Pswirley · 11-11-2009, 05:32 AM

No. These are from tonight with the strobes that replaced the broken strobe.

i just fapped.

**UdubBadger** · 11-11-2009, 11:58 AM

nice shots! What was your lighting like for these?

lucky7 · 11-11-2009, 12:20 PM

very nice shots. i usually hate E46's and silver both equally. this car pulls both off together perfectly.

Hmmm they are a good start but you need to play with your lighting set up a bit more and really watch for reflection (in the headlights, etc). The lighting just looks very flat, almost no contrast on the body panels that you had the lights on.

lucky7 · 11-11-2009, 03:08 PM

editing could have something to do with looking flat. i know when i edit, my shots always look really flat.

Pswirley · 11-11-2009, 03:36 PM

The lost contrast is my fault.

I am still really learning the basics of photoshop. There was a ton of contrast almost to the point of overexposure but I used burn tool to make the shadows and highlights closer together.

Thanks for the feedback. I need someone who has used strobes to go out on a session with me and teach me something.

If you were closer I could help you, the best thing to do is just keep shooting and trying new things.

I took this before I ever even used strobes and just had flashes. I just went and messed around until I figured out to get the flashes well above the car and shoot down at the car

Pswirley · 11-11-2009, 08:04 PM

That is similar to what a lot of these were looking like, but I think I am so used to shooting ambient only that the hot spots freaked me out and I went crazy in PP. Thanks for the feedback, I don't comment much but I always enjoy your work on bf.c.

Really nice lighting. Made some clean and sharp shots.

I was moving around some of 3000 photobucket files that I have to get more organized as I am about to make a bit of a move up with my work.

Sorry guys. I will fix the links.
