Civic Type R

[poah]

quite pleased with the way these came out. most of my pics are wasted from this shoot due to a smear on the lens I never noticed

I was using two flashes set off with the ST-E2

I like the first and the last one a lot - nice use of lighting.

I like the 1st shot, 2 and 3 don't really show the car at it's best.

The first one is great, the other two look almost CGI, the badge looks too clear and perfect. Not a bad thing just unusual?

You didn't (apart from the lighting) do anything special to get the final effect did you?

(I mean I can see you moved towards an overall blue white balance, which I think is excellent mood for the subject....)

[poah]

yeah change white balance, removed some flash artifacts and darkend the background. nothing much realy

Ah! But "nothing much" can make all the difference! Nice work!

I'm just putting a calendar together, and it's some of the simple images with "nothing much" done that are going to look best!

Off topic slightly, but is that a standard front Honda badge for the Type R? I thought all Civics just has cut out silver H's rather than red backgrounds?

[poah]

not got a clue I just took the pics for a company

Only the Type R variant has the red emblem.

I much prefered the red H on my older civic R, the one in that picture looks like a comic relief nose!
