This is sick. Index to get some gels lol.

Thanks, i've got the Honlphoto gels with speedstraps, always come in handy!

man that looks good for what seems like a shot taken mid day props

super rushed, only had a few min to try and shoot this. its got a satin/flat paint on it so I really wanted to see how it would do in photos. Hopefully I get to do a full legit shoot with it soon.

awesome shot, sic truck

How did you light the truck?
Good job.

forgot to ask that question

Bare AB800's (standard 7inch reflector)

took a few shots to get the light sorta even on it

Looks great. I really liked your skateboard shot too.

Only thing I wish was different with the truck was that it was a little more even. The center of the truck (near the window) seems a tiny bit hotter than the rest of the truck. Great nonetheless

^thanks

that part is actually a little hot, the truck was in the street and mostly in the shade but sun crept through the trees in that part. I lessened it but didn't get rid of it completely....prob. should have just cloned it away.

Looks great nonetheless. Went through your flickr good stuff!

haha, I was just lurking through and admiring yours aswell.

Forgive the lack of set-up shots but this was my first attempt and I didn't assume I'd walk away with any that I liked but turns out I did. Long way to go but hey, it's a start.

Set up was basically the same in both. Yongnuo 460ii 45 degrees camera left and right; about the bumbers respectively, and Canon 430 EXii center. Not sure of the power levels as I was using it as a learning experience so I was constantly moving them.
