Title: Red mk1 golf
Post by: Winso on 05 May 2010, 22:47

Another day, another photoshoot...
Just got home after another evening shooting some sweet cars, not really looked at the other shots yet though I knew this one was a bit of a winner before it even came off the camera.
Well pleased with the result.

Shot with Canon 400d and Sigma 18-50 lense. 1 flash (cheapo ebay jobbie) fired with cheapo ebay triggers. 2 separate exposures blended in photoshop.

A few more from that evening. Can't wait to get another flash so I can stop messing about blending different shots in PS.

loving your work... although this particular car does look very 'red'

yes, yes, i know it IS a red car... but have you upped the saturation/levels or something as there doesn't seem to be much in the way of reflection in the paintwork  :undecided:

First one in the 2nd batch is the best. Great shot and the reflections on the paint look awesome. Good stuff fella.

Thanks guys!

Guy - I know what you mean. I've left saturation alone, main adjustments were WB and a tweak of levels and exposure as one (the one from behind) was a bit dark. I did clone out a few hot spots from the flash on the paintwork which probably gives the impression of a flatter more/over saturated red. Thanks for the feedback, all appreciated!

Ha ha, yeah the flash bouncing off the wheel arches. It's enough to define shape without being too much in my view.
