Getting Skyscraper Gray on screen is always a disaster, and I think I failed this time. Any recommendation on how to fix this?

great photos - for better light, try sunset or sunrise, and have the light behind the car.

You need more lighting for that color. Car looks great but I don’t think you’re editing those photos much better if that’s what you’re asking.

That’s not stock, it’s lowered and has Advans on it. Haha Nice Advans though.

Not sure those wheels work

That is a beautiful setup! Love the Advans!

It’s kinda hard to get a balance between showing off the color and overexposure 😩

Need light for sure, but what camera are you using? I have found the pictures I take with my phone vs DSLR come out different. I feel the DSLR does a better job capturing the real color, on mine anyway.

Proper wheels. Love it.

what are you using for a camera, post process and do you have raw files ?

I’m not a pro photographer by any means, but your composition is a gray car with a gray sky on dark gray asphalt. Lacking contrast. You need stronger lighting and a different sky color for some pop. Perhaps park it on grass too.

Look at some of the shots in the official SSG thread that catch your eye. See if you can replicate the compositional elements.

Fujifilm XT-30, I used Photomator on my phone to process the photos. Yes I do have raw files

get yourself a gray card and white and black cards too. take a shot with them in the photo and use them to set your white and black points (for exposure) and use the gray card to set your white balance (for color accuracy). then you can copy those settings to your other photos using Lightroom or a similar program.

Not a fan of the wheels. That’s just me though.

Sounds like a plan. Thanks man
