StyleBimma, thanks for making my car look good in the pic (5th from the bottom).

What lens and setting were you using? Any touch-up?

Thanks very much! and beautiful car btw!

I used a very standard setup when I took those photos. Canon 40D with 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS Lens. I find it's cheap (lens) and very easy to work with.

I shot in sports mode. Of course I prefer manual over anything for control benefits, but because of the conditions that day, I didn't want to constantly adjust my settings for every shot. All photos were edited in Photoshop. 20 - 40% feathering applied around each image. Some overlaying and very minor colour adjustments were also done - just enough to give each image that spot on look.

Perhaps I should ask you to snap some shots of my car with my new kit before I throw my winters on...

StyleBimma · 10-23-2012, 07:22 AM

sure

let me know when. I still hope to do a final fall shoot of mine before the winter too.

Oh wow that's a commute for you.

The only decent location that I can think of off the top of my head is the UofT Mississauga campus...I drove by the other night and there seems to be some nice buildings..
I guess it depends on what mood/setting you prefer?

just saw this and thought i'd give an idea.. i know lots of ppl go to the stacked parking lots at Square One on the top levels... especially at night you can get some good shots with the building lights in the back. like those new marilyn monroe buildings... also if you are thinking of near UTM. go to doulton drive... AMAZING houses there which might be a nice back drop for pics

I did the Square One thing and let me tell you the security cops/rent-a-cops are going to be a big PITA. The last time my friends and I were there, we were "banned" from entering the Square One lots for one day......

Yup dead serious...he said we had no business being at the lot after mall hours so he banned us for one full day....
