Arctic E91 - Shapes and Shadows

tctic · 02-07-2006, 01:56 AM

Very Nice Indeed. I actually like the angle approach that you took on the E91 even more than the E90. Or is it just because I personally like the Arctic Metallic more than the Alpine White?

6th shot = money shot.

Thanks lux. That is a classic look isn't it. Did you get my other reply about the AW photos? PM me if you'd like.

Could be - it's a beautiful color! I still favor the AW shots because the white on black makes the shapes a bit more abstract... but I do love Arctic. It was cool to have some unique 'wagon' angles to look at too.

Great shots... now I know what it's like to be near-sighted.

Seriously though, I like the shot looking up the back window - very architectural.

I had a Arktis during my test drive, driving back at the end of the day, with a yellow-orange sunshine (end of afternoon during winter) Yes there is some green color in the paint.

This color is alive

This one was basically the same. Thanks for the compliment!

Nice. I've got a D70 too. I had looked at the exif of the jpeg's but you mustce PSed them, since it's gone. Thinking of stepping up to a D200, since I've got over 11k pics taken on the D70 now.

The lighting you have is incredible. I only have a single SB-80 and a SB-60. You do real nice work. Can't believe I missed the other threads.

LEDZEP · 03-05-2006, 10:46 AM

Thanks Ini. I used to shoot semi-pro but don't anymore. So now it's harder to justify large investments in equipment and new bodies, but I need to stay compatible with my Nikkor lenses. So, I chose the D70 and it has been a nice digital body.

You're correct, I shot most of the above if not all as jpegs and then did some cropping and toning in PS before posting. I've started doing more shooting now in NEF format because it gives me a lot more quality and options. You should post some photos!

As far as lighting, I used studio strobes bounced off of umbrellas for these shots. They are not done with shoe mounted flash.

larryn · 03-05-2006, 11:22 AM

Whoops. I should have said SB600 and SB800. I use those mounted to cheapo tripods for some shots. I wish I could use those two in conjunction with the on-board flash for a cheap 3 light alternative.

I'll be sure to post some pics.

Just got back in from a quick Griots speed shine session. That stuff rocks, even though it's really to cold to do the full wax job.

There are cables you can use to sync the speedlights, and you could also use an optical slave shoe...

That is flattery indeed. Thanks. I'm not so sure I should be listed in that order, and there are some others here that have submitted some incredible work. Nim for example leaps to mind.
