Clayton G Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · Mazda Miata Shoot Well, I was cruising around in my dad's car and it was a nice day so I thought I'd stop for an impromptu shoot. Just got the tokina 12-24mm for Christmas so I was excited to try it out. I love shooting cars, but with my car in the garage under the knife I just haven't had the opportunity lately. Other shots are with a 50mm. Let me know what you think! 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) Dec 27, 2009 at 07:17 AM

Clayton G Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #2 · Mazda Miata Shoot No input anyone? I know this is only my second post but I was still hoping for some critique. Dec 28, 2009 at 07:23 PM

dizzy999s Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #3 · Mazda Miata Shoot The pictures look nice and sharp. The front plate is a distraction. #5 and #6 are your best ones. Dec 28, 2009 at 08:42 PM

Taoguy Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #4 · Mazda Miata Shoot I like #5 the best & #7 moved forward a little to omit the bldg. would be cleaner. The background on the balance a little too busy for me. Love the Miata! Bought one for my wife on our 25th anniversary, it's a 97, aging myself a bit, Product shots need as much attention on the background as the product itself. #5 the bldg works, the yellow stripes on the poles of the balance draw my eye to them too much.

fishboy Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #5 · Mazda Miata Shoot The MX-5 is my favourite car ever. Photo 5 works for me as it has the least distracting elements in the background. I shot similar images to 2, but with a longer focal length, which helped emphasise the vehicle. Dec 29, 2009 at 03:31 AM

Leoric Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #6 · Mazda Miata Shoot I think 5 is the best. Nice composition and PP. For the others, I don't like the background. I find it distracting. You should have moved the car away from the restaurant or whatever it is and have a more blurred background. Dec 29, 2009 at 08:12 AM

tom cardin Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #7 · Mazda Miata Shoot I like #5, also. I find tha blue pillers in #1, make the car look like it has Lamborgini type doors. Backgrounds make the image. Tom Dec 29, 2009 at 05:21 PM

Clayton G Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #8 · Mazda Miata Shoot Thanks for the input guys. Looks like I'm on the hunt again, maybe I'll try the blue building another time. What do you guys think of the processing? (Is it just me or the did the shots out of the tokina come out way more saturated than the 50mm?) Dec 29, 2009 at 07:37 PM

Leoric Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #9 · Mazda Miata Shoot As I said, I like the processing, especially on 5. As for the saturation, the tones are definitely different between the 50mm shots and the 12-24mm shots. but I see it as a white balance issue. The light seems to be different, hence the different tones. Another thing, did you use a polarizer with the Tokina? Dec 30, 2009 at 09:13 AM

White balance was on auto and I doubt it would change as the lighting was pretty similar and I was flopping back and forth between the lenses throughout the shoot. Found this interesting.

PhotoDim Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #11 · Mazda Miata Shoot Good images and angles. 5 is my favorite as well. Well done! Jan 01, 2010 at 05:30 PM

Jkan2001 Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #12 · Mazda Miata Shoot Very nice shots, like the background and the Tokina has great results. Technicaly that car is not a Miata anymore though, but a MX-5. Jan 02, 2010 at 01:12 AM

Clayton G Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #13 · Mazda Miata Shoot Thanks guys. Yes, you're right, this is an MX-5. Though it was stupid to drop the Miata name in my opinion. Jan 02, 2010 at 01:24 AM

nikt Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #14 · Mazda Miata Shoot Some of those are nice shots. Done at the right time of day too. Jan 02, 2010 at 03:47 AM
