what did you use for lighting?

4 makes me think of Snoopy for some reason.

Good pics although the car doesn't do much for me

Dont' know why I can't stand that background,.. perhaps it limits the tonal range or is too warm.. anyway here is an edit I thought you might like. -Shea

great shots! I like the lighting as well, these would probably work better in black and white though since the color isn't super interesting, just an idea

Great edit LS3D

yeah I had similar thoughts about these as well with that background. Your edit is pretty sweet, thanks for that, how did you acheive it?

Either no lighting or a 430 and 580ex speedlite.

I did a pretty loose selection and then just hue shifted the metal wall.. I probably desaturated it a bit, working towards a subdued cool color common to that material and cooling the image.

I often clone the layer, run shadow/highlight, then reduce that layers opacity - merging down when I like the balance. I also used a few S - Curves to bring up the contrast without crushing the ends.

Finally I painted the vignette and adjusted it's layer value down to keep it simple and shapely.

I can set one up at full resolution if you like. -S

awesome shots.

my fav is def #10

good job

honestly, they look like shots you would see in an autotrader or on a dealers website.
with the exception of the ones with the drastic lighting (which i like) i think it would have been a little better to get more of the surroundings in the pictures.

Why more surrounding when the focus is on the car? plus there was only more metal wall and pavement anyway..
