540i

[mboldt]

Got together with a good friend of mine who has a modified BMW 540i shot for 8 hours, 12.0GB of photos, and had a good time!

Photos were shot with:

Nikon D300 w/ Grip
Nikon 18-70mm F3.5-4.5
Nikon 50mm F1.8
Bowens Lighting

Here are the first 3 shots I have processed so far from the evening:

I may post a few more up on request!

Let me know what you guys think! First time shooting a car in an actual staged situation with lighting and what not.

Thanks,

Mike

POST MORE PLEASE!!!!

THOSE LOOK SOOOOOOO GOOOD!!!!!

my personal fav is the 2nd one, cause you can see everything, including the drilled rotors.

Those look pretty good. My only critique would be the composition of #1. Not enough space infront of the car makes it look like it's driving off the photo and beware of things in the back ground that distract (ie: green street signs that aren't readable and really slanted backgrounds when your subject looks pretty straight.)

Otherwise, good job! Nice color, sharp and interesting enough to look at :thumbsup:

Thanks a lot for the constructive feedback! and thanks everyone else!

I think I am going to straighten the first one to the point where the back wall is flat with the top of the frame with a bit of space above it.

The car was parked facing the wall about 4-5ft from it, that's why I don't have any front room, I have a few different shots from that angle / position, so I'll take a look and see if any look better.


:)

I'll post a few more when I get the chance to process them, I don't have too many pictures of the back end, but I'll see what I can do!
