Ferrari F430 Scuderia, Lamborghini Gallardo, and Cherry

I met up with a couple friends to shoot these two beautiful cars downtown Chicago over the weekend. Cherry came out to take some pictures with the cars as well, even though it was freeeeeeeezing cold.

I'm still working on a lot of them, I took 700+ I think. I'll keep the thread updated with pics as I do them and maybe a MOD can move them to the first post as I add them?


















More soon... check my Flickr, Flickr: jeremycliff's Photostream and my website, The Mya Creative for more photos!

Great work overall, thanks for posting! I look forward to the rest.

Thanks a lot for going through and commenting each one! Thats the kind of stuff I'm looking for. I'll take you up on some of those ideas. Some are things that I thought about doing (cropping 11, or putting black bars top n bottom) and some are things I just forgot about doing (yellow line in 14) haha.

oh and for 7 i intentionally left the badge BW. It didnt stand out tht much cause its kind of washed out, and I really wanted to high light the wheel and brakes.

Thats for the post!

oh and i definitely need to start shooting in a f8 or above, or something. To get more in focus background. I ALWAY shoot low f-stop for some reason. i'll probably go re-shoot those some time soon.

Thanks for taking my comments to heart. I wonder if on 7 you could make the badge pop even tho it didn't seem to show up as well? I understand if you are trying to show off the wheels and brakes tho. In that case may I suggest a vignette to direct the viewer's eyes toward the brakes.

If you use a tripod, maybe you could crank up the aperature to get all of the car in focus then go wide open and selectively use the sharp car and the bokeh in one shot!

I like bokeh too but I would suggest against any sharpening filter if you have alot of OOF regions.
