Car's looking awesome, Antti Can't add much advice to photography - I'm just starting to learn it myself - but I hope this is the first of many of your attempts, if you know what I mean

 

Thanks Vlad! I guess I have to combine and share the beautiful fall colors we're having now and E60 before the snow comes .

 

Metering is the camera processing the available light from a specified area and then exposing the image accordingly.

Hey thanks a lot they are useful!

 

But when the snow comes, you'll be able to take pics of your black beauty on the white snow backdrop at night - imagine all the lighting possibilities and the gorgeous HDR shots that may come out of it? Heck, I think even I want some snow now

 

If I may make a small suggestion..... i have found when photographing in low light situations, I take 3 images by setting up my camera to take a multi exposure shot in RAW.

I go for around 2.5 stops under, correct and 2.5 stops over exposure. I then use PS and combine layers of certain parts so that the areas blown out can be substituted.

It gives you the ability to bring out natural colours and detail without having to really push/manipulate the photo exposures. It is quite simple to do and I can show you how if you are interested.

Here is an example of a night shot.....

They came out pretty good.

I tried night shots too. Not very good at it. I need some practice and better lighting source.

 

Canon DLSR's can do this automatically its called AEB. Nikon DSLR cameras can be set up to take up to 9 bracketed shots at different exposures.

Combining them is called HDR, I think someone else mentioned that earlier on in the thread.

 

Thanks!

I've tried doing HDR pics but I haven't got any good results yet. I have to learn to use the programs better.
