Hey gang, got a new to me car recently and i want to take some nice photos of it, but i've never really shot cars. any of you here do it? is a CPL necessary?
what focal lengths are recommended, certain angles or views of the car, etc?
picrel, last photo i could find of trying to "shoot" a car, its ancient i sold my Contour in like 2011. I can't remember ever being happy with a car photo i took.

Can you learn to shoot with your non-preferred eyeball?

What is the difference between "wrong white balance" and color grading?

I'm not picking on this guy or trying to make a point about leaving analog colors untouched. But you can clearly see that him fixing the white balance of 800T ruined all the mood. On the other hand you can clearly see that picleft does not look like one of these insanely well colorgraded pics?

So what gives?

So I recently swapped from Sony to Nikon for the manual focus features and better weather sealing and I was looking for a 35mm AF lens to compliment my Voigtlander glass. I initially was looking at getting the Nikon 35mm F1.8 S but I found the images to be really flat and clinical in a way that was off putting. After reading some forums people were suggesting that the Nikon 35mm F1.4 had a much more interesting rendering and I was surprised to see that in addition to being faster it was also cheaper. The images had a lot more pop to them as well and I think the focus fall off looked nicer. I have not really found charts that useful for determining what lens I will like and usually I think digital's sharpness is a hindrance for many types of photography. I was considering getting the Nikon 105mm f2.5 but was hoping they would make a native Z mount one eventually. Are there any other lenses with unique rendering or other interesting characteristics that /p/ would recommend for Nikon Z adapted or otherwise?

Genuinely, is it an excuse to “be cognizant of the world” or something? It’s got the shell of an “art hobby” but it’s not so different from saying promoting is an art.
