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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
