Last of the RX7's. Spirit R. (Specs (http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/car/1286/Mazda-RX-7-Spirit-R.html))
Impromptu shoot with a mate's Spirit R, thought I'd share and see what you guys have to say.... like it? hate it?
Needed to really get the rear window showing in the side profile shot. :cry:
'Brush strokes' in the front quarter view shot.

So pretty. Nice shots, some weird shadows on the last one at the door.

Really beautiful car, and some very nice shots.

Do you mind showing what you used to light paint with?

I used this

First time light painting and there's a few things I'll do differently next time ;)

[JhnRX7]

Any type of soft box or diffuser?

Oh and I almost forgot... Grreat shots!

The Spirit R is my dream car. I would have one in a heartbeat if we could get them in the states. I have a 94 FD.

You're welcome for shooting pictures of my new car ;)

I like it, though in both shots of 1 and 3 would I like to see more of the middle of the hood

Interesting shots! I think I'd take the gray wall out of the 1st one.

Thanks for the comments :)

I'll try that, I haven't had time to really start PP them, head on shot also needs to be straightened :o

I'll do middle hoods as well next time so there's a mix'n'match

Any type of soft box or diffuser? None at all, something I'll change for next shoot I reckon.

gorgeous pictures, i love that car so much, plus that being a spirit R makes it so much more beautiful! :oops:
