Lexus IS240 Experimental C&C Please

ChrisLUM · 21st of July 2007 (Sat)

My friend wanted some shots of his car. I asked if we could use his backyard and just tried it out first. This is what I came up with. Let me know what you think or what I might have done differently in Setup, PP, or anything else. I've also included a few other shots that i took since we were there.

2.5L V6 204Hp RWD the higher model was out of his price range, or more like his parents price range.

good shots... i am particularly fond of #3 as the reflections are the least distracting yet there is still enough to help show off the curves a little bit. one suggestion would be to turn the wheels a little bit so that more of the rim is facing the camera. it doesn't seem like much but it will definitely give the photos less of a snap-shot feel to them

i also like #7... i'm not sure what it is about that picture but it really draws me in

I see where your coming from. I usually do turn the wheel on most of the cars I shoot. Don't know why I didn't do it this time. I was just so pumped to be able to use his back yard. Yeah I liked #7 also, I have an inspiration of trying to take something simple but yet plain and try to make something out of it. Still not sure if i'm good at it....

I like number 3 the best. He got the manual right?

Automatic Transmission just incase another family member needs to drive it.

I'm seeing way to much space to the left of the 1st one, & while they're OK, I'd like to see more sky & less tree reflected in the body.

thats a weird back yard. I like #2 the best but it could be a little tighter. the bridge in the back yard is a little gaudy and takes up a lot of room from the looks of it. I bet the yard is cool as hell for the younger kids that get to play there though.

What is an IS240?

disboifan · 22nd of July 2007 (Sun)

Oops, my mistake. Been doing that lately, overlooking spelling. Here is a link to the thread that shows the backyard.

i think you tweaked the levels on #2 a bit too much.. i'm often guilty of that myself though
