The Legendary Nissan Skyline has quite the fan far in Japan, but few know about this car here in north america..

Nicely done...wish the back of the GTR was lit better.
And it is fairly well known in the US/Canada...just depends on whether you're into fast cars ;)

yep.. did you read this part?

it was a tricky shoot.. windy and cold.. and the sky was changing so fast i just got what i could and i wanted to get more lights out of my outback, but i couldn't , time was of essence.. so instead of messing around and getting all the lights, i settled with a 2 light set up..



i know from experience to get what i can, and not try to do the perfect shot because , if i would have gotten the last light out and set up, i would have lost the sky.. is it was a compromise at that point..

2-5 mins, the sky changes so fast and you know.. get what you can..

B800 as the main light... Used a 580 for the spot you see. It looks like 2 spots because the guitar was on a glass table and it reflected the 580. The smoke is from a tea candle -that I put out right before shooting - inside the guitar body.

I know it is not up to the standards on this board, but I hope you like.

I'm using FxIF plug-in for FF as well. Here's what mine says...

My Browser Setup:
FF Version: 3.6.13
FxIF version: 0.4.3


Are you sure you're all updated with FF and the plug-ins? It seems that yours is off, for whatever reason.
I dunno.. weird.

trust me, all up to date...he's talking about a different photo than was in question...see above...
