2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 (OB-PHOTO)

[BlackMICA]

Had to share. Got this beast for a day and I gotta say I loved it. From the clean lines, to the 6.1L HEMI, this car wore its balls on it's sleeve. If I could afford the gas I'd get one in a second. Anyways, here are a few of my favs from the shoot.

Here's the link to the shoot (http://www.ob-photo.com/2008/08/automotive-photography/photoshoot-2008-dodge-challenger-srt8/)

Here's some behind the scenes (http://www.ob-photo.com/2008/08/automotive-photography/behind-the-lens-adding-black-skies-2008-dodge-challenger-srt8/)

Thanks man. Which photos were you referring to?

[Jim G]

That car looks seriously mean. Beautifully clean, too... Nice lines. Well shot.

You have amazing control of reflections in your shoots. I've noticed this with your Mazda and 350Z shots as well. This alone is something I've always struggled with!

Amazing shots! Did you use any filters for this shoot?

[aridan]

EXCELLENT work! Both on the photography side as well as the PP side! :cool:

We have one of these new Challengers here at work. One of my colleagues just picked one in red. I've already made him an offer to shoot it and he agreed. :), Now I need to find the time and location to do it :(

Very nice work, with the merge with the honeymoon sky, too. I'm wondering why you placed the horizon touching the roof, though?

[digitalapex]

First initial thought upon seeing those shots was. BAD ASS!!

Very nicely done.

Nice, you'll have fun shooting it. Looking forward to seeing it.

Just the way it turned out I guess. No particular reasoning there.

Just a polarizer on a few of the shots.

I would like to know how you merged the sky in those shots. It looks perfect. If you had links to any how-to articles that would be great.

Wow, sweet. I'd suggest reducing saturation on the front amber corner light, it is stealing the show from the red brake caliper. Very nice.

looking good

Unfortunately I don't at the moment but I'm working on a how-to right now. I'll post it up when I finish.

I like these

[DarioC]

fantastic merge!

great shots also

[Brennan.M]

last one looks the best IMO. I would watch the camera tilt though

[drkstang00]

Beautiful! Amazing work! :)

[jdawg]

some amazing shots and I like the angles.

[cstyker]

Really cool! Catalog worthy!

[BlackMICA]

Thanks everyone

[agphotography]

THAT LOOKS SO BADASS!

I think the term "wears its balls on its sleeve" just about sums this car up.
Awesome shots of a great re-creation of american muscle!

I would like to know how you merged the sky in those shots. This is a non-destructive way to do it. Just substitute the sky for the background:

That is a great merge. I love the PP, it's fitting with the menacing look of the car. Nice job.

[VincentPeete]

Amazing!!
