Not the usual Photos seen here, but...

FattyMcJ · Feb 9, 2012

Just a few teaser shots from the shoot today. The gentleman hired me to shoot his car for a Readers Rides submission to Modified Magazine...hopefully it gets published! :mrgreen:

Usually I shoot portraits and weddings, but I'm a car-guy at heart, so this was like being a kid in a candy shop for me.

C&C always welcome, good or bad.

"not the usual photos seen here"

What do you mean? There are plenty of car shots here.

I really like the 1st one.

Hmm, must have missed them. At least on the first page of the "Pro Gallery" section lol

Anyway, here's a few more I just finished editing.

And a few "surreal" HDR's for fun, I doubt he'll use them for his submission.

7 Exposures blended in Photomatix Pro 4

The first lot are nicely done, but I expect the magazine readers want to see the car, not so much a photographic stunt. The last bunch are well done too, I like them all!

beautiful. really love the first shot. great angles. not keen on the HDR ones, look like outtakes from a video game.

Your photos are cool but his car is not all that. I do dig the blue rims though.

Like the first but hate the HDR, is the owner a pimp or drug dealer looks like something they would drive

lol HDR isn't for everyone. That's ok :lol:

As for the car, I like the car...sans the rims. It's just a different style, called "Hellaflush". Made popular in California shortly after the Fast & Furious movie craze. You see it a lot on the west coast, and in magazines. Not practical for Colorado, and even the owner admits that's why he bought an Audi A4 as his daily driver.

********DROOL******* Those rims are amazing. Nicely done

PapaMatt · Mar 8, 2012

Yes, Nice rims, and nice work although I am one of them who are not a fan of Heavy HDR

Good luck to you

Like the 3rd one. Would have been nice with just a bit more depth of field so the whole brand plate is in focus but still blurred the metal reflections
