damn dude, that angle makes that jaguar look good...

[JetBlack]

It looks pretty sweet from any angle. It's one of the only cars that, to me, doesn't look crappy from some direction. It's raked forward, crouching over the front wheels, like it wants to run.

Classic Jaguar.

[Domesticated]

loser pics have to be taken in the time frame of the assignment. you fail. youve been posting those for a while now. but hey very shiny car!

[JetBlack]

No no, there's just still snow here. And some kids of oak trees lose their leaves in the Spring.

LOL, just noticed the snow in that one picture. :yikes!:

Go retake somewhere! Hurry you have 1 day.

did you change your wheels recently too? diff wheels in the pics

[Domesticated]

jet, i believe youve been had

[erik]

I would have to say miss_vtec has got this one in the bag. JetBlack, your entries were too old ;) But the clarity was awesome on them, and I did like them.

miss_vtec gets to create the next photo assignment thread for the first half of June.

Criticisms to miss_vtec, I would try playing in Manual mode. It is by far the best mode to use when shooting still photography. I learned it through purchasing an old manual focus lens (yeah, one that doesn't auto-focus by itself) It's amazing how learning with a manual lens makes using the auto focus lenses much easier. It gives you a better grasp of exposure, aperture settings, etc.

Shooting in direct day light is a photographers worst nightmare, and makes it difficult to shoot. What I do is shoot a few under exposed and a few that come up normal looking on the screen of the camera.

I liked your idea of shooting the reflection off the glasses, very cool. When shooting be aware of the surroundings (trees, lines on the road, curbs, etc.)

Congrat's miss_vtec!

[JetBlack]

Yeah, she wins. Mine were taken with a ten year old 3.1MP point-n-shoot-n-curse-n-swear-n-vowtoneverbuyoneagain.

It's always taken great pics. Hint: try the "high speed" or "action" setting, if you are not using a tripod. It eliminates blur from hand wiggles.

[miss_vtec]

Yay! Thanks guys! I just got that camera so I'm still learning. Next time I'll go out and mess around with the manual settings.:thumbsup:
So.. when do I create the next assignment?

[erik]

Create it sometime today as it will be done by the 15th of June ;)

[JetBlack]

Lisa gave me back her Nikon D70 and I am supposed to be selling it on eBay. When I see some of these pics, I really want to play with it. If you see the reflections from my 3.1MP, imagine how they would have looked with a 10.0 or a 12.0?

[JetBlack]

I can't believe I forgot this one.

I know this assignment is over, but I thought I'd share this picture anyways.

You can see the reflection of the HONDA banner on the wall.
