yeah, this is kind of unrelated but for you experience photographers out there, would anyone be willing to make a car-photoshoot tutorial as a permanent, un-editable thread with tips like this? There is a small tutorial in the AV room but it isn't very comprehensive, especially for things like HDR which I would love to learn or even taking clear, sharp night pictures w/o too much glare. just an idea, but i think it would be super cool/helpful
It would be possible to make such a thread, but every now and then the tips/ hints would need to be preened and consolidated, so as to weed out useless info and to make the good items more visible. As for night photos, where are you shooting, ie, location, and what gear are you using? This will go a long way in allowing people to help you. Also, what is your experience level?
