Porsche 911 Shots

[Andy M]

My first 'proper' car shoot, and my first with the new car.

Will hopefully shoot a few more in the summer when I can get out earlier in the morning, as even at 6:30am Liverpool is pretty damn busy.

Some nice shots there. I like graffiti for backgrounds on car shoots.

I think that I like the first and last one best. First for simplicity, last because I like the finish achieved.

The black and white "fisheye" one would be nicer if the shape of the car wasn't distorted. And in the one where the car is parked between the two doors, I suppose the car could have been equi-distant from each & on the level?

Yes, any idea how this can be rectified? My PS knowledge is practically zero, and I've leant my Scott Kelby book to somebody who is even more clueless than I

Yeah, it should have been, but this was the last shot of the day, and more of a 'behind-the-scenes' shot to show where I was shooting. The building is actually on a slope, so I didn't know whether to try to straighten it and make the top of the building crooked, or leave it as it was. Laziness resulted in the latter

Should have taken an angle grinder to the parking restriction pole outside "The Other Place"!

The only 2 that don't do it for me are the 2 of the back of the car...this is because of the naf background.

Nice shots of a nice car

Martin.

Believe me - I was tempted! The parking sign not being there would have allowed for much more balanced shots.

Then, the next place I wanted to shoot - I really nice old door, with bags of character - the bloody builders had moved in and removed the sodding thing.

Thanks Martin

Very good!

Any chance of you centering the car, removing the distortion, and making sure the horizon is straight as well? :P

Love the B&W.

And you chose the right colour (Seal grey if I'm not mistaken).

Thanks Get, and seal grey it is

If you liked the B&W, here's another for you:




CY88 - excellent Thanks very much!

I like these, I think the second and last ones are crying out for an ND grad so that the sky isn't so blown out.
