  • The Birds of Kalamazoo

    This is my final project for my photo class... You all get to see it first, all will be printed poster sized and presented as my final! Without my friends Dan and Brandon (both on this site) I wouldn't have been able to accomplish this. Thanks to those guys for their patients.

    1996 Red Trans Am = Dan
    1997 Red Trans Am w/ Ram Air Hood = Mine
    2002 Silver Trans Am = Brandon

    I love the pictures of the 2 on different levels! Is there anyway I can get the one with the silver and red birds in a wallpaper size? 1366x768 is my resolution.

                      Not bad shots there buddy. I like several of these, including #2, 5, 7, 9, and 10. However may I make some suggestions?

                      In number 7 and 9 I would go for a tighter crop to remove some of the random signs and such will distract the viewers attention from your subject. In #9 there is a lot going on in the right side of the photo that pull me away from the car. All the brush, the contrasting shadows on the pavement, and seem to lessen the presence of the car and pulls my focus to the right of the car with the difference in shadows. You are making good use of the 3/4 rule, you might have someone crop those items out in photoshop before you print if you choose for best result.

                      It appears that the lens you are using in shots #1, 2, and 4 may not be the ideal set up with your choice of backgrounds. The buildings and utility poles and such in the background appears to be leaning in most shots (I sure hope the building is not leaning in real life) this type of distortion is called Keystoning. This happens anytime you have barrel distortion or you use a background that features strong vertical angles.

                      You can correct this effect by using a tilt shift lens pre or post shooting in photoshop and I would recommend seeking out some help in this area either from a classmate or even someone on Mifbody who knows their way around photoshop.

                      Use these ideas if you choose. Just my opinion. Good luck on your project and thanks for sharing!
