Off road picture taking

[Alan06SUT]

I want to get some pointers on how to take better off roading pics. I cant seem to get a good perspective on steep inclines or side slopes. I ahve tries to get a tree or person in there with some success, but they never look as imposing as they actually are. Any good photographers out there?

make sure the lens cap is off.

glad I could help. :dancingbanana:

I love the "frog perspective". Takin' a pic from close to the ground, aimin' up. Got alot of nice pics like that. And, I also like to have some trees / part of bush kinda blockin' the view. Just my two cents
Check out my "off road" pics on www.hummertruckworld.com/Frenzy

Alan, you'll never get the perspective you want with a 2d camera. No one will get it.:shrug:

They will always look flat, that is the way 2D pics come out. As already mentioned pics from close to the ground often help emphasize angles/terrain etc, but they don't need to be. Also, some pics can look good without having anything extreme in, just nicely framed.

I like this pic, but it doesn't show anything special at all;

Again, nothing overly special, but the pic came out well;

Little V's and the like can add some interest to a pic;

Side perspectives can help in really shoiwng the exact nature of the obstacle;

Sometimes some interaction with people helps liven up an otherwise boring pic;

Othertimes showing more of the obstacle than is reuired helps in giveing the whole picture;

I didn't take any of the above pics, and the photographic quality of them may not be the highest, but I think they show what the vehicle was doing quite well, and will hopefully give you some ideas.

GREAT PHOTO CHOPPING:popcorn:
