Ferrari butchered by Sony A350

Boy, bad colors, no sharpness, useless IS and bad software; Sony has a lot
to learn.

But what do you think of the pics?

Nice car. Too bad about the terrible lighting conditions. Even shading
it with a bed sheet would have helped.

looks like a typical point and shoot quality camera picture.
composition is excellent so it makes up for the poor quality equipment.

Says you.
What, no exif data?

looks like a typical point and shoot quality camera picture.

Or, a "point and shoot" quality user.
To compensate for the high contrast between the top of the car and the
side, infill flash should have been used to fill the shadow and reduce
the contrast between side and top.
Set the camera to expose the rest of the scene correctly (eg ISO 100
1/100th f1:16) and the flash at -2EV to put some light in the shadows on
the car without washing them out completely.

composition is excellent so it makes up for the poor quality equipment.

We only have the word of the OP that the camera used to take these was
actually a Sony A350, the exif has been stripped and so there is no way
to confirm or disprove his(?) claims.

Except he's been posting here (dslr.systems) for a while, seems a
reasonable person - not a troll, and some of us tend to believe him.
EXIF proves nothing anyway - it's very easy to forge.

I don't understand your "no sharpness, useless IS" claim. First of all
to judge sharpness you would have to inspect the high resolution
originals, not some resized images.

Secondly, on such a bright day the exposure times must have been very
short, so IS will not have been used. So why are you complaing about IS?

As for the colours if you shoot RAW, the camera output does not matter.

And what do you mean with bad software?

the lighting is horrible. As if the owner spot-metered on the car. A
polariser filter and fill-flash would have helped. It looks like a user
error.

Apparently these were taken with a Nikon D300. Have a look at the bottom

I know one thing. Those wheels would look sweet on the old John Deere!

And trust me: it goes faster, but not more comfortable ;-)

Thanks.
That's all I wanted to know: how are the pictures, or better, the
composition.
Too bad other, better camera's don't have that tilting screen. It works
great for these low shots!
