Haters can you guys try to be nice

[arian_ma]

Love the car minus the front plate...
It's kind of random and sticks out.

[EK 2.0]

this is gonna sound VERY Honda-Techish.

But lose the plate, and add some lips, and give it a drop haha...


But nonetheless great starting point on the pictures. What advice I can offer you is...try and take pics from different heights versus just more or less of an eye level. It makes shots very boring.


here are a few examples...

word
but otherwise looks good!

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

I agree with EK

I don't know much about taking pictures with cams but I always always taught with a vid cam to take at different angles to make it interesting, something you don't normally see in day-to-day life (diff angles)

Also try to follow the rule of thirds. Break it vertically and horizontally into thirds and place everything on the lines. This will usually end up in big empty spaces, or very little empty space, but I usually find it aesthetically appealing myself... Which is who I'm trying to please.

I think it looks beter with my little ghetto homemade plate it gives it a drop IMO :rofl:
I would like to get a lip but I'm to cheap!:banghead:
I'm just a high school student
can anyone tell that its a homemade CTR grill and the rims are fake?

[EFHatch]

I've got the same camera and i've had to take a lot of pictures on different settings to get what i wanted out of it. All in all a great camera if you got the time to adjust.

BTW pics look pretty decent, but i'd look for some better angles and locations. And play around with the apature a bit.

you want to take a picture from an angle that you would not normally see something at, thats the key.

just wondering what you mean by something not normally see:confused:

[EFHatch]

exactly, croutch down and see what it looks like.

i'll post a picture of what i mean but they are at home.

but the other pictures are great examples already :)

[403civic]

Yeah I would of tookin pictures like the ones snow_daniel has but my car was dirty and I didn't want everyone to see my dirty car
:angel:

[CivicTunr]

im pretty sure you car isnt a ek9.
IMO by the tails and headlights, and front bumper, it would be a 1996-1998, and i dont think they made civic type R's(ek9s) in 96-98. it would be a Ek4. (Honda guys correct me if im wrong, because ive always been curious if they did make type Rs in the 1st gen of eks)


yah try some diff angles like everyone says, i have a picture where its right on the ground, and pointing @ the car it zoomed on the rocks to make a cool picture.

[403civic]

No its like a EJ somthing
I would like it to be an EK-9:D

[Freestylin]

whoa mang.....so jay dee emmhh....

[403civic]

ahahah your funny^^:rofl:
anyone wanna sell me their Japan plate to me so I don't look like an idiot drving an EK-4 with a EK-9 plate on it?

They Do have civic Type R in 97 Civic Hatch...and 98 as well and they are EK9, EK4 is a Sir...
ofcause 99-00 had CTR too
CTR(EK9) never get into a left hand drive car so non of the civic hatch in canada or US are real EK9 civic type R
only can be EJ6 want to be EK9...

EJ6 is the something you are talking about and if you want a REAL EK9...don't stay in Canada :cry:
About the plate you can check out JDM tuners...they have some for sell
PM me if you want to know more thing about a civic hatch

[403civic]

Yeah JDM tuners has them but they are so far away

[WWJAI]

It's looks good but pretty stock imo. Makes me miss my civic hb though. Definitely needs to be lowered and like everyone else said..lose the front plate. I have a front lip for sale if you'd like..i'm selling it pretty cheap too.

[403civic]

^^^ all stock the only thing I have on it are the Nockoff rims and an Ebay SRI
I'm a full time student with a part time job
are you selling the mugen lip?

[gpomp]

what tires are those? they look like 75 profile tires on 14 inch slipstream knockoffs.

[403civic]

thats pretty damn close I think
All I can remeber is that they are falkens

[ZorroAMG]

Off topic but LMFAO at the random arrow on the back of the "spooned" civic.

Yeah like AMA wouldn't be able to locate a HUGE reddish tow hook sticking out the back of a yellow civic.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Teggy2nr]

here is some photo advice. try not to have the same colour in your backround as the object your shooting it takes away from it

Its JDM!!! or Maybe the AMA guy has bad eyesight

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

I love that arrow... It's wikkid haha

At least you haven't cut your springs to drop it.

[infected]

The plate location is pretty cool, it might look better with a Jap plate though.

Do it right or don't do it at all

so why do you have the fake front plate, ebay SRI, and knock off rims? lol :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[403civic]

lol:rofl:
My intake was 20 bucks (can't go wrong with that)
my plate is not fake it was custom made
and my rims, well I can aford Spoon rims

[riced]

BUT

the intake is 20 bucks, probably makes you lose rather than gain, is it mandrel bent?

according to everyone here though, you should lose the plate because it's not JDM and its "custom made"

if you can't rock the spoon, well thats cool. rock the rota instead lol

[403civic]

I'll be rocking soon
just not yet maybe when summer comes
And I can feel the difference when the intake was installed, I can shift later.
I was thiinking about maybe a HKDM plate :D

Maybe in your mind you knew it is a tow hook...

You can do the HKDM plate...there is not much out there and it is rare as well :thumbsup:

[ex1z7]

^ Cup holders to rest your drink on as you're pushing the car when it breaks down?

heh.. old ford joke..

And in terms of tips? Well, angle shots are a love/hate thing, I find if you angle the shot so it's level with something else that's actually angled as well (such as a ramp) or a little off level, it looks good - extreme angles look silly, to me anyways.

I'd suggest adjusting the "curves" of some of your photo's in photoshop if you have it, and anything that looks a little washed out colour wise tends to look better with some contrast adjustment..
