Hi HR, Have your comments on these two photos.

Hi HR, Have your comments on these two photos

I would pick the second one, not because of the ratio, because it has less distracting elements.

I would have liked to place the subject a little low and to the left... (or better to the right if possible)... and make the curved structure and the lines hanging the subject lead the viewer's eyes to the subject...

Basically a different angle... with a static subject we have the luxury of having the time to get different angles and also wait till there are no distractions...

BTW, nice photo...

Great. I did not notice that much details. I noticed those additional details only when you pointed out. I appreciate. It is a new learning to me. Canon is offering free Photography training sessions, and wish to join. All these vehicles are maintained properly, and very glossy. The expo was all in-house, not in make shift tents. So the lighting, and vehicle shining together makes photography difficult.

You should. There are also a lot of material available on the net.

You have done a great job considering odds. Great photos.

Thanks HR. Two pictures clubbed to form one complete picture. Actually this garland can be viewed from ground, first, and second floors. All the three views are distinct. Difficult to grab the whole in one frame. Any suggestions.


Let us recall 2014 Mercedes Benz ML 350 (item no.13).
A simple door handle, packed with bio-metric security features. A small square cut on the handle is a finger print reader. It reads the programmed finger impression of the owner. Without turning key, or remote activated, the door opens with finger print scan.

Instead of 2 images try 3 images in landscape mode from the middle point - first floor. Meter on one/middle frame, note down the values and set the camera to manual mode and dial in the values then take the pictures. That way you can eliminate the exposure difference that you see on your 2 images

By taking in landscape mode, you will have a wide area which will be useful while skewing the top and bottom images to get the line/image angle aligned and then finally crop the image.

Just my thoughts...

Mitsubishi Outlander 2014

Outlander is good vehicle. Outlander take advantage of limitless entertainment with the available Rockford Fosgate® Premium Sound System. Outlander packs a serious punch in the sound department with 9 speakers and integrated 10-inch subwoofer pounding out 710 watts of crystal-clear sound enjoyment.
