First try at a little automotive photography

MCoupeInsanity · 12-23-2011, 11:11 PM

My brother in law has a lovely E92 that I've been meaning to shoot for a while. Still getting some technique issues straightened out, as I normally just shoot people. Today was a quick trial run. If this goes the way I expect it to (i.e., I will soon get awesome at it) I hope to provide bomb ass photography services to bimmerposters throughout SoCal.

Hope y'all like! This is take one of many.

Cool pic

Shot actually looks really grainy at this resolution. Not sure why. Full rez looks cleaner.

Diggin the effect on the lamp post. Nice work.

I think this is a better version of the shot... light's a little more even.

Nikon D700. This shot was fairly wide angle on a tripod, long exposure with multiple (6 or 7) flash pops using an Alien Bees AB800 strobe. I'm going to play with some other techniques over the next few days, may try compositing multiple exposures w/one flash each instead of one long one with multiple flashes.
