Random Photos : Part 4

Essentially, the process of creating a commercial image is typically the same whether it's done through photography or 3D software. The idea with commercial automotive imagery is to blur the line between what is real and what isn't, while simultaneously making the car look as good as it possibly can. With that in mind, this image falls in line. As it happens, all elements of the image are real. In some cases, there might be 3D elements (which can be both subject and/or background). The retouching work that follows the initial stages is the same for either.
Intentionality I guess is a choice. My choice was that I had a rare, bright orange McLaren to myself for the day. I could either make it look like something that the other ten thousand budding photographers either side of me could make, or I could create something unique. Ultimately thats what keeps my mortgage paid.It's OK l know exactly what is meant by CAD rendering. I get from the rest of what you say that it was intentional. Wouldn't suit me but everybody's different.

I expect you put a lot of effort into that but it's ended up looking like a CAD rendering. Was that intentional?
I think you're misunderstanding what is meant by the term "CAD render" and that makes it difficult to explain to you in any great detail why there is a similarity to this image and what you associate as being computer-generated.Essentially, the process of creating a commercial image is typically the same whether it's done through photography or 3D software.

Some of the cleanest purest air in the world..
I thought they were using them when they had colds/fly/W.H.Y as a courtesy in an attempt to stop them spreading.Some of the cleanest purest air in the world..
That or perhaps for allergies that are only found out in the countryside?

Its a great marketing image for a sports car manufacturer. Would work in a glossy airline mag etc. Thats whats important from the product point of view. DavidY said:

I've seen enough CAD renderings of cars that exist only in a computer to not want to see that effect on a real one, but as I said earlier, everybody's different.
Quick and simple light-painted shot of my mates C30.

I used a strobe for this one.

First test shot with a hired Sigma 150-600mm Sport, shot at 600mm handheld (but braced against a wall) at 1/100th sec. Reasonably pleased with it. (eta. small crop)

I'm guessing you weren't alone when you took those photo's Eltawater? I can only imagine how many Beds & Herts tog's were jostling for position.
Be even worse when it takes off too.
Actually at 20.30 last night there were only a couple of us there with decent cameras and the others had wandered off by the time I'd arrived, advising me that I was too late and that the light was much better ten minutes ago.... There were only maybe about a dozen or so other people coming along after that to have a look as it as the vast majority had been there during the day with blazing sunshine overhead.Be even worse when it takes off too.
