Marika Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 Advise from a photographer: If your camera has a light meter built in and you can control the results, get up close to the car and meter from the car, ignoring the bright background. The background is exposed almost correctly (slightly over) while the car is underexposed and a lot of detail is missing. Try it!! You'll see, it works and I'll bet that car looks great. If you really want to make people safe drivers again then simply remove all the safety features from cars. No more seat belts, ABS brakes, traction control, air bags or stability control. No more anything. You'll see how quickly people will slow down and once again learn to drive like "normal" humans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AaronM Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Nice car!!! I hate the winter! I can only do WOT 25 percent of the time because of ice on the roads, haha! About the picture, do what Marika said. It helps a lot! Have fun and don't slide and crash into that huge snowbank, haha! 18 Year Old Male Black 1992 STS 4.9L 90,XXX Miles Flowmaster 80 series muffler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprucegoose Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Just got a new digital camera myself (Minolta Z2) so I thought I would add to the snow collection! The Goose, Tahoe, and Firebird were resting comfortably inside while my kids Pontiacs accumulated a nice coat of snow last Saturday! We ended up with about 12", and of couse my snowblower took a dive on me!! On the photography subject... I noticed the file size is huge on these pics that I was shooting at 4 megapixel setting. Is their any way to reduce that once you've shot them, other than reducing image size, cropping, etc? '09 Cadillac CTS-4 3.6 direct injection, 128 K mi.

Dasher Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Sprucegoose: Reducing the Size of the picture reduces the pixels. Some photo programs have a procedure for reducing the number of pixels without reducing the size. That makes them more suitable for sending in an e-mail and for posting as it cuts the transmission time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dasher Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 For Yenko: Another thing you can do in a situation like this is to set your flash so it is on whether the camera thinks it needs it or not. This will light up your car which is now in the shadows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sprucegoose Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Another snowy photo, the tired Jacobsen blower! I resized to 4x6 and reduced pixels to 72 per in. on this one in Microsoft Picture It! Photo V7.0 I never even used that till now. I had been sticking with the default Dell Image Expert, but that didn't have anything to reduce pixel count. Thanks again Dasher! '09 Cadillac CTS-4 3.6 direct injection, 128 K mi.

Is their any way to reduce that once you've shot them, other than reducing image size, cropping, etc? If all of you are running xp there is a great program that microsoft makes. Go to microsoft's website and search for xp powertoys. Download the picture resizer. What it does is, all you have to do it right click the pic and it will allow u to resize pictures very easily while keeping your original in tact.
