Liquid F1 Team R27 Photoshoot

[ukaskew]

Me and Matt182 had a late afternoon jaunt around the Wiltshire countryside (and Industrial Estates) today in his Liquid Yellow R27. After shooting 4 silver cars over the past couple of months it was nice to have a bit of colour to work with...

Colour is an absolute b**ch to correctly photograph, was hoping for a cloudy afternoon but the sun kept popping out. Has quite a strange green hue to it in places when it catches the light, gave up trying to capture it as it just looked overexposed.

All I need now is nice colourful Vee, an R26, Trophy and this R27 at one shoot and I'd probably have the day of my life!

Steady is allowed when you've got solid suspension and are driving on roads that a 4x4 would have a rough time on

Indeed matey, i think most people are realising that times are changing...

Why??

This one and the last one have been shopped, the rest are 100% original. All I did was draw a circle around the car, invert it then de-saturate...that takes the colour out of the background nicely and puts emphasis on the Liquid-goodness

 

[ukaskew]

superb photography, are you using lenses?

Yup, all pics with the 6mp Nikon D50, wide-angle/distorted stuff is with the Sigma 10-20, the nice sharp normal pics are with the 50mm 1.8. Not too expensive really, £300 for the D50, £300 for the 10-20 and £80 for the 50mm.

The 50mm is amazingly sharp, I shot handheld all day and the detail it brings out is stunning, this was taken handheld from about 25m away (and 6mp, remember) http://chrisharrison.smugmug.com/photos/196417088-O.jpg

Get that rear diffuser colour coded!!

That would look bloody awful imo!

 

[Gaz_]

Nice*























*i've always liked the 197's

 

[Graham Gooch]

Colour coded diffuser would look max chav.....

 

[Gaz_]

I think the R27's look spot on. The cars imo need the black light clusters(xenons?) they add something to the look imo. Yellow isnt for me, think red would be my choice, saying that i like the albi blue also

Well that was a comment from Lusty, Chris!

Here I thought you loved taking photos of Racing Blue???!?

Invite me along to your next shoot Chris. I spent the whole day sprucing up my car and it looks awesome, but then Matt's R27 does too.

On the track I do, they're easy to get right!

Will organise something in the future Dave, bit of a drive though isn't it?! I was thinking actually that if somebody wanted one 'done' we could park a car over out the way at the airfield and take a few snaps whilst the track is being set up, wouldn't take long and the location/background is pretty cool.
