Assignment: Baby,You Can Drive My Car

Don't be bashful! If you want comments, give comments. You don't need to be an expert photographer to express your opinion about the work of others. You don't need to go into great depth. A simple remark about cropping, composition, color, subject matter, etc. can be of just as much help to a budding photographer as an in-depth critique.

Lighting is one of the most important and difficult parts of photography because it has such a huge impact on your final image. To practice what you have learned in this chapter, bring your camera outside and take a detail shot of an automobile. Perhaps there is a part in the engine bay you find intriguing, or maybe the car you choose to take a photo of has an intricate chip in the window. For this photo, use only natural lighting. You can, of course, use a diffuser, a reflector, or block out direct sunlight if you feel that makes your shot a better photo.
