A couple of car shots from last weekend

i like all of them apart from the last one :-p. reflections on some are a bit so so, but not that bad either. what time of day do you shoot at? it doesn't look like the golden hours. I'm sure PhotosGuy will post a link to the lighting thread soon enoth. Aswell as a polariser, consider an ND grad to control the skies too .

Here you go! Use low light to reduce shadow contrast & help the car to look it's best:
A few Car Lighting Tips

the last one can be toned down on brightness and I can see your reflection

Nice cars... I think you screw up the model poses tho

mind you what would I know, I've never had to put up with a model

they were shot over the course of the day, the red s15 was at about 1300hrs
and the last shot would have been about 1600hrs

it was the first time i have worked with a model, and i have got no idea on how to pose a model with a car, she was with the guy who owned the white silvia- and just wanted to be in a few shots.

oh, and the reflection in the sunglasses shot - i am going to have a play with photoshop and see if i can layer another shot into it
