No sir, the key is to work with what you got!

This last set was light painting, long exposure and then use a flashlight to illuminate the car. The challenge is that in dark lighting, the camera won't focus unless you put the flashlight on it. I need to get a diffuser to kill the reflection of the light off the car!



Thanh, I can't touch you...your shit is amazing.

Did you paint the valve stems?? Or were they done already?

I like what you were going for in 4068, but 4073 is my favorite as well.

Thanks!

Actually...and this might be as shock since they don't looks that small...

These are my S2000 Advan...which are 17 x 9 +45 with 10MM spacers. I figured I might as well check them out, take pictures to market them for sale...and enjoy the perfectly balanced tires on there. Staggered rides a little different, but soo smooth and the car looks lowwwwww.

beautiful car and well done photo skillz

I know i am way late to the party....

But what LED's or bulbs do you have in the stock fogs?
Also can you toss any good car photo tip out there i may have missed along the way.
Do you do much if any post processing and if so what do you use.

I have a nikon d7100 if this helps. Not sure if you shoot canon or nikon.

Thanks, man...I try and minimize my post...but I use lightroom4. Mostly just sharpen and mess with shadows and exposure.
I shoot D7000...so, your little brother before full frame.
Good tips?!?! Shoot in the morning or evening...full sun shots show what an ugly POS my car is!

The friggin yelling Africans got on my nervews!
Thanks man, yeah...something like that...I already have something in mind. You'll approve, I swear.






Shoot, forgot to take a picture but I also decided to change it up and put the counter sunk and weighted shift knob I had. I actually dig the change...much more comfortable to rest your hand on but I'm not sure about losing the leverage. Then again, I'm not power shifting or anything...so I shouldn't miss.
