We have a picture thread for a reason.

You probably won't get many comments besides, "lower your ride" like I told you in the last picture thread you had. Looks like a bare bones Max....no offense.

I'll comment, on the photography

I'll comment, but on the photography rather than the car(s).

In most of these, he has used the golden rule of car photography always used by the auto makers in marketing. Never take a picture of the car from above the door handles in height. If you photograph from above the door handle height, the car looks squat. At the door handle height or lower, and the car looks great.

Check the car industry photography - they seem to follow this rule regularly. Maybe everyone can take a tip from them.

I get that you're into your car. We all have a thing for our respective rides, even if it's a stock 5.0 GLE with scraped up bumper skins. Regardless, there's something about the Maxima that we all get. VQPOWER is right... you're going to want to do photo-threads elsewhere. Or get a thick skin, because sometimes the responses can get brutal.

That said, you've got a good eye for perspective, and the photographic quality of those pictures is excellent. But not here, and paint your bumpers.

Your car has that initial 'freshness' (the way an artist looks at a canvas and decides which way he's going to go with his painting)

You seem to like taking pics of your ride (we all do in some form or other lol) You should post many of them in here:

http://forums.maxima.org/5th-generat...ting-here.html

However, if you want to get ideas/comments you should post your pics in your photo album (in your profile) and bounce different ideas off of fellow members b/c comments aren't allowed in the picture thread.

And welcome to the Gold Club BTW

You guys are brutal!
Car is clean. Now just touch up the bumpers I think I would go with some smoked side makers because you already have the tint windows. Throw a spoiler on the back and maybe get a sunroof deflector if you have a sunroof and some mud guards and you'll be good to go.
Oh ya, first save up some money!

Mike, i agree with the others you do have somework to do to get it going. You have the rims, tint and so forth so just some more cosmetic mods. Anyways ill get into the pics like labra said. Yuo always want to take the picture with the sun at your back and on the side the car. not the side that is on the opposite side of the sun. The last three pics would be nice pics but i see some harsh shadows. Try another shoot with the same angles but angle the car so the sun is at your back with these pics and turn on your flash. Force the flash to work at all times not just at night. This will redistribute the light so paint doesnt seem drowned out or getting sun flashes on the windshield. Read this and then go take some photographs, not snapshots. http://www.cobracountry.com/fototips/home.html
Oh one more thing, move them away from the trees so it doesnt look like a spider wed on your car and download paint.net and you can fool around with tints and contrast and such to personalize your photos. GL
