Even more Clios!!

Last night myself and a couple of mates went on another photoshoot, nothing too serious, just a bit of a laugh and to scout some good locations.

The main area we were messing about in was a multi-storey car park, mainly because the weather was awful, so if it rained (which it did often!) it didnt matter
And I wanted to try some of the cliché car park shots

Really like the motion shots and number 3. Like it's grungy look

Absolutley fantastic. Shame about that dude's different coloured wheels.

I take it these were shot using a rig?

sadly the photos are better than the cars :/

1, 2, 3 and 4 are fantastic. Very sharp and fantastic detail.

Good work

ps. I like your website, very clean and simple. Did you make it yourself?

Stunning work, no crits from me at all! I even like the silver cars wheels

Shadowness · 17 May 2009 at 09:25

Thanks for the comments, and Squirrel, yes I did make it myself (with a bit of help!)

Another lover of the motion shots here, but how do you do them

Nothing to do with your photography skills, but i personally hate the mix match wheels on the silver clio

Shadowness · 17 May 2009 at 09:45

LOL! Its ok, its not my car. They look better in the flesh. I feel they are kind off a marmite item on the car though!

The motion shots were done using a rig, basically something which attaches the camera to the car. Then both are moving at the same speed, so it appears like the background is moving

Oh i though you panned the images

These are NICE shots

, but i don't like clios

Any ideas on how much said rigs cost?

Nothing major (except for the rig shots obviously)

Removing nasty reflections etc from the car
Correcting colour tones on the car
Increasing the contrast a bit
Apply a few levels and curves here and there, where I feel appropriate.
Remove anything distracting from the background.

That's about it I think

I really like your lighting. Which flashes and triggers do you use? Do you use any light modifiers (umbrellas/softboxes etc...) or are they just bare strobes?

Shadowness · 19 May 2009 at 17:18

Thanks,

I use two Walimex 500W flashes, and some cheap ebay triggers!!

On this occasion, all were shot using bare flashes, not modifiers etc
