Critiquing Your Car Photos: Vol. 6

If I didn't get to you, please be patient, I'm working on hopefully being able to turn these around faster and more frequent in the future. I hope you can still get value from seeing me evaluate other photos.
If you want to submit photos for a future installment:
- Please only send just a few jpgs, they don't need to be super high-resolution (e.g. not larger than ~3000 px wide)
- For simplicity, I’d prefer no zip files or WeTransfer links
- Tell me exactly how you want your name/handle to appear
- horizontal works better for this format than vertical
- If you want a license plate blurred, please do that before sending

Thanks for the great videos. CYCP is such a informative series and was really missing in the UA-cam photograhy space.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hey! Filipe Martins here. I've been eagerly waiting each and everyone of these videos!
Now that you mention the Abarth moving slightly to the left I can't unsee it... You're 100% right, would have been much cleaner.
The dutch angle shot of the Mini, I saw the problem, but couldn't get it how I wanted. I even took the "same" photo with a 50mm which solved the roof problem, but the composition wasn't as strong then.
And I won't even mention how hard I tried to get the reflection on the Audi Q5... It couldn't be done though sadly...
Hey Felipe, thanks for the added context on the photos! I love the Mini shot, I wouldn't worry about the roofline. It's not a fatal flaw, it doesn't jump out at all, I only noticed once I started looking closely.
Thank you for the review of my photos man. Certainly no harm meant by the post processing comment in my email. Im glad you took it lightly and had a laugh about it after all. 😅 Glad you enjoyed the photos as well!
The Viper shot in fact did get chosen as a finalist for Toyo's Shutterspace Photography Competition. One of my favorite shots to date. The wheels in the foreground were his drag radials. The car is regularly tracked and street legal with close to 1500HP. It was almost the story of two cars kinda.
The Alfa was actually photogrpahed at like 6pm. It was quite the endeavor to take down the ambient light and still provide enough light to the car (with strobe) and environment to make it look like it was taken at night!
Thank you again though! Really appreciate your time on these, and if nothing else, at least I made a memorable impression 🤣
thanks for sending, I loved the shots! Your email left an impression, but I knew what you meant. 😄
Thanks for the extra context and behind the scenes info, the Viper shot tells a great visual story. Keep up the great work!
Each time i catch a new bit of advice you hand out that i know i will benefit from. As always, enjoy all your work.
Thanks so much! I worry about repeating some of the same crit (CPL, vertical poles & distractions) over and over, so it's helpful to know I'm still offering new insights sometimes 😆
These videos are excellent. I recently got in to automotive photography and all of your videos are invaluable. Thanks!
it's fantastic to hear this, thank you Brandon 🙏
@@capturingthemachine I was reviewed in the V1 video, and asked for a Single picture of the cars I send in group photos.. So, I Wonder now that some others videos have been made is it a good time a send photos a second time?
@@tanner.quintero please do, as long as you're patient, your follow up submission is welcome and I look forward to seeing it
Thank you for taking the time to show my shots and give your thoughts, appreciate what you said and will definitely take those tips and put them to use moving forward. THis has been such a great series of videos showcasing some really incredible talent out there
Thanks so much for your submissions and for the kind words! 🙏
