i think he is talking about the bently
The second pic
that's just dirt xD
XD
Taken in FH5
I spotted a Meyers Manx in Hamburg
SIIICK
guess I managed to do a chat revival xD
nah I just went out today and saw some kewl cars
What do you think about this
This is no supercar but i think the composition is nice
What do you think
composition is beautiful imo
leave some space for the back though
What about the other photos what do you think?
most of them are underexposed
the VW needs more space imo
for me it's either some space or none at all
whenever I can
like this
That shot was not supposed to be like that the onli think i wonted to catch was the stickers
it kinda makes everything look like a 1/8th scale car lol
very nice though
No i have the toy car version of the GTR and the photo he has taken is not like a 1/8th scale car
thing is your photos are wide while I used a tele
man I need to go there with a gimbal
hello
hello
Taken in Forza Horizon 5
jeep wrangler in manhattan
6x6 G63 I found
second to last and last pics are cut of really weirdly
Old Scooby Doo van that needed a little color.
drip
Thanks @worthy mantle
I'll have to thank you cuz I'm learning the photography angles from ur photos lol
I'm still a beginner 😔
@fluid quiver youd enjoy this one
@restive wasp Thanks Duck. Photos were purposely composed that way just cropped to a 4:5 ratio for Instagram
what focal length did you use?
@restive wasp on these photos I was on an older 28-70 2.8 lens , shot with a Nikon D810
I see
Photos Shot with a 35mm 1.8 on a Nikon D810 📸✌🏼
cleannnnnn
@worthy mantle 🙏🏼 Thank you
how do you edit these?
@restive wasp all my edits are done through Lightroom
no, like, did you use a preset or did you edit individually?
I create my own presets . For car photos I mainly have 2 starter presets .. and just do final adjustments for the end look
@scarlet trench If you don't mind can u please tell me where u learnt automobile photography please. I got my camera a month ago waiting to learn
It would be really helpful ❤️
you pretty much go around the car and find an angle that's good
@worthy mantle the way I learned automotive photography is by just shooting cars a lot. I would go to as many car shows , cars and coffees as I could and I would just shoot a lot. You start to develop your style that way. Learn what you like and what you don’t like. For me I learned that I personally like to get low when shooting cars. I look for angles that highlight the car, I look for things in the foreground that I can use to composite my shot
thank you so much 🙏
It’s all in what you like ultimately. There really no right or wrong. Just getting out there and using your camera as much as possible and soon you’ll develop a style that separates you from the rest ✌🏼 Hope that helps

Shots at the dragstrip, shot with a 50mm 1.8 with Nikon D810
Not my cars, but my only photos of automobiles that I have atm
Hyundai Ioniq 5. Stunning car if you ask me!
I'm not too convinced about the front, but I also haven't looked up any specs/data of it. but from the sole optical standpoint, I am not convinced...
last one is underexposed
oki, ima change it thanks for feedback 
No special photos, but a sweet find at my local VW/Audi dealer
old photo, new edit.
This is my new favorite place to be In the server
The finest car I've ever photographed, the Twin Turbo Lamborghini Huracan Performante
widebody hellcat charger, owner is @boystoys6.2 on ig
A photo of my car ✨
that color funky
My car
I love the color
i need some desperate help pls
I'm a beginner and my friends are going spot cars
it's at the night and everytime i set it on manual i mess up the setting i tried auto but it's turning on the flash which is really annoying
can someone suggest me some good settings for night car photography i got a 18 - 55 kit lens
A friend’s car😎 Kia K5
last one is cut off oddly
That happens to me a lot with prime lenses
some snaps of a local 600LT. Yes, IK that some are overexposed
Shot with the Sony A7iii with a 24-70mm 2.8
few things from a recent meet
Soo sick pics
Yo! Is that a SF90 Stradale casually standing next to a GT-R?
is this a real reflection or photoshoped?
Back to 70's
One of my neighbor's wheels 
I have a few other car show collections but I could never pick a favorite lol... Can I just send the 500PX links in here?
Volvo 
Getting close to 400000 miles on it
Based as fuck
I love these two shots I took last week.
yooooo! IS THAT A SUPRA?!
Late 60's Vette
Two different takes on an rx-7 fc builds
This isn’t my picture or my car but I just wanted to say that this is an awesome photo that this guy took. I found it in the Night Ride discord server and it was taken by @ɪɴᴏꜱʜɪꜱʜɪ-ꜱᴀɴ イノシシーさん#0666
did you use a mist?
Do you have photos of the Yenko Camaro?
recently shot on my nikon d3200
Shot on a Canon 550D
My fav photo just because the lady waved at me, made the photo even better
Unedited btw
:)
How's this?
Nice use of the light
2 things, the top isn’t ai generated. And they aren’t my photos like I said in the message I sent with the photos.
Oh wait crap they didn’t send
Well, they are a close friends pics from when he was starting in the late 90s. Name is Matt Henderson. Photos of Colin McRae in Wales.
ah
Got the hot wheels car
Great shots!
Great Mood and tone. I think they translated well👍🏼
Here is where I first started editing like that, and thank you!
Going to my first endurance race in January
Awesome. I love going to races. Have fun!
🤙🏼
personally dislike the shadows being in the mids
🤷♂️

Lucky
Rip Ken Block 😭
The only photos I ever got of a Hoonigan car (I had just started photography ignore the quality) R.I.P Ken Block,
Brilliant
Thank you!
Loosing ken block is prob gonna be the worst thing to happen in 2023
Definitely was the last thing I expected heading into this year, he changed the community without a doubt and with him gone it'll be quite different
Race car drivers and snow isn’t the best mix
Schumi, Ken, McRae
Exactly
At least do skiing imo it’s a lot safer
U can fully control your motions and movement
Yeah, snow mobiles aren't as agile
Yeah just about
Great as always
I fucked up some of them
Which?
4th to last
I cut off the wheel well
3rd to last
I didn't leave enough space on the car and it's almost cut
5th to last
I cut off the Supra's tail light slightly
2nd to last
I should've shown more of the car
Now I see them, but don't be too hard on yourself, better to be too large and crop slightly smaller imo
yeah I need to take my time
beemah (not mine)
Sheeeeesh
all unedited taken today (sry for hella)
I love Volvos
i have 2 others by my house one is beige the other is evergreen both same style super nice cars to look at
Lamborghini Countach in Paris
^
massive W
can I just say how jealous I am about y'all having the opportunities to see those sick cars? All I'm stuck with are modded Golfs and Bimmer 3-Series xD
I just really lucky with my area, and it isn't Greenwich, LA, or Miami either
R.I.P (compression)
Never knew that would fix it
Thanks
I had like 600 shots from this meet but almost all of them were underexposed 😭
Better than overexposed imo
True
Parking garage meet for in memoriam of Ken Block
fly high 43
I got into automotive photography because I wanted to shoot the Hoonigan cars 😭
i was taking pictures of them in forza lol
Ferrari 365 GT 2+2
have to reedit them
the first 3 are cropped way too tight lmao
edited them a few months ago
That brown Huayra looks really good
Oh yea its a beautiful car
Testarossa my beloved
Some photos from Caffeine and Octane on February 5, 2023:
Picked up an A7iii and these are the first few shots with it
I wanted to ask while I was here, what’s everyone’s idea on free photoshoots. Especially just to build my portfolio.
Know your value, talk to people and make yourself known, wouldn't do free shoots, but cheaper shoots and as your quality improves, charge more, in my opinion
Do a couple where you reach out to the owner but dont let your skill be taken advantage of
i think it's a good idea
Thank you 🙌🏽
My favorites from cars and coffee yesterday
Urus
Underexposed
1st and 3rd would have looked better landscape imo
also, i think the lens is too soft, or maybe its unfocused a bit, or maybe discord doing what it does best, compressing quality
It is compresseed, I don't have Nitro so you'd need to open original file for the actual quality
i see, good work nevertheless
Greatly appreciated🙌🏽
It is also edited towards the softer side, so probably a combination of both
its much noticable in the third one specifically, others seems good enough, it feels like the blue is going "inside" the lights
3rd one
"The best. Yet to come".
the 2nd one looks cleaaaaan!
Amazing photos
Hope trucks are allowed in this thread
Imo the bloom is a bit too strong in these pics
Porsche of Santa Clarita “Cars and Coffee”
insanely hot, very jealous of that opportunity
Thank you. It was the 1st time I stopped by this Cars and Coffee. Definitely won’t be the Last
Some of my best shots from a local Cars and Coffee event back in February - Looking forward to sharing more of my work here and hopefully networking with others who shoot cars!
The marlboro livery 😍
Shots from this past Weekends Cars and Coffee ☕️📸
Very nice framing with that first shot.
I took these photos at Dubshed 2023, this past Sunday
Thanks JohnnyDebt 👍🏼
Didnt have time to edit them + theyre jpeg so it doesnt make that much sense anyways but saw some amazing cars today
Yeah lol 1 of 6 worldwide
Very crazy
Some better photos i actually took with my camera not my phone lol
Rarest production cars I've seen were this pair
2/16
those are sick photos! I defintely recommend getting a CPL, which would help eliminate most of the reflections off the cars
Thank you so much! I bought a hoya cpl and it’s mounted on my camera right now. But i moved back to my home and in here there is not that many good cars nor the scenery so i’m saving shutter count for now haha
m o i s t 😍
Rainy has a much better vibe for some cars imo
With the cpl
i noticed lol
ong
With 3 flash lights inside the car, 50mm lens with 1.6x crop sensor. Shoot this inside of the trunk
🔥
Has visible noise but eh, i only had that camera for 10 days at that time.
Now it’s been a month
Do you really need a cpl filter for automotive?
It really really helps with the reflections.
Shadows are bit underexposed but nice golf you shot 
preciate it, was kinda going for a darker vibe but yea its a lil underexposed
What i'd do is to 0 the exposure then mask the car and lower the exposure of the other elements then work out with the car and rims. lowering the highlights will help you to get rid of the reflections a bit.
Ok
SVJ 63 or 812 Comp?
I really fell in love with the 812 models for some reason but the svj is amazing too
The styling is amazing on both cars
😍😍😍
This meet had 15 Porsche 356s 💀
Why the grain / bloom so much?
koenigsegg regera gotham at petersen automotive museum.

Huracan drifting the roundabout
Reminds me of car selection in forza
It kinda does lol
Ong
Thanks^^
wasn't this the ride-out to the Nürburg Ring where Shmee attended with his Zenvo, his GT500 and Emira? Bc I think I recognize the Koenigsegg from his video! Dude, I am so jealous of you right now, it's not even funny xD
Oh and its not just a ride out but pretty much the saison beginning here in germany since good friday is called Karfreitag which Sounds like Car friday lol
I am from Germany, but still jealous
but I live too far from NBR
My dad lives near Cologne so it wasnt too far away
plus I got my finals in 3 weeks
Got him to drive us there at 6 am

Oh yeah thats a little bit too far away for just 1 day
yeah... sadly
hot
Mine was 1/60 f4 and ISO 100
👍🏼
1/30 F11 100ISO
I used an ND filter
I use F11 to make sure all the car is sharp
I can always blur out some in Photoshop,
Hard to unblur
How come you can lower your shutter speed that much and not getting blurry images? Wide lens?
I use 50mm and anything below 60 is basically blurry
Gotcha
but i can't go under 1/25
Pannning maybe
lol ye
Will try one day
with roller shoots
i come home with average 1000 photos
and about 15 might turn out
ong
funny i was just watching the mandalorian
Try keeping both cars going near or the exact same speed, as well as a continous shutter helps me to spray and pray, around ~half of my shots will be in focus, but for me that is around 1/30
idk why, but this does kinda look weird, almost a little like it was put there by an Augmented Reality app, cuz the lighting looks off
I had the same vibe after i posted it. Probably overedited the car.
if you would adjust the environment around it, then it would look quite cool 😄
Honestly these photos are not the type of photos that i want to shoot. I am much more comfortable if i’m working with the owner. Most of the photos i shoot is simultaneous and i take those without consent (hence the plate sensored). I look as many angles as i can at the moment but you know 8/10 times they wont wait. So i’m looking for people and groups that are willing to work 1 on 1.
But i gotta say simultaneous shooting really helped me to learn exposure triange.
Oh I 100% feel you! Even at like car meets or sth I tend to ask before I take pictures, bc there's always the possibility that the person might want the pictures if they are cool, which is also kinda nice imo
Gotta shoot your shot in situations like this. Valets handling the cars where i shoot (i made friends with them to shoot with ease) so i’m not able to speak with the owners in most cases. So i post photos that don’t match my style exactly ( car spotting on streets that requires lots of patience and panning. Also the city where i live is small and have lots of npc cars so it’s extra hard to come across a good thing).
I feel you (minus the valets, bc #village-life) once again!
🔥
a few from riverside today
oooh pretty
The way the dad is guiding the kid, but the kids eyes are locked onto the car tells a whole story... amazing picture
Paid actors 
959s 🤩
a guntherwerks 959 would be amazing
I know someone who has a Guntherwerks and has a 959, but not as one car, and I'm shooting his cars later this year so stay tuned 👀
:O
His account if you want more is dealmaker599 on insta, he has a crazy collection
3 959's sitting together, crazy
ong
Hubcaps in motion.
that's unique asf
Sharp ones. Which camera do you use?
Better question to ask would be what lens lol
Canon 250d
Lil dslr but gon buy a a6400
what lens?
Kit lens 18-55 with a polarizer
polarizers ftw
The new lense i ordered for the a6400 is the sigma 35mm 1.4 art
ooh
But since its full frame it can essentially become 52mm
Also ima use my eos strap with a sony 🤣
Mainly because larry chen signed it but also cuz i like the red stripe
that's fuckin dope
Is this your personal?
Friend told me their truck was gonna be parked up for a couple of hours the other day... So I took the opportunity to have some fun with a mini photoshoot, Theres more pictures but I been lazy with editing
lol nice
will be at the Ferrari Race Day at COTA tomorrow and my local meet on sunday is expected to have a yellow F50 and a Zonda, so I'll come back with edited pics sunday night 🤙🏼
Ooo
Secured a Paddock Pass for tomorrow
Sick
Tractor? tractor.
LmAO
Can I get some constructive criticism
I just want some opinions on some of the stuff I did today
Not really the best picture, but I finally managed to catch a triple trailer truck
Maybe you should consider replacing your watermark so it wont disrupt the photos. Also i checked your ig an i have a wuestion. Do you use a cpl filter?
or at least make it less opaque
and place it a bit lower in the frame
Hey thanks for the feedback dude, I’m thinking of redesigning my logo too so I’ll definitely play around with my watermark. Also no I don’t have a cpl filter yet, I’m actually using my fiancés camera so once I get my camera ordered, I’ll look into filters etc
defo a must for automotive photgoarphy
For sure for sure
I’m still relatively new to automotive photography, even though it’s a big part of my full time job 🤣 but yeah still finding my roots
Cpl is a must for automotive photography imo. I’m also just getting into photography and it was my first purchase. Love your work and watermark. It’s just the placement. Gave you a follow 
Thanks so much! Followed you back, love your stuff too 😮💨 tbh I’m really enjoying the learning curve that comes with automotive photography, figuring out what works and what doesn’t
link 👀
tysm
Thank you my friend
ooo love the work defo get a CPL tho lol
Holy shit dude your pics are insane
Do you shoot digital and film?
digital lol
Your link?

Yo these are sikk
😍😍
they're soooo slow though
comfortable
and even more so cruising at 100+
anything less than that and its slow to react
its made for the autobahn and long roadtrips
👀
Perfect for camera car ;)
it really is though!
I'm so tempted to not modify it and keep it
nahhh I'll buy a fun car
@stray swallow nice stuff 🤙🏼
ty!
there's some APR stuff for them :b https://www.goapr.com/platform/audi/a4-s4-rs4/
Yeahhhh I know, the transmission is whats stopped me there, been even considering a manual swap.
Idfk thats what some review said it was prolly wrong but
Because cropped sensor cameras have a smaller sensor, the actual focal length won’t be the same as on a full-frame.
To make this easier, let’s look at some examples of focal lengths:
35mm = 52.5mm on a cropped sensor
50mm = 75mm on a cropped sensor
85mm = 127.5mm on a cropped sensor
Crop factor is the ratio of a camera sensor's size to a 35mm film frame. Use it to calculate effective focal lengths and compare lenses between DSLRs.
ik lol
I was seeing if he thought it worked differently for crop and FF lenses
Will have more coming soon, another fxx evo, another 599xx evo, and some other neat stuff
was there a blue FXX K
No, it was only Evos lol
damn
Oooo
Shit that panning is sick
Gave me the same vibe cr: Ercole Colombo (i guess)
Thank you 🙌🏽
thats a rare sight for sure
Definitely
never been a fan of the headlights they put on
But tell me, how does one get into such an exclusive event? Do you just ask Ferrari "When you have the next trackday, would you mind me taking some pictures" or do you have to get invited?
or can you just say "fu*k it, imma shoot some Ferraris today?
Was free for anyone, I did inquire about an extra pass though
lemme guess: That was either in the US or in Italy, right?
circuit of the americas?
Yeah
nice! Did you get the pass tho?
Yeah I did
niiice!
Cant find shit in Turkey.
The crop on the front 3/4 of the GT3 is a bit too tight IMO but I like the soda can in the wing, nice to guesstimate the size of the wing
It’s probably because of other cars around.
nope, it's this. there's like 2 pixels between the car and the edge of the picture
Appreciate the feedback 🙏🏼
The #44 FXX-K Evo looks sooo f-ing bad-ass with the yellow livery (or is it White and Gold? :b)
Ong
Ik the owner, all of his ferrari's are black and yellow or yellow
Unedited^
phone pic moment
you know the owner?! Dude, you got them connections! Lucky you!
Im not super close, but we are more than acquainted
Now I know how you got that extra pass... jk jk
The owner of some pretty neat cars told me to go to an event he is hosting, he is bringing all of his cars including P1, F40 CGT, and Purple Ford GT
If you could've taken the first pic a little higher up it would look really good, other than that nice not too in your face edits 👍🏼
Ooo nice!
Imo, hands down one of the best looking Porsche factory specs
Like look at that
*not my pic
Dude, could you please stop making me jealous /s
Fr
hot
Yummers
looking forward to next saturday, visiting Audi in Ingolstadt for a audi-only car-meet I alr have visited last year
Looks awesome!
why dod you shoot the last 2 vert? just wondering
ahh i understand
:O
Finally got around to looking through which shots were usable
I said it already but I will say it again: the #92 FXX-K Evo looks sooo sick!
Greg sure knows how to spec cars, you should see his Pagani!
👀
Nice im getting one as soon as b&h sends my my goddamn check
editing out that sign in the back would do a lot for this lol, I was about to shit on the terrible wing choice only to notice it wasn't part of the car 
can't force myself to unsee it though
oh... that isn't the wing
lmao
All yalls pictures are to legal, where do you go to take pictures. 85% of my pictures are at illegal car meets
My first car photoshoot w only lambo in town
Legal car meets only happen like once a month
Oof
I have some from "illegal" meets, not takeover, takeovers are stupid and ruin the community
And random spots lol
Hot
i also dont see any pictures from "illegal" meets on your page lol.
take overs are Ls
Few shots from my most recent photoshoot. More on Instagram @tjs.autos
to cars and coffee, car shows, and scheduled shoots
Lil somethin I found in the back
Pajero mini!
Ill be shooting a ferrari f430 and lambo gallardo really soon. How do u guys find the best locations?
google maps street view (Except Germany) I'd say, haven't been able to use it because, well, Germany, but I feel like that could work pretty well
Why dosnt germany have that? Never thought about that
some shit with "Privacy" and "Data-protection"... except major cities. But rural areas? Nope
but, I saw an Apple Maps car today and I think my car will be on apple maps
I saw google car yesterday. Ill be om google probably haha
The car was next to me 😂
Here is a unique shot of the rare volvo p1800 i shot in america. I used a 600mm lens to take this shot
There is a p1800 near me, should I contact the owner for a shoot?
If u want to. Nothing wrong with asking
I asked the only lambo owner in my city and i got to go on a shoot with him. Will do it again soon
Here is one pic i took @prisma drum
Nice
I mean, I don't have to like it in order to take a quick snapshot :b but I think it's pretty sick looking. Probs doesn't drive good, but at least looks dope :b
Suprise-Visit of the RS6-GTO at today's Audi-RS exclusive Car meet in Ingolstadt
... and the Safari TT-RS
-_-
Wtf do u mean
Don’t get me wrong shots are decent but defo not the car imho
Circular polarizer filter to remove glare and reflections off the car
Yummers
Ye no shit, i had one on
Then turn dat shit
I did?
Whew
?
CPLs can't fix all reflections, I had to learn that the hard way yesterday...
You can if you have a tripod
I mean it might not completely dissolve the issue but you can stich them in photoshop
okay, fair, but that would take a lot of time to do correctly and might be possible with a "private" shoot but not on a car meet
You are right
and honestly, I sometimes even like reflections on windows, like in this photo
Totally agreed. You have to show the cars lines
what car is supposed to be in focus?
plus: the front bumper of this grey/silver SUV is distracting
and the edge of this sign on the right
First time doing car photography with some lightroom editing, feedback would be great 🫡
Both
ah, okay 😄 just a wild guess, but is this close to the NBR?
I'm not wanting to one-up you or anything, just found those again on an old SD card
GAH DAMN
Okay buddy.
can't tell me that's unedited
in camera creative filter, that's it
saldy do not own a polarising filter so pls ignore my reflection lmao (yes i have ordered one)
Can I get some feedback on this shot please? It didn’t really turn out how I had planned
Which one is the best in your opinion? Can't decide which one to toss on the instagram
Why r u running fake plates
Dwdw
If you aren't running your real plate you should just be running none
He went to races. Shortly after this
If a cop sees no plate, he will pull you.
If he sees a plate that isn't registered to anything he won't know until he runs it
Driving no license plate lesser offense than running a fake one
Sick ones
Just the placement of the watermark bugs me thats all
Not my car, nor my problem. He told me I can take pictures and that he is running a fake plate
