Your rig work looks to have improved vastly. I think you might need to play around with the white balance though, the image looks just a tad too cold.

Ok whatever, heres the rest. This shoot was not something i consider to be "good" mostly due to the weather and time constraints due to another situation that took place.

This one was just for ****z and giggles

Ok whatever, heres the rest.

It was just a suggestion. Take it how you will. If you are happy with the shot then that's fine. I really do like the shots, the colour just seemed a little off to me that's all.

I do appreciate your suggestion Syntax error. The "ok whatever" was not supposed to be directed at your comment with a negative connotation. If i were to rephrase it, i can say "ok here are the rest of the pics"

As for the WB, it looks ok to me. I did all the editing on a mac so i dont know if thats a factor. Also, my monitor isnt exactly professionally calibrated.

haha okay. I probably got a little too defensive myself lol. Having a bad day at the office at the moment and I'm ready to tell a few of my work colleagues to go jump. I guess that's the funny thing about written word, it can make a huge difference on how you read it dependant on the mood you are in.

Uhhh winter doenst provide too much photo opportunities.

But i was bored and decided to snap a pic of a new pair of shoes i got yesterday

Mainly just messing around with the lighting. Subject wasnt too interesting

Wow, its been a long time since Ive visited the photo section of GTP. Might as well use the opportunity to revive my own thread.

Its been "relatively" warm over the weekend so i took the opportunity to venture outside of the house and did a few snaps for a friends car.

C&C welcomed and appreciated

Good to see you’re still taking photos Bubble. Nice set. The third one down is my pick of the bunch. 👍

Pretty decent stuff there guy. Look into picking out the easy distractions on the background with the ol' cloner. Mechanical Room and Do Not Block Doors are both easy targets to pick off. Other things like the little slit under the car in the profile shot and the gap you see through the front wheel well. I know it's the conditions out there, but the salty pavement, snow piles and seasonal fencing should be avoided, especially since you've got the keys for the thing. Overall though, good stuff. You're getting good at the lighting.

Thanks for the comments folks. Yea, the first two are a little "messy". I also like the 3rd one the best because that was the only location where i could find an outlet for my elinchrom strobes (note to self, bring LONG extension cord next time). Others, i had to use speedlightes for fill or make do with "natural" lighting.

Heres one more while we're at it

Another car that was there for the "meet". Surprisingly fast and agile for a..... civic

I thought the sign was a nice little touch due to the irony

I love the shots from your rig, they all look very professional and well produced! 👍 I really should get me one of those at some point!

 

[Dougboy]

Heres a sample.

Keep them coming in that case. Like the above shot. Very well executed and scenic to boot. 👍

They didn't have a problem with you taking in a big DSLR into a concert? Great shot though. Well framed and good colours 👍

 

[Watchman]

Very nice shots you've here! 👍

MOAR recent stuff

White cars are hard to shoot. I think you managed quite well as it doesn't look like you lost too much detail on body. The location is pretty cool to. Stadium entrance I assume? I'd be tempted to try and hide a few speedlights around the place to lighten up the scenery a little more in areas for maximum dramatic effect.

Two recent pics i am "proud of"
