Anyone here likes to do ''car spotting''

>>2875653
This sort of thing would probably be more suited to /o/. This board is for all types of photography, but it's about being creative/artistic in your approach, as well as technically pro-efficient, as opposed to just getting something interesting on camera.

Unless you actually posted for critique - in which case forget everything I just said.

>>2875653
If you're looking for cc then the motor madness thread will probably give you some if you ask nicely.

In terms of "liking" it, as with everything it's personal choice.

IMO, the few car spotter photographers on instagram I follow generally are pretty boring. When I'm at a circuit if I can see the wheels of a car at all I absolutely cannot freeze the wheels, or it'll look like the car is static. All the car spotter guys seem to have their cameras on modes that are fine for shots of static cars but not for moving ones and freeze the wheels/ruin the feeling of action and speed.

Move to a city where those cars are common, and you'll get over it quickly. I live about 3 miles down the street from a Lambo, Astin Martin, and McLaren dealerships. You just get used to it and eventually realize that they're just cars.

>>2875655
Carspotting has got is interest to be discussed in this board as you have a very short moment to grab your camera, choose your settings and get the shot

>>2875960
Great one

>>2876561
There is no creative process though. If you were taking pictures of cars and thinking about the entire picture instead of just the car which, of course, is the focus point.

Ayy

Thinking of photograpy as a strictly creative process is very reducing in my opinion. Photography has had many uses through the previous decades, and documenting is definitely one of them.

Also nothing in the sticky describes this board as an artistic one.

Although no matter what you shoot, every technical aspect of photography still applies in my opinion. If you spot the rarest car and produce a bad picture, you'll end up with a bad picture, period.

>>2876725
I'm the guy who made this post >>2875655

This board does state that we want pictures with thought put into them. That means thought outside of "I got a blurry picture of an Italian supercar on camera".

Car spotting is fine. Automotive photography is fine. I'm not trying to be a dick, but this board encourages quality, even if it's just documenting.
