Melbourne Autosalon - D/U Warning

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Not to sound too harsh and narky, but please re-read the announcement on the homepage :)

Pick out 3 or so pics that you want for critique and stick the rest in a gallery with a link to the gallery.

Judging from your pics and what I heard from friends, I don't think I missed out on a whole heap by not going to it.

The carshows usually are a pain when it comes to lighting with fluro lights, etc creating all sorts of hotspots but the car pics you've taken, the exposure seems to be good enough - from what you had to work it.

Composition needs some work. The first pic of the chrome rim feels more like a happy snap than anything. Usually with rims, get down low and make sure the entire rim is in the photo. Create a tighter comp with a portrait than a landscape layout.

The rest of the car pics, it would have been nicer if the entire car was in the pic or at least most of the car.

The pic of the Cadence model is pretty out of focus. With the models who are paid to be there (ie. Cadence) take your time and don't rush it.

IMHO, my personal preference would be the GT4 (or celica made to look like a GT4) as it's fairly sharp and I can actually see the whole car.

No. 3 and 4 are nice. How come they manage to make Australian auto shows so boring and repetative? Escapes me.... look at any of the asian shows, nice fresh cars, nice fresh girls.. sorry not your fault!!
