E90 x 2 + W210 Content Photoshoot

Amini77 · 01-13-2013, 03:52 PM

I know its super lame to have a photoshoot in a parking garage but there aren't many places to go here in the valley at 12 in the morning with lighting

So I just got Lightroom, borrowed my sister's D3000 and had to call up a couple friends to join me on a photoshoot. The guy with the Merc E320 is from MBJunkies and my other buddy with the stock E90 rarely goes on the forums lol maybe this'll get him more active. So here are the photos.. criticism is appreciated

I noticed they came out grainy..I hear its because the aperture wasn't set right

But let me know what you guys think!

The ISO was at 100 so that's the lowest setting, maybe a tripod will help.

Nice cars.

Pictures seem blurry/grainy, I'm no photo guy though... I find nice places and bust out the cell phone

Yea, I noticed :/ I figured out it was the ISO and the image size wasn't on a big enough setting, didn't really show until I uploaded them. I'm having another photoshoot this week with the same cars + 2 M3's and a couple japanese cars. Should come out better

wdeerfield · 01-14-2013, 07:37 AM

yea an iso of 100 in that lighting is too low. nice composition and pics though. i like the close up detail shots once you dial in the grainy.

What would be an appropriate ISO? Also flash doesn't work so well in this lighting either..everything comes out darker.

The Merc looks a bit euro trash for me (just IMO), your car looks great on the other hand.

I think it looks gangster lol it was handed down to him so what are you supposed to do with a grandma mobile? I give him props for that. There really isn't much you can do to a 01 w210. But thank you!

Hooy · 01-14-2013, 02:57 PM

I will be totally honest and say I don't like any of those cars. The xi has potential though

Haha I do flame him for it but it's such a bad ass car..
Yes they are, thanks! They're stock halos but LED bulbs from Ebay. One side just burnt out so I'm looking at Mtech V4's or Lux.
