This is one of the best set of car images i have seen so far here :thumbsup:

You oughtta tell people you shot these with a Canon 5D Mark III and expensive L-glass. That would sound more believable.

"Ya done good!"

 

[Designer]

You could teach the car class. Well done!

Nice work, especially when the gear is taken into account.

I'd suggest a bit more light for the bottom (like, around the bumper) of the car in the first. The fall off is a little steep for my liking.

a few day shots with the olympus, this was at a large car meet in a parking structure, cars were parked everywhere, and there was a huge crowd, it was ha to get shots off, and I had no control
over how the cars were parked, so in these type of settings it is hard to get good images, as opposed to a more personal setting where I can control how the car is parked for better composing.

there is a uniqueness to shooting in the darkness, and it is tons of fun......

is there a lot of post editing to make these shots look spectacular?

I spend about 3 - 5 minutes in photoshop, resizing, noise reduction if needed, add some contrast and maybe sharpening, and thats it.

Number 2 in the second shot really blends with the background! Amazing!

That's a little misleading since that camera was $500 new. However, very nice shots! What did you light the car with?

4 is my fav.

I bought this clunker from Cameta for $129, I think it's 4 years old by now, a 12 megapixel jalopy...


I lit the car with a simple $2.99 led flashlight.
