Porsche 944 Turbo[edit]

Stock 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo

A high resolution and fairly sharp image of a Porsche 944 turbo. Taken with WP:CAR image conventions in mind, this image show the vehicle from a 3/4 view with background which does not distract. Any feedback would be appreciated before I nominate this image for FP. --Leivick (talk) 02:58, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • The background is good, which can be a major car photo problem. The reflection on the car body itself is relatively clean. Depth of field seems a bit narrow, with the rear of the car somewhat out of focus, Seems like a reasonable choice for aperture however so its only a minor issue. Exposure seems relatively good, with no clipped shadows and only blown highlights on the front wheel. The main issue I'd take with it is the car placement relative to the light source, it puts the whole front of the car in shadow. I'd suggest making an edit with lifted shadows and seeing how that goes. Noodle snacks (talk) 03:16, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I find that lifting the shadows makes the car look kinda grey any other ideas? I can see what you are saying about the shadow issues on the monitor I am using right now, but on the calibrated monitor I originally adjusted the image on, there was plenty of detail visible in the darker areas. --Leivick (talk) 08:54, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Aye, I don't have any trouble on my monitors seeing detail in the shadow areas, its more of an aesthetic choice. Ideally the photo would be retaken with the light at the right angle. Noodle snacks (talk) 10:13, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
