Taking pics in garage...

[klassiekerrally]

I want to make more pictures in this parking garage.
What can I do to get the best results?

This is my first attempt...
My idea is to take pics of an Espada in here.
Hope it works, because the shape of that is much lower ofcourse...

thats exactly what I dried a week ago...

we had pictures taken in a garage...a few month ago?! Who remembers the thread?

Best pics I can remember were Magnus and his Yello Esprit, quick search gives up these

Trackdemon has also posted some great pics from underground garages if I recall, but as he's a slightly more prolific poster than Magnus who seems to average about 2 a year, I don't think I'll be able to find them.

Did some tweakin' after reading that Lotus Esprit thread...

This is just a test photo, but I'm glad I can experiment with it

I would try to avoid those yellow posters being in the background, or 'shop them out afterwards. The big blue arrow might be used to some effect though

Yep, also pay attention to the space markings on the floor and compose your image so that they lead you eye into the car and not out of the picture, you'll probably have to manhandle the car about a bit for that. If you can use the rows of pillars in a similar way that could be good too.

Those posters are everywhere: it's the garage of a supermarket.
I'll do some Photoshopping...
Thanks for the tips so far, they are very useful!

Nice truck Klassiekerally.
Defender TD5 if I guess correctly and modified for going where god intended only Landies should go

Whats the lump on the end of the front bumper, why does it looked jacked up at the back, and I hope that tow bar is removable or you have a tractor on your hands on occasions!

I like it too, but it's not mine unfortunaly, so I can't answer your questions...
Edited to say: I think the lump on the front bumper is part of the winch?

Latest effort, bit of extra Photoshopping done...

I shot these in a car park with 2 430ex flashes

I'm a big fan of car parks (I use one in particular)





Take care to try and find the best lit parts of the car park, but if possible be mindful of the background cleanliness and any unwanted reflections (a polarizer can help here). Tripod normally a must (although I didn't have one to hand when I did the Gallardo shots).

you can always ask them to shut off the lights and play around with lightbrushing
