Sunset car shot

[castrol]

Not a lot of car enthusiasts on this board, but I thought I would share anyway.

It is a purdy nice sunset after all...

I'm a car enthusiast. Is that your SRT-4? Nice picture BTW, very professional IMO. And I'm loving the sunset.

It belongs to a friend of mine. Mine is silver.

Thanks for the compliment.

Nice shot, One off camera flash I assume?

 

[castrol]

Yeah, just one. My radio triggers STILL aren't here yet...

Car enthusiast here too . Nice shot, maybe a touch too much contrast - cant' see the detail in wheels.

Agreed. I would have liked to have had a couple of more speedlights for the
wheels, but I am still working with what I have got.

Black wheels = hard to shoot with detail when the sun is going down.

very true - excellent stuff from an on-camera flash though!

Oooo I really like this shot.

love it!

 

[castrol]

Figures... radio triggers showed up today. LOL. Time to do it again!!

I think the sunset reflection on the side of the car really makes this shot.

That flash works very well too, nice shot!

Thank you all. I appreciate the comments and constructive criticism. I don't
really fancy myself as a car photographer, but it is fun to do I guess. Here is
another picture from that same shoot that I liked.

Great first shot, I love the colors.

The second is ok, I wish the steering wheel was in focus as well.

Yeah, me too.... one of the things I am still lacking is a decent tripod since my
last one "disappeared." I was having to shoot with a pretty open aperture.
