you get all of these cool Z's at one time? Good work as usual!
We went to Z-Fest in Orlando and Enjuku's JDM BBQ this past weekend. Of course the 180 is mine and the Silverstone 350Z is my best friends (like you guys havn't seen it enough). The other Z's are friends of ours from GA and FL that we have become aquainted with over the past few years through events like these.

I am not great at PP so if someone wants to offer some suggestions I would appreciate it.

Jamie- What lens are you shooting with? My suggestions are: Shoot with a telephoto lens and get lower. OR Shoot wide angle and get some cool distorted shots. OR shoot with a prime, and make the fixed focal legnth and DoF work for you (detail shots, etc).

Mark I shot with my 17-40L for most of them. I also shot with my 70-200 f/4L for some of the one that I did not post. I will try to get a link posted to the others later today. Thanks for the input.

Here is one more that might be closer to what you suggested, Mark.

Did you consider not putting them so close to the edge of the water? I think it would have added a little more separation from the background had you moved the cars forward. While these are "pretty" shots... I keep finding them flat... they just don't have any pop... at least to my eye.

Thanks for the comment JT. I did not have a lot of room to work with. There was about a 3/4 car length that was "flat" and then a slope down to the water that was about 20' +/-. Forward sloped down to a drainage pond.

While these are "pretty" shots... I keep finding them flat... they just don't have any pop... at least to my eye.

Is the lack of Pop compostition (other than what you've already mentioned) or something that could be corrected in PP? (I suck a PP)

Possibly PP would help... but they just seem to lack drama.. The first one comes closest to me.
