Parkerman · Sep 1, 2008

The first and last would be my favorite's.. All of them are good though.

What was your lighting set up on the first one?

That7guy · Sep 1, 2008

Very cool, dude!

I like #5. The angle of the shot makes it look like the car is diving into a turn, even though it is sitting still.

Stranger · Sep 1, 2008

Im a big fan of #3 and #7! All excellent shots though. Something about the composition and tones of those two make it stand out for me though.

1 1500W strobe set to 1/4 on a huge 7ftX4.5ft soft box for main light on the broad side of the car. I let the light feather to spill onto the ceiling. Then I had 3 580EX's just outside the camera in a triangle around the exposed sides of the car at various power. :thumbup:

Nice lighting and contrast on #1. Cool series :thumbup:

wing352 · Sep 1, 2008

I really love the lighting in #1. Thanks for sharing.

Nein-reis · Sep 1, 2008

Thanks! Lighting a car is kind of simple. Its forgiving, and hard to get hot spots. Shadows under the car are the only enemy and impossible to avoid.

I like #4, 7 and 8. On the 2nd one I would have turned the BMW's front wheels the other way. Beautiful shots and cars!!!

Yeah, he was actually moving the car in to place in #2 for #3. I just happened to like the composition of the two cars so I snapped it. If I was setting up that photo it would be different. Glad you like them.
