Great job.

what was your lighting set up?

[Mark1]

It is great of her, but not so of the car. It is to far out of focus. I might have taken one as you did, then another of the car then blended them. The car is a bit too OOF to really get the idea across. (I see her, a remote, and something I think is a car. Possably an SRT4) Another thought is turn around the keys so the key is seen instead of the remote. The remote is not recognizable to non Nissan owners so it could go to any car. But when the Key has Nissan readable it ties into the car, if you can recognize the car.

Love the idea, just has a few things that keep it from being great.

Need just a bit more light on the car and a little more DOF. Its very hard to tell what kind of car it is.

[danlee1]

Thanks for the comment folks! The 2nd pic in the set has much more DOF.

Here it is:

Some great shots there, love the lighting.
The shot with her legs out the passenger door is great :)
Almost should be in the Glamour thread!

[Peter Camyre]

I agree with the above. The shot with just her legs and the car is awesome. But the entire series is great. With a car & girl like that, I'm surprised you have any time left for photography! (just kidding of course):cool:

great freakn shoot

[philodelphi]

Awesome!! I thought the car being oof was very cool, btw.

[danlee1]

Thanks for the commment folks!

Damn Rican, sorry, I missed your question earlier: I have 2 strobes to camera right. The one on her was shot through an umbrella to diffuse the light. The one on the car was zoomed (bare) onto the car....


philodelphi, thanks for your compliment, that was the idea...to have the car not be the focus but more of a backdrop...needless to say...it was hard to concentrate on the car :)


I have a few more ideas but they're going to take some work...stay tuned

[PhotosGuy]

I thought the car being oof was very cool, btw. It is, but it doesn't "say" the same thing as the 2nd shot.

[mchong75]

I love it. Great job

[bizkit642]

Nice job

[yeow_Z]

everything is awesome, car, model, lighting, and idea. you have everything. lol. well done

[danlee1]

Appreciate all the comments....the constructive criticism is very helpful. I have a few more ideas...which we'll prob shoot soon...perhaps in the same outfit as a continuation of the series...or maybe in something else. Suggestions?

[yeow_Z]

why show her face and more details of the car?

[Pana]

I love both I like the focus on the keys in the first and I love the concept in the second....focusing on your lady's curves......parallel to the Fairlady curvy design

[anthonyi]

Very nice.
