I don't know this gent but thought the story was pretty cool. He does a nice job talking about photographing the Aston Martin V8V: http://scottkelby.com/2013/shooting-details-shots-of-an-aston-martin/

 

I know nothing of photography and it has never interested me at all, but some of those photos, especially the close up headlight one, are killer!

 

Scott Kelby is quite well known in photography circles. He's written several books on Photoshop and is the President of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals, among other things.

 

Go read the article you linked to again and then also look at this thread:

Anything look familiar?

 

"Among other things" includes being the best-selling author of all technical book sales (not just photography) on Amazon for many years in a row. He's also a great guy.

 

Duh on me! Sorry I missed the first post and sorry I posted it again. He is fantastic.

 

^^^^ Umm. I'm not sure you're still getting it.

 

That's karlfranz and his babies!

 

Wow Karl, those are great pics and your car looks pristine. I love to watch a craftsman at work.

 

some cool pics. the shot of the rear is my favorite:

 

^^^^ Yeah, I like that one too. Scott was trying to go for a different look by making a slightly different angle and lighting than my version of the same shot:



On a technical note: We used two lights and composited 4 different exposures to make his shot. This was done so that different parts of the car were lit and also because his 4ftX1ft strip bank wasn't big enough to light the whole car at once. My shot (taken inside my garage at home) was taken with a single 7ftX1ft strip bank in a single exposure.
