Recent Porsche studio shoot..

[finnyuk]

Recently did a shoot in a studio of a mates porsche so thought I would just put up a few images..

See what you think peeps..

I really like number four but i cant help feeling like you should have shown more of the light, the lights on those porsches are fantastic IMO

Looks good mate

Personally I like the detail shot of the interior guages. Do you have any at a slightly less oblique angle as I think that might work better

Well I think they are all rather fab. Could you post any lighting info or exif data on them?

Jeez your car is clean! Don't think mine's been that clean since it left the showroom!

I'm thinking that white isn't maybe the best colour background for such a light toned car...possibly.

Yeah no probs, it is all down to getting the lighting right in the studio. I have brightened the backgrounds to make them full white.

The car is set for F8 all over, be it the roof, the boot, the front wings.
The full car pictures are taken with these settings:

F-Stop: 10
ISO: 100
Speed: 1/125

The interior shot settings are:

F-Stop: 40/10
ISO: 100
Speed: 1/125

Hope this helps guys.

to be honest it wasnt that clean, as the guy who owned litterally just drove it straight in the studio without even cleaning it.

as for the white background, I did do some of other cars on a black background, but you can only shoot 3/4 shots.

In the first two shots, you've got the opposing side-window line showing just above the near front wing, & because they are very similar colour it looks like a bulge on the wing....

Right a few things (IMO of course)

1st 2 shots, the Porsche is a sports car and should be low, you can't see the bottom of the windscreen giving the impression of a taller car than it is.

I've never been a fan of funny angles, but horses for courses, some people like it.

3rd shot is quite nice, I'd have kept the wheel turned though .

4th shot, other than the angle I agree with 2jamesl it would look better with more of the light cluster in it.

5th shot I like, good composition, DOF is really nice, keeping the main dial completely in focus and the next dial along slightly out, but still readable. IMO this is the best shot of the lot. ( I think in this occasion (even though I said previously not a huge fan of it) a slanted shot would have worked as well, keeping the steering column out of shot)

Thanks for the comments chaps, these were the first ones I have edited from the 160 shots I took.

But some good points made and can use them for future experience.
