great shots...though not digging the pixelated licence frame. Also (and this is coming from a guy who WISHES he took as good car shots as you do), I'm not feeling the white lines on it (just like the Porsche roof). I think it worked for the Ferrari, but not really diggin' it on this one. It makes it look like the car's had some ghetto airbrushing done or something...

the shot of the wing from the B-pillar back is wicked, though...nice use of DOF and great light on the wing...

I don't dig the license plate either, but this guy didn't want his plates in it, and we forgot to take off the rear plates. The front one is stuck on so we had no choice.

It's also an Elise, not an Exige. Exige's have a fixed hard roof, not a clip on canvas effort.

Lighting's good, some good detail shots in there. Quite like the ability to see the Bride on the seats too, either by design or not. Is the semi-matte effect in the paint on the highlights photoshop or has the paint been dulled down? Any of those Lotus machines are awesome things to photograph, great shapes and features, shame the guy's stuck a load of bolt-on tat to it, kinda goes against the whole point of what the car is.

Good stuff though.


Cheers, Dave.

More white spray paint for highlights, otherwise you have caught the shape of the car really well.

If your doing this professionally, I know someone in Melbourne with a new V8 M3 who might be interested in some photos.

You make very smooth images and have a nice style, but I don't like the way you light your images. Like said before, I've see white lines everywhere and it looks like the car got dents all over the place. The first picture is quite good, but the others look quite horrible.

Your composition and exposures are very good, don't get me wrong. Just use a flash in a softbox or do it like John Jovic, http://www.rigshots.co​m.au/cl_074.htm (external link)

Very nice.. love the lighting, the 2nd one at first glance the lighting looks a bit messy but i like it, looks artistic. Nicely done!
