I took this picture awhile back of my girlfriend?s car. I took it on a crappy disposable camera she had. Well, she just got it developed and I was surprised at how well it turned out. I really wasn?t even paying attention to the background when I took it. It?s a crappy scan; the actual picture looks much better.

UPDATE:
I cleaned up the image a little and it really turned out well this time!



viola!




Edit:
DISCLAIMER: I suck as a photographer. I thought it was a neat picture. Thank you.!]

Thanks. :) She works for the Dept. of Defense. She makes about twice what I do. As for what I drive. . . I'm a little embarrassed. I guess I'll leave it at that.

then that case A+ for having a girl that doesn't care. Sounds very mature.

Unless it has lots of dents and/or rust, or major engine problems, or a blue oval on the front :p, there's no reason to be embarrassed about a car...

Crap. . . I guess I do have to be embarrassed then. No major problems, but it's a Ford. Does it count if I didn't actaully pay for it? :)

You have a car. Most people in my university dont. As long as you keep it clean and it is comfortable it's fine.

OK, forgot to include I SUCK AS A PHOTOGRAPHER. Damn.

He's a troll. Forget him.

Disposable cameras actually work pretty well in well lit/outdoors situations. Not bad. Next time though, remember the photography rule: imagine a tic-tac-toe board on your view finder when taking a photo and put your subject in one of the outer squares. Makes for a more interesting picture.

Thanks. I didn't think it would be critiqued so harshly. Hell, what was I thinking? This is ATOT!!
This was not my attempt at "good" photography; my gf just wanted me to take a few pictures of her car, since her photography truly sucks.
