some pics from today's shoot

djdaizzy · Mar 19, 2005

Spent the afternoon to build up my portfolio and learn how to shoot car, I tell ya, shooting cars are totally different than shooting human portraits. More pics to come after I finish converting them from RAW to JPG. I'm normally not a big fan of tilted pictures, but I like this one.

Awesome shots mate.

how did you get the 'rounded' nature of the car? did you use a Fisheye lens at all? Shot #3 seems a tad underexposed...

A1 no doubt!!! You have the technical aspects nailed and no pesky reflections. The car has real character thanks to the photographer. My only question is; what do car photographers have against JEEPs'? I am a little bummed by the the tree growing out of the car in the first frame and the copyright text in the third shot.

I didn't use a fish eye lens, those are too extreme. I used a Canon 10-22mm lens for those pictures, I shot the pictures at 10mm, that's about 16mm in reality, that's how you get the rounded look

Thanks for the nice comments. I don't have anything against Jeeps, JW is my initial.
