Rogue86 Like all of your shots, this certinaly looks better without the chrome, although not sure I can strech to the apparent 480K asking price

Yeah exactly. I think it is a genuinely nice car but fortunately I'll never be in a position where I have to think about which car to sink half a million into! Nice to see the motoring press picked it up though:



Interesting reading the comments from the public!

Weather too miserable for anything other than gratuitous, arty beading shots:

Taken back in November. It is actually about 20 photo stitched together using a fixed focus for all 20 or so pictures. I can't remember the name of the method, brenheiser or something.

Walking back from a car show in Reading last summer, decided to practice my panning technique.

^Love that.

Updating my website and created a landing page shot out of two studio images after realising I'd shot two cars separately that were complimentary colours. I've taken the URL and business name off to post it here so hopefully the advertising ninjas don't get me! biggrin


Also been out with a DB11 so had a play around with some rig stuff.

The rig shot looks great.

You've got to be careful to do it in a location where the car could actually travel at speed though IMO, Otheriwise it can look a bit odd.

You often see them done in car parks etc which just looks un-natural with the car going in circles at warp speed!

Thanks! I agree with you to be honest, although a DB11 will hit 60mph in under 4secs so I reckon I could've got a similar result with a decent pan in that location in fairness...if the neighbours would have let us! biggrin

Agreed on this. We know it's virtual rig, right?

Rogue: I really like your style. If I ever obtain a car nice enough to warrant a photoshoot, I'm coming your way!

Alternatively, if you need a slightly less, erm, premium car for practising upon, I'm happy to provide FOC! wink
