Evo X at rest

Some new things I decided to try today. C&C most welcome

Good pictures, i like the lighting. Man that car is really good looking, im a 100% Subaru guy, but wow, the Evo X is amazing looking.

Love these cars, Cant wait for their release in Australia.

Also last photo takes the cake for me, well done.

I really like these shots. Good stuff.

nice, i like the lighting on the last shot

It looks best in #3 to me, but the lighting doesn't look real.
RED cars:

Love the lighting, I wish my Mistubishi was that hot!

very nice, just a different location lol. Lighting looks awesome to me

Super lighting. Backdrop could be better but i'm sure you already know that.

Mind sharing your techniques?

The last one is excellent! Definately has an atmospheric feel to it. Nice one

thanks guys! the lighting is definitely real on all of them and especially #3. here is the breakdown:

#1 - a "mild" HDR. i dont like my HDR's to be extremely fake-looking. i like them simple.

#2 - is a 4-strobe shot. the worst was getting them all to fire with consistent power. the last strobe by the tail of the car was slightly off-key - you can see the slight shadow just aft of the fuel door near the rear bumper.

#3 - is a 3-strobe shot, and i took it with headlights+fogs on. thy were at 1/125 @ F/5 ISO 100. again all the EXIF is wrong due to the template i use for the watermark


thanks guys!

1 looks underexposed. ill agree with frank 3 has the best lighting. but also agree on the lighting not looking real or flush if that makes any sense.

thanks for all the comments guys!

nice color combo on the evo. nice shots

OK, so how would you compare your "real lighting" with these red cars?
