This was my first time out trying a new setup, let me know what you think!

Im not really a huge e30 fan, but I want a poster of that first one. They look awesome.

[mad325is]

kinda makes them look fake... not that that is bad... its just weird... what was your setup?

[Ficarra]

I think you have a good setup to work with. Those look pretty killer for a first try.

What's the setup?

[SeanDub]

I think it looks great

[Travis C]

first shot is redic

[gumballer_80]

Agreed. First pic. is redic.

They do have an odd fake look to them. But they are some nice shots for sure.

Curious, anything straight out of cam?

That's what I was going for. ;)

The first picture of the Supra is straight from the camera, except for some desaturation on the fences.

WOW! You sure you took these :p

[Dr.AK]

Holy... those are awesome. :eek

[y0aimee]

i really like the pic in post #12. overall, great job!

[Reichy]

they look sic mate. i like the pic of last e30 the best. it looks awesome

[mojocoggo]

Thanks for the feedback, I do appreciate it. :)

[Gottalovethexi]

First pic is awesome, great overall coverage with the lighting. Second one not so much; the center of the car def needs some more lighting comparative to the front and rear.

The pic of the E30 is post #12 is pretty good, but that reflection is pretty distracting/unnatural. Did you use a big reflection panel or something? But the exposure of the car versus the sky is great.

[RD408]

Looks like the last pic you used a huge softbox?
Very nice either way!

[Bimmerteck]

To me having a huge reflection of what looks to be a softbox is no better than a reflection of the photographer. Either is unacceptable, Also the e30 shots seem very unbalanced, in the first pic the front of the car is a much darker than the rear. I probably would have changed the angle on the flash so as to not have the hotspot along the rear quarter. Otherwise they are great for a first set.

I think I've figured out how you're doing this.

Thanks for the feedback! No huge panel here, just one softbox and 3-6 exposures.

Thanks! I see what you mean about the shot being unbalanced. Red is a tricky color to work with because of those areas that will get washed out. Also, I didn't use any flashes for these pictures.
