Man these look awesome! Great pictures!

 

[Fletcher]

Great pics Dan

The Evo looks great too!

 

[Ian]

At this point I shall let out a long frustrated sigh. :dapprove: .. You're too good!

Love the moving shot locations and the static shots, great light, motion, colours etc. Abstract close-ups aren't really my thing, but that wheel shot works really well. :approve:

 

[Riad]

Wow There Awesome!

 

[Rob Clark]

good stuff, rig shots i presume for the moving ones !
Very impressive !

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Thanks for the comments

I know what you mean, I want to get a bit better at them, as they can look really good if you know what you're doing.

We were a bit restricted as to what angles we get the rig coming off the car, Ideally I would have liked a bit more head on shot, but there was nowhere to clamp the rig under the front of the car
Still, Im very with the country lane rig shots. We tried to pick the quietest lane possible with no traffic. We did have two cars try to pass us, it was quite amusing to see the drivers faces when they sore what we were doing lol!

 

[JD]

Nice pics as always Dan mate

 

[Feirny]

I hate you and your amazing skills. :dapprove:

Absolutely epic shots as per, your stuff always makes me want to go and shoot more cars.

 

[chris_p]

Excellent mate, those moving shots could be in evo magazine.

What setup are you using?

 

[Andy.]

FLOL @ still learning!
Your shots would put most pros to shame!!!
Loving your work as always.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Thanks again for the comments, much appreciated!

Excellent mate, those moving shots could be in evo magazine.

What setup are you using?

Well actually the owner had his camera there, and was taking photos of me, taking photos of his car lol!
So here's some out-take shots: (keep the abuse to a minimum please! )

And all this equipment transported in my van-spec clio!

 

[drhowser]

awesome pictures dude!

as said they would not be out of place in a magazine or mitsubishi brochure.
you always seem to get the background exactly right!

 

[Jay Payne]

New rig has taken those shots to another level mate. Fantastic results.

 

[planetx]

excellent as always mate.

I would really like to come out on a shoot with you sometime, I don't mind driving to you.
As of November I will be based in Salisbury, so not too far for me to drive up.

Thinking about getting myself a rig, but need to use it wisely as the shots look very " Samey".

 

[Revels]

Cracking shots.

Took pics of you playing with lights and looking at your camera, but none of the 15ft poles coming off the car!! lol..

 

[Ali]

love your pictures.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Thanks again all

Planetx - Sure thing mate. It's a deal as long as you can get me some killer locations!
Do you still have your V6? Maybe we can do a 'mess about' shoot. Nothing too serious, just play about and see what we can learn of each other?

Oh....and by then I might even have a new camera Im holding out for the new D3s (id it's going to be called that!) but if not, I'll get a D3 instead

I know what you mean about the 'samey' rig shots. Im still practising to use this new one, then hopefully I'll try and think of better uses for it.

Cracking shots.

Took pics of you playing with lights and looking at your camera, but none of the 15ft poles coming off the car!! lol..

I know lol! I thought he would of got one, but he was 'driving' in all the shots anyway.

 

[Jay Payne]

Number 1 and number 10, superb

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

^ Which do you prefer out of 1 and 10 though? I cant decide!

 

[cat171]

Fantastic pics !!

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Couple more shots:

Not sure about this one, I saw the yellow doors as we drove pass and thought it would either work or not. I think it's ok, I was worried the car would not stand out enough from the background, but I think it's just about ok

 

[planetx]

Its a deal.

I will have new cameras once I get back, these sand filled ones are staying here.

I have loads of contacts around Wiltshire - get us onto Upavon and Netheravon ( small helicopter Airbases)

Use some Tanks etc as backdrops....pretty much anywhere, all it needs is a phonecall.

Sure I can find a warehouse or 2.

Still have the Vee, got a mate with a Mint...and I mean Mint Subaru WR1 - which reminds me it is approaching 2010 Calendar time for most forums, WR1OC ( owners club) are always on the lookout.....so we could use that as a motivation to publicise some of your work.

I will PM you my mobile.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Sounds great!

Are you back in the UK yet? If so, let me know a good time to ring and I'll give you a bell

 

[Jay Payne]

^ Which do you prefer out of 1 and 10 though? I cant decide!

I prefer you to reply to my text messages

But number 1 is my fave

 

[planetx]

not back until the 1st Oct

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

lol soz Jay. I did reply, but it didnt send for some reason! Promise!

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Nice shots.

Anyone could have the same results with a iPhone and a broom handle.. maybe some gaffa-tape.. but good effort none the less


That yellow one might have worked better as a profile with the car between two pillars ? Camouflage/chameleon type of thing...

Cant wait to see photos of V6 and tanks'n'sheeeet...!!!!! :hail:

 

[Feirny]

I think you need to get Ukaskew involved too, then the shots would get me moist.

I can't wait to see the outcome of the next shoot!

 

[planetx]

have you checked the images from this guy?

He is the one responsible for the images of my car prior to me owning it......bloody talented when it comes to Automotive stuff.

Some of the cars he gets access to blow you away, and he started out just like you.

Perhaps we need to get your images printed up and go around to garages and approach them for the loan of a driver and car for the day.....

I am also trying to find an article from an american guy that started the whole "Rig" photography and "Boom" craze off - some of his helpful tips were good, silly little things like he used to fill the tyre treads with white chalk when doing motion shots, helps to show motion rather than a plain black tyre.

I guess you have been on here?..........http://www.blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/articles/37-kick-ass-rig-car-photography-shots

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

^Yeh Im very familiar with his work, I go on another forum and he's a regular too.

I think Im right in saying he does shoots for some supercar clubs in the UK!

I have thought about going round places asking for shoots, but I wanted to build up my 'portfolio' first, and get some better photos in there too.

 

[planetx]

Do you have much printed work in a portfolio?

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

To be honest....I havent got a single photo printed

I know it's shameful, but I've never had any reason to do it. Plus I think it goes back to what I said before about having a stronger portfolio before I do anything with it.

 

[planetx]

Don't doubt yourself is the first thing - your work is unique, your style is individual.

Once I get back we will sort out some prints for you, will print you off a load - you don't need stacks - 10 - 15 of your best for starters. Have a look for a decent leather case before you know you will be shooting your first Veyron...be positive.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

lol, Thanks for the support

I MIGHT be doing a shoot of a Nissan GTR at some point so if that goes well (or happens at all!) then that will help my portfolio too!

Speak to you after to get back

 

[Scutch]

Superb Dan

The Evo is in great condition, too!

 

[Tigger]

Cracking shots - still learning..... my arse! lol :rasp:

 

[Gaz.]

Awesome shots & awesome EVO.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Thanks again

Couple more:

This is different to the other shot in the set, I prefer this one as the wheels are a bit lighter, and its a tad sharper too

 

[Gaz.]

I really need a rig and to start playing with shots like that. I could make one but I'm lazy lol.
