First photoshoot with new 600D - Arden Blue Astra VXR in a Tunnel

Hi all,

So I recently upgraded my 400D with kit lens to a 600D with Tamron 17-50 f2.8 and here is the first photoshoot since I got the kit. Really happy with how these came out and the client loved them:

#1

#7

I like #8 best. The tunnel is an interesting location, but the walls kill to many of the good highlights that it should have in the body.

And, sorry, but in the "Share" areas IMAGE POSTING RULES only allow 2 attachments by the OP per thread, OR 8 embedded (linked) images, OR a combination of both totaling 8 per thread. (Maximum 1024 pixels on any side.) You can always just post a link to more, though, or better yet, post a link to a gallery so we don't have to click on each image link.
Some exceptions are group threads, like "Show Me...", "Post your best...", equipment reviews, Tutorials, etc.
You may add a few additional photos if requested, but only in a reply to other member's post and request.

Apologies, I've now removed two images so there are only eight.

Not bad! Keep shooting!!

I like all of the second post shots.

Wow great shots! Are these all HDR? Did you use lightroom to post process?

You didn't have to remove them. "You can always just post a link to more, though,", remember? Any number of plain links are OK.

Nice work pal, #4, #5, #8 are my favourites.

Neat idea of including the owner in #1 too.

I really like your framing and angles, I feel like a bit more contrast and post processed added highlights to help separate the background a little from the subject would help. I did a quick edit to illustrate because your thing says image edit ok

Excellent shots, wish I could find locations like this around london......fleishelja​, thats an excellent edit, can you tell me the steps you did to make that photo pop like that?

Thanks for the comments all!

None of these were HDR, all were shot in RAW then used Lightroom to process them.

I did take one HDR, here it is:

Its ok, I removed two of the weaker photos so I'm only showing the best of the bunch.

Really like that, I'll have to go back and have a play with the images so more!

I really like the stance of your car. The drop is aesthetically pleasing. Your wheels aren't tucked up into your fenders (which I think looks stupid), but they're low enough that it doesn't look like a 4WD.

Form AND function. Nice job.

A great set in the only true Vxr colour

Great shots!..Watch out for reflections (im always making the error too) like in pic #1 you can see what looks like a Fiesta with a giant hitch
