Almost the same car as I posted yesterday... A "Citroen Traction Avant", constructed between 1934 - '57. Much more about this car you can find here :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citro%C3%ABn_Traction_Avant
Maybe someone would find the reflection of the man on the car distracting and the woman at the right side... It was to crowdy there to catch the cars without people around. Even more : I find the way the man is reflected on the car a little funny... don't you ? |

Hi Luc,
I like your subject the image is sharp and clear.
Jon
Aside from the overexposure, clipping off the little bit of rear bumper, the distracting people in the shot - especially the woman with her back to us - and the pointless signature, there are some good aspects to the shot. I just haven't found them yet.
Lets see lukie,
Kilted brought up some good points about this shot.
Your missing the tip of the rear bumper of the hard-to-catch "parked" car. Amazing you didn't have any motion blur!
You admitted, and know that you caught a hilarious reflection of a guy on the left, which reminds me of a fun house at a carnival.
Just not sure what you are trying to teach us or learn from by posting a snapshot like this...
A bit of controllable overexposure is present here too...more than just specular highlights. For photographing shiny subjects outside, I'd suggest lowering your ISO to 100 (or less if your camera allows) and/or lowering your light compensation a few stops.
Photoshop will let you bring back the necessary light to show the car and leave out all the overexposed spots. Maybe there is a way to get a better shot here...
Not much you can do to remove the people, except maybe to say, "hey, would you pose for me by the car?" Most people would walk away and understand that you'd like a second to photograph the car!
Are you trying to document the existence of a car?
That could eat up a lot of storage space if everyone did it.
No points for lack of effort here lukie....
