AUTOMOTIVE - Your Car Photography

that looks good, I always have the hardest time getting the majority of the car in focus with my 50 1.8 haha

Just choke down the aperture

This is the Mazdaspeed 3


David's Black 350Z


This is MY 350Z

I swore I'd asked this before in another post but I can't find it. What is your setup for shooting these shots where the subject looks like a miniature???? Thnaks

 

[themedicine]

Let me google that for you
Its called tilt shift.

 

[NateWagner]

No, at least not on the last one. The 350z was taken on a P&S stopped all the way down (f/8). Any blur on that was done in post. If it were TS it would still have a strip in focus, which this doesn't have.

 

[themedicine]

haha, well, sorry, I wasn't trying to imply that your shots were tilt shift. but that is the most common description of what darton asked for. My bad!

 

[NateWagner]

Well, they weren't my shots, but...

1. does look more like an attempt at faking tilt shift,
2. looks more like a panning shot to me
3. not really either, just a somewhat poorly done attempt at separating the subject from the background.

The part I am confused about is what did Darton think made the images look miniature. I suppose there is the fact there is no wheel spin, other than that I'm not sure what gives Darton that impression.

Here is a snippet of my old work. Did all these with an olympus, looking forward to jumping back in this season with the 1d mkii

C&C welcomed. little PP on these no access to programs right now

Some drift photos:

And for good measure a poster I did for a buddy of mine, its hanging in his garage. Obviously a little photoshop with this one

On a side note: EvoG any chance your willing to share with me some of your post processing techniques. I love the feel and style of your photos and am interested how you achieved that "look"

Thanks!

Lurker got me started in it all so I tend to go towards his direction and path, slowly trying to take a different direction
