Car Photography

[Djreversal]

I just joined this forum the other day. I am on a few car ones but none for photography. I am fairly new to photography. I have been a sound designer for the past 10 years, doing a lot of music production and what not. My passions for video and photography recently started and I just love some of the results i have been getting lately. Just thought i'd post some car pics i did recently, HDR style skys with single image non hdr cars. Basically i just take my best shot of the car as a layer and work on the other sections separately HDR'd. Here are a few of my latest. First one is my new GT-R im building and the second is my buddies Porsche GT3RS

Welcome Awesome Pics Great Cars 2 of My Favorites! Dude you need to use 'Save for Web and Devices' so the pics maintain their quality and take very little space yours are hugeeeee!; so you can use the [ img] tags!

BTW not diggin the vinyl on the R35
Tell us about the 'build'

Some Strobist would really put the cherry on your pics!

excellent work! Good angles, lighting, background IMO. I wish had an eye for things like that.

Well My r35 is a replica of the Nismo GT1 Car.. Hence the vinyl wrap is copying it. Carbon wide front fenders, carbon trunk, active aeromotions wing.

AAM GT900r (GT3076) Turbine Upgrade
Fuel System
Haltech
Turbo Back Exhaust (Meisterchaft)
HKS EVC VI
Volk G2 20x11 inch wheels
R888 315 tires all around

At low boost (17psi) on pump gas car made 658 trq, and 645 whp. I have a set of cams, intercooler upgrade, oil and tranny cooler going in shortly, and we will be tuning it for 23 psi on pump gas. Hoping to get towards the 800whp barrier.

Yea the images are huge. I will work on save for web devices and shrinking them, funny thing is i did save for web devices at 50% original size lol.

I can't see the image right now, but I can't wait to check out your R35 with all those mods you listed.

As for shooting cars. I like www.carphototutorials.com very helpful site.

Now that's a serious Build I Noticed the GT1 Resemblance; Looks really good (except the vinyl lol not a fan of it); and you got some serious dough on and off it! lol
aren't you worried about those trannys breaking?
Are you into auto crossing or Drag cause I'd settle on the 645 for Autox how are those TOYOS been to you? nice grip?
What's the Offset on those Wheels?

Sorry for all the question...good luck on the build and hope you get to those 800 horses soon! keep me updated; you're the first guy i've met with an R35 That's not Stock!

The tranny is rock solid unless you use the launch control.. Thats the only time a tranny has ever broken. I will be doing both, im going to try and run the car at the 1/4 track just to see how she does.. Hoping to get a 9.99 or better on pump gas.

But february 22nd is Virginia Raceway GT-R Day... So thats what im heading to, for road racing / auto x...

Give you an idea how hard she pulls right now and how smooth the tranny is. Check out this video i did the other day.

Favorite pic, by far. All are pretty well-done although slightly over-done (makes it look almost like a video game in certain shots)
