Photoshoot today - exotic cars...

[GFWilliams]

Well we realised that we had no way near enough time with the number of cars, but hopefully I've done the cars some justice!






















Well, it was a fun afternoon

I think you should invite me along next time because... erm... er... ah yea you might need medical cover because looking at all that car porn might cause palpations and so erm... i should be there next time.... yes.


On a more serious note, great photo's mate, really nice!

Wow you put a rig on a Zonda and an Enzo! Was it a pro rig or a DIY one?

It's a proper one - I'm not THAT brave

[Arnold The Bat]

I thought as much, my rig's pretty solid but I'd be terrified to mount it on anything like that. Rigging a mates brand new Focus RS was bad enough! Sorry to be a photography nerd but have you got any shots of the rig or maybe post up the unedited shots?

First time I've ever posted up a 'behind the scenes':

Wow, nice shots.
Looks to have been a good day.

Stunning pics! It must be nigh on impossible to put up a rig without having to do some editing afterwards...do you use 'Shop? Are there any tips and tricks?

Yeah, using photoshop.

The best tips I can give are to be careful where putting the rig. Try no to do it where there will be a massive shadow (like in the behind the scenes shot. Luckily the sun went in for a few minutes, making the shot possible. If not, I would have turned the car round..

ETA: here is a video of me editing a rig shot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZ2oUiAdVaU

Cheers George. I hope to have a crack it on vehicle motion at some point. First off I hope to try HDR at the Goodwood Breakfast Club tomorrow (weather permitting, else it's the old point-and-shoot!)

Please don't do HDR - it looks s***...

Try to make the photos look good by composing them interestingly

Great shots mate! I saw that ultima GTR on the m25 the other day (unless theres another with that sticker in that place) , an awsome machine.

I have recently bought an alfa 156 and cant wait to try my hand at some car photography with it(i pretty much soley do wildlife).

Cheers, James

Thanks it's much appreciated. I'm actually surprised it wasn't one that mounts to the underside of the car although I don't know how easy that would be on an Enzo or Zonda. I did think it would be a lot more substantial. That rig is not a lot different to mine the suction cups look the same as well as the clamps. The only difference is that I mount my camera on a magic arm.

Either way they are great shots. Good work.

Fair play! I've been playing around with creative compositions recently, so once the weather perks up and I can get to some more shows I hope to see some results!

Amazing pictures and loving the Photoshop tweaks!
