Adam Barker Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · First Car Shots: Please Critique Hello All-- I post regularly in the landscape forum, but have never made it over this way. I just recently did a shoot of a Lamborghini Murcielago for a buddy who (believe it or not) is giving the car away to promote his charitable organization. I have a background in scenic and active lifestyle photography, but have never shot anything like this. I need some honest critique as I am curious as to what is lacking to the trained eye. Couple details about the shoot: location was Bonneville Salt Flats. No artificial lighting. I used a 30 inch reflector to bounce some light back on to the shaded side of the car (wish it had been just a bit bigger). The car had metallic paint, which changed color with different light--very cool. I am a huge user of Grad ND filters for my scenic work, and used them in a number of these images as well. Thanks for looking! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Nov 08, 2009 at 10:55 PM

Jeff M Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #3 · First Car Shots: Please Critique Very, very nice work....#2 looks a little hot mid car, but other then that....awesome. Been there numerous times, would love to shoot my 'vette there someday. Nov 09, 2009 at 12:14 AM

dubaiphil Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #4 · First Car Shots: Please Critique Loving them all apart from no 4. My red boxster's nose doesn't look that flabby! A bit too much distortion there methinks.... Nov 09, 2009 at 05:30 AM

LightShow Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #5 · First Car Shots: Please Critique I think your eye is fine, I agree with you that you may have needed a larger reflector, the shaded side in some shots are a bit uneven in their lighting. Nov 09, 2009 at 01:00 PM

tchan748 Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #7 · First Car Shots: Please Critique oh one question why do you keep the soft top up on the lambo but not the porsche? I think it will look much cooler with the top down! Nov 09, 2009 at 04:54 PM

Adam Barker Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #8 · First Car Shots: Please Critique Thanks all for the comments--I do appreciate it. Tchan--I agree with you that the Lambo would look killer with the top down, but those things are a serious PITA to take down and put back up. We just opted to keep it on for the sake of convenience.

doigal Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #9 · First Car Shots: Please Critique 1 - I normally really dont like the 'tilted' look to car shots but everything else works just so well that its a really fantastic shot. 6 - awesome as well, amazing colours and the head lights work well here! 5 - for some reason the cars look really small here, almost like RC models! Hope your mate is happy with them! Nov 09, 2009 at 08:55 PM

dubaiphil Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #11 · First Car Shots: Please Critique I think the fact that a handle and press of a button in the Porsche was much less of a challenge than a Post Doctorate in Scaffolding/Origami for the Lambo! Nov 10, 2009 at 10:36 AM
