^^^ My opinion is that I WANT that car. I love the infinity fx**. I was looking into buying one recently and selling off my truck.

Other than that, I think that the WB is maybe just a bit too cold for my taste. I'd love to see it somewhere between your final result and your set up shot's WB.

Thanks! Yah I was a little nervous going so cool but its kinda growing on me!

As for the car, it really is a fantastic car, its actually my moms haha, mine is much less photogenic!

It is quick, it puts its power down VERY well, and the sound is AMAZING, best stock exhaust systems out there!
p.s. only problem is its fuel economy, if you drive it the fun way that it deserves it is difficult to get much over 17mpg haha

yeah, the mpg is kind of what swayed me from it. I bought a toyota tundra instead because at that relative mpg (under 20) a truck is way more practical than the fx35.

I still look fondly whenever I drive past one on the road though!

true true, but yeah it is a great driving car, very very fast for a 3.5 liter V6! haha

It's all relative. It sounds like an AWD ricer to me. However, the final image is quite nice - I actually prefer the "setup" composition! The shadows are less over-powering in that one.

nah, it's no ricer.. it's an infinity, quality vehicles. And with a starting price of almost $45,000... it's got a price tag to match its legit power/style/quality.

I disagree. You don't buy Infiniti's. If you do - you're a fool. You lease Infinitis. I've seen G37 coupe leases for $299 a month with $2500 down. That's dirt cheap. Infiniti is the most subsidized :"luxury" car manufacturer on the planet. It's in quotes because they're glorified Nissans with lousy drive trains.

Like I said, all relative.

Working on my very small shooting space in the basement (it will be painted, and I'm going to move the book cases, so I can use a wider background). This setup image I took earlier (last week) of the room, so this is not how I lit the self portraits. For them I just had one strobe (gridded), high up. And the table was moved out of the road.

set up a mirror (or angle 2) behind your lcd.

I'm too near sighted to see that far... LOL!! I need the enlarged view, and even so, the Live View won't work with the strobes.

Tether it and use a large monitor.

Not a cheap fix, but if you have an iPad, get an eyefi card and use one of those cheap remotes. Or, like Gary said, tethering could be an option.

I did tether is guys, LOL!! still not easy, as the strobes doesn't allow Live View (or actually the opposite) – so I had to wait after every images. (I used a MacBook Pro 17", so the screen was big enough... just annoying to not see what I did and at the same time fire the strobes - if someone has a solution for that, I'd be grateful).
