I have been trying to get out and do more shooting...here are a few shots from last night...Nikon D2X and Tokina Pro 12-24/4 lens...tripod and 30 second exposure....I screwed up and forgot it was set at ISO 800, but it made them look kinda gritty.....

 

beautiful! john... keep up the good work: on the car and on the photography

 

how about an action shot too...

 

Picture *****...lol...Great pics

Byron

 

i like that action shot into the twisties

 

very nice...man makes me want to go and do some night shots. I have yet to crack the potential of my camera.

 

awesome shots...how did you take that action shot???

 

I have made a car camera rig that holds the camera about 6 feet away from the car depending on my configuration....so I set it up, focus, set the camera to take 1 shot every second, and then I drive....lol...that day my lens was acting up, wouldnt stop down past f/8.....so I couldnt get the shutter speeds I wanted, so I have to do that again.....its just a PITA to setup and then that road is about a 90 minute drive from where I live...about 30 minutes from my work....so I have to have the time to get out there....I am planning on doing it again, that was my first attempt....

 

Nice work John, love the post production work.

 

Thanks! but what post work? The first two are like that in camera...I just adjusted white balance.....that last one has some "additional" blur...but not much, still pretty much in camera....I am trying to get to your friend Ruji's level....he has some AMAZING shots.....

 

Yeah Ruji's work is unbelieveable.... That action shot of yours is pretty sweet!

 

Nice pics, black cars are so hard to photograph at night, especially yours with the black wheels. Try to have a bunch of light that reflects of your paint and you'll start to see more lines of the car in the shot.

 

thx guys...all you SoCal guys if you want to get some shots of your cars lemme know, I need other cars to practice on!

 

That's what I was actually referring to, I've seen a lot (A LOT) of images lately that really kill the original shot, best obvious alternative is right out of the box - the motion looks sincere. IMO.

Wynn's stuff has always been good and scarily enough, is getting better.

Check out this guy too, he's badass.
