What part of that is so hard to understand.
Please people, think first before you comment. |
I was one of those people. If you look back at the photo, you'll see that you got a followup on that, explaining that many of the other shots, most, in fact, were taken without a flash. Your point seems to be "I wanted to take a picture of my car and there was no other way;" that's fine if you're taking out a for sale ad, but look at the picture; it's not a good one. The flash advice was well a meaning suggestion on how you might have improved your picture, and it's one I stand by. Take a longer exposure, or move the car somewhere with light, or find another subject - but recognize that you're being judged on the quality of your image, and nothing else, and you, and only you, have control over that.
