This is a solar car from the university where I work that competed in a number of international competition last year and set a long distance driving record. Comments and critiques are much appreciated.

compelling image. The horizon is a little off. You might like to shoot in the morning or evening so that you could expose the car and the windows well; currently the car is underexposed. Well done.

Hi Timothy,

Thanks for your helpful advice. I really appreciate it. I wish I could shoot at another time of day, but I can't get to the building early enough or stay late enough to get better light. I was able to reprocess the shot, however, and I was able to squeeze a little more range out of the shot and I think it is a bit better exposed now. If I could bother you, I am not sure what you mean by the horizon being a little off. I aligned the horizon to the windows which also aligns the front of the car. Are you suggesting a different approach? Thanks again for your help. Here is the previous image:

A perfect example of what the future may have in hold for us. But wouldn't want to be riding in this thing on a four-lane during rush hour. Nice compostion and contrast.

Great shot,
Chad

Hi Kaden and Chad,

Thanks for your kind words. By the way the students who made this thing drove it around the whole circumference of Canada and the US, but I presume they had escorts to keep them from getting run over by a truck.

Best wishes,

Steve
