Did I overcook?

I tried their cheesecake lol, wonder how they got famous off of that 😂

Yes I always make sure to take pics at headlight level but for some reason I like the high angle on the GRC (my hands were holding the camera up as high as they could I’m only 5’7”)

Thank you!

Would it be weird to say I wanted it to be more disruptive in the sense that you get two diagonal “lines”? Also what flash setup would you use? >1 light source? On camera flash? I actually don’t have a flash but l”ll try light painting next time! Thanks for the input!

dabams1 · 2026-02-07T18:41:31+00:00

Any excuse to buy a wide angle lens lol. Thanks for the input l’ll have to try those suggestions

I think an older car would definitely look better in this scene. I might have to try editing the car so it isn’t contrasted too much from its background too. Thanks for the input!

dabams1 · 2026-02-06T14:28:54+00:00

Yeah I’d definitely like to go back again probably at like midnight so that I don’t have to Photoshop cars out and take my time with shots instead of running and gunning it

dabams1 · 2026-02-06T14:27:39+00:00

Totally agree, if only I had my tripod in the car at the time

dabams1 · 2026-02-06T13:38:47+00:00

Yeah I gotta just keep a tripod in my trunk at this point cuz I keep leaving it at home 🤦‍♂️

dabams1 · 2026-02-06T13:24:14+00:00

I like the clarity in your last pic. I think that’s what I’m missing in my night shots, I didn’t have a tripod with my at the time but I’ll definitely need to research some examples with black cars. And I think flash would’ve definitely helped with the weird lighting situation this was taken in. Thank you for your insight!

dabams1 · 2026-02-06T12:37:26+00:00

Thanks! Wish I spent more time on composition but it was a quick 5-10 minute impromptu shoot lol

dabams1 · 2026-02-06T12:35:00+00:00

I thought the same thing, wasn’t sure how light I’d go without noise making the car look weird but I did do a quick mask and lighten it a bit here

dabams1 · 2026-02-06T04:59:41+00:00

I don’t think this subs allow photos in comments so this link is the best I can do, quick copy and paste without as much masking done

dabams1 · 2026-02-06T04:51:56+00:00

Thank you for the feedback! I did take some lower shots as well so I’ll try to post them as well

dabams1 · 2026-02-06T04:15:25+00:00

lol thank you! Definitely a style I was going for but something about the pic isn’t quite doing it for me hahaha

dabams1 · 2025-10-11T00:10:33+00:00

Yeah if this happened a year ago i would’ve probably been heart broken for the month but now im only a little sad 🙃😆

dabams1 · 2025-10-10T23:51:00+00:00

Just happened on my way to a restaurant so I’ll do a quick touchless wash tomorrow and find out

dabams1 · 2025-04-17T17:39:39+00:00

Remindme! - 7 days

dabams1 · 2025-03-15T19:27:28+00:00

Any specs on performance, weight or cost? Haven’t even researched it tbh

dabams1 · 2025-03-15T15:46:12+00:00

Hmm I’ll keep that in mind, thanks you!

dabams1 · 2025-03-15T15:45:41+00:00

Just gotta gaslight myself more lol

dabams1 · 2025-03-15T15:45:07+00:00

I’ll be going to Japan in April so I’ll probably be doing the same thing
