370Z, LP640, Bentley GTC... among others

Some shoots I've done the past few months:

Would love to get some feedback!

awesome shots! a lot of those look like they belong in a magazine

Nice work!

good shots, clean and simple.. You might want to take some crazy creative shots on those too, it would be awesome

love the 997 photos... the colour contrast works perfectly

So how do you generally light these photos?

Nice pics! I was really surprised to see that you used auto mode on a lot of them. Were the reflections on the door in the second picture of the Lamborghini shoot cloned? They look like the reflections I would expect if the door were closed.

Nice pics, the LP640 shots could use some simple cloning. Some of the reflections are distracting away from nice photos.

Thanks everyone!

To answer some of the questions:

Light - no lighting - all natural light in every shot. I don't yet have any lighting gear of my own...

Reflections on Lambo's door - yes - those were as shot - no cloning involved.

As for Auto mode - yeah, I'm still learning. I used to use Program mode a lot. But as of late, and you can see on some of the newer shoots like the 370Z - I'm well on my way to getting used to Manual

And yes - I'd love to do some more creative shots - but I sometimes have limited time with the cars to do anything above what is done. The 997 was a bit different as my father owns it... so it's a lot simpler when you can just steal the car for hours at a time

Be careful not to catch your own reflection in some of the shots. Love the lighting on a lot of them, but did notice at least one the the GTR shots have you and the tripod in the reflections.

Good start buddy!

I hope that did not come across as degrading or an insult, it was not my intention if it did. I was honestly surprised that they were that good using the little green box. Congrats on learning how to take more control, you will only improve from there.

haha - no problem at all!

That's weird that the EXIF showed Auto - can you help me find a photo this was in?

I can't recall the last time I used Auto - I do sometimes used Program mode which I guess is semi-auto

See the link in my Sig, Jesse.

What you're doing works well, without knowing how much PP you have to do after. This may help with fine tuning.
Need an exposure crutch?

IMO, that's as "good" as the green box when you're learning. Why?
