2010 Dodge Challenger Shoot

[ScubaBrett22]

My buddy has a few nice American muscle cars and I was able to do a shoot and a rolling shoot on his Dodge Challenger SRT8 6.1L HEMI. The shoot came out great here are my shots from the shoot.

This is something debated by many but I tend to agree for most situations: don't photograph cars on grass.

The rolling shots are great though!

I usually don't but I had a group shoot and they wanted it in the grass it was a 2010 Dodge Charger R/T HEMI, 2010 Dodge Challenger SRT8 6.1L HEMI and a Green Chevy Camaro SS

The main reason was "cars don't drive on grass"

The B&W and the second moving shot are my favorite out of the group.

I think the 3/4 shot in the grass could have used a bit more shallow DoF so the back ground was much more blurred/less distracting.

For a shot like that you could also try turning the steering wheel so the wheel faces more towards the camera.

Good photos though. How'd you do the rolling shots? Back of a pick up? Do you have any of the other photos from the other two cars?

Okay thanks I can post the other two car shoots on here if you would like and I do the rolling shoots in the back trunk and side of my car I have a 2008 Ford Escape so I usually hand out of the back window or the liftgate.

Great cars and great shots! One thing to remember when shooting mobile subjects is its better to leave more room in front of the car than behind it. Makes it look like the car has somewhere to go in the photo, rather than leaving the frame. It does help.
