Lol, you're giving away all my trade secrets now Jay! :rasp:
Hopefully we'll try a few more rig shots soon in more interesting locations, and I might even have my redesigned rig! (but I doubt it

I was thinking about taking my camera, but If I was going to take any photos they would be more 'snapshots' of the day, nothing like a proper photoshoot that I did in this thread.
PS: I assume you mean the Powerstation RR day?

Yeh no probs!
The more people who are willing to let me shoot their cars, the more practice I get, and hopefully the better I get too!
The only thing is, I really wouldnt want to do a massive shoot with loads of cars. Mainly because its a load of hassle, and also it can be quite boring for people when their car isnt doing anything. Obviously I wouldnt be shooting every car all the time, so theres a lot of waiting around, and faffing about between setting up the shots (as Im sure the guys from this shoot will tell you!)
But Im more than happy to do a lot of local stuff

Thanks AR, much appreciated!
The lighting setup was very similar for the static shots, I use two 500W flashes.
The shot with the two ph1s was a composite in photoshop, as I only have two flashes, I had to light each car separately, then merge them in photoshop.
The rig shot was done in the same way as in another thread Ive posted. The shot Jay posted shows my rig, on its shorter setting.
Post production is pretty simple really, I try to tidy the cars up as much as possible, this involves removing nasty reflections, scratches, flies stuck to the bumper.......anything. I would then adjust the levels to how I want the shot to look, and for the portrait shots I applied a neutral density filter in photoshop to get that dark moody sky.
Any other questions, feel free to ask

lol dan! Yeh Id be up for doing it again soon, ideally I'd like to have a bit more time in total so that I can take my time with each shot to make sure they are as good as I can get them
Oh, and I'll try to get my flash receivers fixed so we dont have 'that problem' next time, it was pissing me off as much as you lot!
I'd love to get some rig shots of your car, I'll try to think of some interesting locations for those shots. One location we could try is the multistory carpark. There would be a few advantages of doing it there, it's quiet, it doesnt matter if the weather's s**t, and I can control the lighting to a certain extent.
Remember when we did the first session and we tried to to rig shots, it was just too bright for it. In a carpark it would be much better.
Maybe we could go there one night, hows friday night for you?

Yeah, im free on friday night mate. Finish work at 12.10 pm so have a few hrs to give the car a once over!
Cool! The weather looks like its going to be crap, but if we go to the multistory then it wont matter
We can give the cars a quick rubdown there if we have to.What time do you reckon it will be REALLY quiet? I wouldnt mind trying the rig stuff while there is still a bit of daylight, and then again when its almost dark (outside).
What we could do is start with some rig stuff, then do some statics, then more rig action
Didnt you say you had a certain connection with someone at the multistory?
And I might have a trick up my sleeve for lighting the car when its dark for the rig shots, as obviously I couldnt use the flashes
What ya reckon?
Excellent pictures!!!!

I can't do Friday but if welcome some other time then I'd love to faff about doing this malarky!
R26
^^ That would be awesome! They would look insane when lit up well.
It would be great if we could do it on a day when I wouldnt have work the next day, as then I could do the photos the next day so you guys wouldnt have to wait ages!
Dave, did you do the photos in your avatar in the car pak we're on about, is it kingswalk?
