First photoshoot

[darich]

Took a few photos of the Coupe in the drive, ably assisted by my assistant Molly :rofl:
What a ridiculously photogenic car!!

I'll be out tomorrow so will get a few more in a better setting and hopefully enter the competition.

Respray?? Seems excessive when a wash would remove those bugs. :rofl:
I had pretty much just driven it around 70miles home, parked it up and took photos.
But it does need a wash

Thanks....can't beat a proper photo using the a camera compared to the phone....it's night and day.

Might try for another shoot tonight but in a better setting so hopefully I can enter the June photo competition

I really do think, as a forum we should sell a z4 calender, it would a nice way to see all the monthly winners pics, and a great way to generate a few extra pennies for the forum.

That's happened in the past.
I've been away for a number of years and just become active again after purchasing my coupe so I don't when or why it stopped....or if it even did stop.

Not sure about that with the price of water in Cornwall. :wink: Hopefully all shiny and clean now then. 8)

Water in Scotland is plentiful and cheap, so I might get the pressure washer out and get the snowfoam on it!

hahaha
She's used to the camera.....but she's not keen on the car. It's too noisy for her liking!!

 

[Mr Tidy]

Great photos of a stunning car.

Did you do any post on those photos? They do look pretty swift.
I'm late to the party re. photography and only just got around to getting my first DSLR. Got it primarily to take product shots for my wares. I'm frankly amazed at what they're capable of.
Give us a clue of what camera/lens/settings you used for those.

I've been tooling around with my D5600 and feel like I've barely scratched the surface of it's capabilities.

Sorry for the late reply...I missed this
Photoshop...yeh a little. It's easy to go too far and make it look unreal. I prefer the realistic look but adjusting the various sliders in Lightroom improves things a bit.
These photos were taken with a Canon R6 Mk2 and a Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 lens with the EF/RF adaptor ring. Polarising filter then adjusted a bit in Lightroom. Then cropped and my signature added in Photoshop. Settings...I'd need to check, but mostly I shoot in Av mode. and I expect these would've been f2.8. ISO likely 100. Camera decides shutter speed to get correct exposure.
