I've been published......

[esprit87]

.....in EVO
The latest issue (Koenigsegg on the cover) on page 5 - the side view of the Koenigsegg CCR with the door open - that's my picture!

Granted, it's not one of my very best efforts and because it's cropped it has been enlarged too much in order to fit the page so sharpness suffers terribly. On the other hand, if EVO think it works, who am I to argue

Anyway, I'm well chuffed to have been published in the hallow pages of EVO!
Maybe I should go for the cover shot next time

Nice one.

Was the cover shot not from the same shoot as your pic, then?

[skiddo]

congratulations - can we see the pic?

[esprit87]

The cover image (and the pics for the article itself) was shot by one of their regulars. I believe they couldn't get all the shots they planned due to bad weather...

Magnificent!
Only on Pistonheads do we see the emergence of new talent worthy of national publcation. In no less than one of the best available automotive magazines on the shelves today.

As well as Mrs Fish and her fantastically creative calender designs, and many other stars waiting in the wings. I would not be surprised if we see the likes of David Bailey (Sir) contributing here soon with his first nervouse newbie post.

Wonder what he drives?

I'll see what I can do tonight (it's on a different computer). Stay tuned

Edited to add the image for those who haven't got the mag.

Ahhhh!!!

Gorgeous - simply wonderful. I love the way the horizon intersects the car at the midway-point perfectly - the clouds, lighting and exposure are all also astoundingly spot-on! And the two windows really help give depth to the car - fantastic!

OK, time to share the knowledge I think?

Equipment used?
Focal length?
Aperture / shutter?
Any filters?
Any PS adjustments?

Oh, and how on earth does one become privy to a Koenigsegg shoot!

Equipment used? Fuji S2 Pro with Tamron 28-75

Focal length? 28 mm

Aperture / shutter? f9, 1/350, ISO 200

Any filters? Neat Image

Any PS adjustments? The basics - curves and USM. There was a fence behind the car and also part of a building on the left which were removed. The sky was copied to a separate layer and adjusted to increase contrast and colour (blending mode - Multiply). A few stains on the tarmac in front of the car were also removed and the foreground was gradually darkened towards "the camera" to give some extra depth.

I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you
