Re: Chopped Trucks

its poor background discipline in the photo, the hill behind it is running down to it. also the pole growing out of the hood and all the wires, and the wall colors. and the truck seems to be pointing downhill. terrible photo.

remember 3 steps to take better pictures:

1. get higher or lower: take even a small step stool and aim down, or lay on the ground and aim up.

2. background and foreground discipline: keep poles out of the subject, a 2d photo doesnt show depth as well as reality so it looks like they are growing out of the subject. choose an even backdrop, a brick wall, a pile of dirt, etc. clean the ground between you and the subject, watch for cracks or tracks or trash.

3. interesting angle: I am a big fan of the 45 degree/ corner shot where you get all the front/back and all of one side in the picture. pictures from the side only or front only arent very interesting. tilting the camera is even worse.
