[silent raft]

hopefully all three will be at dream ride

[white mural]

Yea bro

I want to see some of the stuff that they have in Monterey but I don’t think they’ll be back east in time

[silent raft]

yea

[white mural]

Bro your shot is so much better than mine

What focal length were you on

@silent raft you got some dope shots on your insta dude

[prisma drum]

decided to attend a night time meet

[rigid veldt]

I absolutely love this rolling shot

[low oar]

Thank you so much!

[silent raft]

thanks man!

[silent raft]

around 35 i think

i have also heard that car groms may be at dream ride, however my friend who is close friends with them hasnt heard abt it at all

[white moth]

love the insta

also seen that pagani dealer a million times

actually it might have been the dealer in beverly hills

[silent raft]

yea its very popular

[white moth]

only ever seen a pagani once

Pagani Huayra BC Tempesta

[silent raft]

that spec 😻

[white moth]

better shot of the front

my desktop background rn

[silent raft]

😩

[white moth]

[silent raft]

i hope to see a tempesta at some point

[white moth]

Always wanted to see a base model

I like the tempesta and the BC, but I honesltly prefer it without the wing and the canards

[silent raft]

huh, i always preferred them over the base

[white moth]

I reckon the 2nd most impressive car I've seen was this

mclaren senna XP (experimental prototype) only 3 ever made and not included in the production numbers

[silent raft]

dream car 😩

[white moth]

license plate is XP1

but the wrap is just

[silent raft]

yea, love that purple

[silent raft]

gridlife circuit legends

best i could do on my 24-70mm f5.6 😭 💀

[fluid crown]

Fire

Ive only done stills for cars, i gotta start tryin panning n rolling shots at sum point

[white moth]

I did do some rollers 2 days ago

didnt account for how badly the lighting would be on the streets, so used flash and high iso as an excuse to get some retro style pics

also I flashed a BMW and they slowed down cuz they thought I was a speed camera 😭 😭

also they werent really rollers my af was none existent and the window of this golf I was in didnt go down all the way

[fluid crown]

You want low shutter for rollers no?

Typically at least

[white moth]

I shot it at 1/60th but should have gone less becasue we weren going that fast

I wasnt payed or anything more just having fun

[white mural]

Yea I was on 50 but with apsc so it’s basically 75 which is why I couldn’t get a good shot of any of them

[white moth]

I can’t imagine being in a room with that car let alone photographing it. That’s amazing bro

[white moth]

These types of wide angle shots I just don’t vibe with. It’s just me though, they look a bit wonky. I used to shoot that way but I started to just zoom in a tiny bit to get rid of the wide angle look

[white mural]

It was surreal being alone in a room with 4 paganis

[white moth]

Yeah, do you watch Life Through Optics?

[white mural]

Of course

Him and jack ultra motive got me into photography

[still grove]

I was there too! Laptop is currently down so I can’t edit anything tho :(

Those shots of the cars uphil is actually right where I was camping that weekend!

[silent raft]

oh nice haha

i was over by there by the gridlife camera during the first time attack and gltc sessions on saturday

[white moth]

I get it It was because there was ropes around the whole car, and there were so many people walking around the car so I might aswell have gotten a wide angle shot

I dont ususally do it, wide angle can be fun but it distorts the car from what it actually looks like

[white moth]

Oh, ok. That makes a ton of sense. I understand, some situations do require it

[white moth]

before and after of an M3 I shot 2 days ago

[white moth]

Just edited this old pic, didn't realise at the time it was a lineup of all N1 spec GTR's

only about 63 N1 R32's, 87 N1 R33's and 38 N1 R34's

so probably one of the rarest lineup of GTR's in the world

[white moth]

These are the first shots I’ve ever gotten of interior, what do you think?

[white moth]

I’m so jealous of being there. The 2002 gtr r34 is my all time favorite car. Especially with the stock blue color

[fluid crown]

Bit tight for interior shots

If they’re detail shots the subject isn’t rlly clear

[white moth]

I was in my garage so I didn’t have to much space to work with since there was also a car behind me. Like I said, my first interior shots so I don’t really know how to do them well. I tried to get the steering wheel mostly. I liked the reflection on the branding

[fluid crown]

For the tight issue, just use a wider angle lens

If ur doing detail shots, here i would jus practice making your subject stand out better

The last one is nice

Well actually they all are, jus gotta rework the framing a bit 👍🏽

[prisma drum]

re-edited some old COTA pics

[silent raft]

😍

i have to go to an xx trackday sometime

[prisma drum]

It was awesome, tho very hot outside but the access is amazing and the cars sound incredible

[still grove]

imsa at lime rock!

[silent raft]

next year wouldve been the first year i wouldve been able to go, but i cant now that 2024 was cancelled 🥲

[fluid quiver]

smol teaser! more coming soon

[pallid lantern]

went to a really cool car show

[glossy void]

First one is sick

I want an a6000

[fluid quiver]

Oh no, those are crappy phone pics

But thank you 😄

[glossy void]

Comp on the first one is good at least

I didn’t notice anything as I’m on mobile rn

[fluid quiver]

It's not sharp at all...

But I got that one with my camera, too

[white moth]

put vaseline on an old polariser I had laying around +some LR and PS editing

[prisma drum]

Rollers with my favorite STO

[jade adder]

]

[fluid crown]

Ts one of my favorites

[prisma drum]

Local C&C

[fluid quiver]

a bit of too much dead space to the right, and weird selective saturation thinggy

[silent raft]

wish i couldve stayed longer, beautiful lighting when the sun starts to set

[proven cedar]

I'll edit out the black one later
just a quick mobile LR edit

[silent raft]

$4.2 million raised this weekend 💪

[fluid crown]

For aesthetics, was goin for “the batman” type shi

[restive wasp]

I actually dislike that people keep front end swapping it

YO IT'S THE PINK F40

lucky, I wanna go to an FD event so bad

[prisma drum]

More rollers lol

[low oar]

Should have led with these.. these are a lot better 😂

[pliant ice]

New to this discord hello everyone

[proven cedar]

brother just came and immediately dropped a banger 🔥

[white moth]

holy fuck

this at monterey car week?

[pliant ice]

yes!

[prisma drum]

I still think the original set with just the STO is the best out of the 3

[low oar]

M4 shot of the passenger side is my favorite for sure

[white moth]

if the grass is deep fried dont @ me my eyes get used to it over long editing sessions

imo F80 M3 is the best car for car photography

it doesn't look amazing but it looks really good from all angles

[prisma drum]

New GTs really dont have a bad angle and are very unique looking

[keen wren]

The portaloo is making me laugh but that’s such a nice car

Aren’t they like crazy rare or is that the old ones

Older*

[white moth]

best common car for car photography 🤣

[prisma drum]

In purple they are crazy rare

[prisma drum]

That's fair

[white moth]

I have yet to see a gt in person

I will be doing a shoot this weekend

with this absolute beast

[prisma drum]

What year?

[fathom river]

Sadly I have no idea, just saw it in a parking garage

[keen wren]

I wanna get into car photography but idk if my camera setup is good enough

[white moth]

whats ur setup

[keen wren]

Nikon d3200 with the kit Lens and additionally a 18-105

[white moth]

oh ye nice

I shoot with a D3400 and usually a 35mm prime but also my 18-55

[keen wren]

Obviously need to buy a polariser and deffo a tripod since I don’t even have one any more

Is the 18-55 good because don’t kit lenses have a weird thing where it changes the aperture based on what zoom

[white moth]

tripod comes in clutch at night so you can do longer exposures at low ISO

yeah the 18-55 has the same thing

so minimum aperture is F3.5-5.6

[keen wren]

Ah okay that’s fine

[white moth]

so at its widest (18mm) the lowest aperture is F3.5 but if you zoom into 55mm it lowers the aperture to 5.6

I have a 50mm and 35mm prime lens and I mostly use the 35mm

[keen wren]

Does it produce quite good shots even though the aperture changes?

I’ve been kinda putting off using it since it does that

[white moth]

what other lenses do you have?

[keen wren]

Just the kit Lens and then the 18-105

[white moth]

honestly I'd shoot with either one unless one of them is sharper than the other

shot at 18mm with the kit lens and was at F9 so I got it pre sharp

[keen wren]

The problem is I literally don’t know where to find any cool cars

My friends are taking their cars out but they are shitty polos

Should be fun tho

[white moth]

tbf I just spotted this on the highway

I go to carmeets thats the best way to connect with ppl tbh

but literally get experience doing shoots with any cars, because its good to gauge how many photos you would take for a 1 on 1 shoot

Im gonna shoot my mates prelude tmrw should be fun

[keen wren]

Tryna get into a street racing meet for tmr night

Hopefully I get the location

[low oar]

I started with a d3200 you're definitely good to shoot cars bro 😂 just get a cpl

[prisma drum]

CPL is a Godsend

[low oar]

Dude it makes such a huge difference

[prisma drum]

Only possible for me with a CPL

Car was super shiny 😭

[low oar]

Makes things look straight out of a magazine

[prisma drum]

Fr

[low oar]

And lucky.. shooting an f40

That's a dream subject right there..

[prisma drum]

i dont know what I'd do without my CPL

[prisma drum]

I am very fortunate with the area I am in, there is a few here and even a guy who brings his 959 out every few weeks

[low oar]

Best we have here is a Bugatti 😂

[prisma drum]

Bad pic, but this was 1 guy's convoy

[low oar]

Okay where you at? I'm moving

[prisma drum]

Dallas Texas lol

[low oar]

WHAT

[prisma drum]

Yeah

[low oar]

Dude that's awesome.. how's the street car scene?

[prisma drum]

Pretty awesome, QUIET was started here

[low oar]

Shoot I may need to take a trip there..

I'm planning on Monterey next year maybe

[prisma drum]

If you do I can show you around, not many cool places but a lot of cool cars

I would like to go to Monterey next year

[low oar]

But Texas seems more reasonable..

Sounds like a plan bro. Monterey is just one of those expensive trips I keep putting off 😂

[prisma drum]

Texas is fairly cheap when it comes to visiting lol

[low oar]

and buying a home

[white moth]

thought you said shitty

[pliant ice]

CPL is a MANDATORY

[white moth]

bro CPL comes in clutch I got 3 of them for all my lenses

[fluid crown]

Why not use adaptor rings

[white moth]

if ur asking me its cuz I preferred having CPL's permanently screwed onto all my lenses as opposed to adaptor rings

[white moth]

Saw this Supra while going through Philly on my way to New Jersey. What do we think about the second edit?

[proven cedar]

which photo is the second edit

the last photo isn't good imho
two cars in frame
can't see the rear nor the front
photo 2 is decent
photo 3 is blueish and grainy kinda

not my vibe

@white moth

[prisma vale]

Yummi

Was a terrible idea btw lol

[prisma drum]

Black Series

[fluid crown]

Anyone here use a diffusor?

Im lookin at either a nisi black mist or a tiffen one

[pliant ice]

pics from the new set I just posted

[white moth]

The photos with grain and a filter are the second edits

[white moth]

I was in a car, so I couldn’t move around to get different angles, I was experimenting with the one’s you didn’t like. I wanted it t9 be kind of mysterious

[proven cedar]

well the idea is nice
but the execution is not

[low oar]

Anyone ever prefer reflections?

[fluid crown]

Really depends

[white moth]

we jus gonna skip over this??!

[white moth]

Ok, I see what you mean. Thanks for the tip

[white moth]

It looks pretty cool in that scenario, but most of time I like a polarizer

[low oar]

My thoughts exactly

[low oar]

I think it works here

[white moth]

love the shot but its a bit** B R I G H T **

[prisma drum]

some extras

[low oar]

Yeah bro I know... I somewhat like it somewhat dont

Especially that top right corner

[low oar]

Broo ive dreamed of seeing a senna

[prisma drum]

I've only seen 1 senna, but 2 senna gtrs
Tho there is another senna I can see if I go to my local C&C lol

[white moth]

ok tbf Im on my actual monitor now and It looks alot better

my laptop screen is asscheeks

[white mural]

Ignore the guy on the right in the first one

[pliant ice]

Sunset orange LFA set fo today

[fluid crown]

Sick location

[marsh moth]

is that a prelude?

love that car

if it is one. I can't tell 😭

[white moth]

ye my mates lude

[glossy void]

real

[prisma vale]

Dont mind the bottom one, they all a video frame

[marsh moth]

are these lights you brought to the set?

[fluid crown]

Ts was set up in my garage, fog machine + projector

Budget cinema basically 😂

[marsh moth]

projectors are the future of photography I stg

you can do so much random shit with them

[still grove]

Did this shoot for an ad to promote a weekly meet at this entertainment place

[proven cedar]

dayum nice photos

[still grove]

Thank you, was mostly trying to go for photos that can be made into a good meet flyer/poster

[glossy void]

sick effect, hard to make out details but cool

[fluid crown]

Insta + discord compression 😪

[glossy void]

Bro downloads his photos from Instagram?

[fluid crown]

Idk how else to make those layouts

[white moth]

love the photo but It looks like you decreased the texture or clarity too much

its too smooth makes it look sort of AI generated

[fathom river]

This one's a bit better

Idk if the wide shot fits it though

[fluid crown]

Very nice

Like the vibe

[fathom river]

Thanks!

[glossy void]

Put them all together in an editing software like I use pixlr

[proven cedar]

you got photoshop?

[fluid crown]

Oh shi bet, ive been tryna find a way to do it

[fluid crown]

Nah 😪 not atm

[glossy void]

Canva is popular too easier to use but less features cus they want money

Canva is like super beginner frendly it’s got like images n shit u can search “vehicular” and get sick pic of car

They’re both websites too

[fluid crown]

Canva’s for slideshows no?

[fluid crown]

I used to use it for school i think

[glossy void]

Can do

[fluid crown]

Bet

[pliant ice]

the only pics I got of the Urban Bamboo Chromaflair GT2RS, I shoulda taken more but this was the only time I saw it

[still grove]

that last wheel shot is so pretty

[prisma drum]

thank you

we hunted the gray and blue one on the road but got blocked by and old sonata

[low oar]

Ahhh so you dig it?

[low oar]

What lens?

[still grove]

car spotting done right awesome shots!

[still grove]

Nikkor 50mm 1.8S

[white moth]

ye I like it

I honestly prefer it off centre lowkey

[low oar]

its growing on me

[velvet mural]

anyone got some good car shooting spots in your local area?

[plush marten]

it is but getting rid of that chain would have made it even prettier

[plush marten]

I have an intersection right by my house thats like the 2 most busiest roads that arent highways and people drive nice cars down one of them all the time cause it goes right into my town

its getting colder though so ill have to try sitting out there all day on a nice friday next year when I dont have school

[velvet mural]

Damnn you're lucky to have a house there

Sounds like a cool spot

[plush marten]

definitely is if I go there more, ive seen 3 or 4 lambos drive down it over the years and I like never am on it for more than like 15 minutes a day so there’s probably a lot more cool cars ive missed

[pliant ice]

Pacific Color Stream McLaren Sabre

[prisma drum]

997 Turbo on GT2RS Wheels and with a GT2RS wing

[pliant ice]

what was your settings for this shot? Ive never done night rollers before and I am defintly curious

[velvet mural]

I was using 1/30 , f2.8 , Center continuous autofocus , auto iso with 17mm on a APSC camera

It had quite some noise which I used Lightroom AI to denoise afterwards

And the auto white balance is always too warm at night 😂 so I fixed that in Lightroom as well

[low oar]

Night rollers go crazy

[pliant ice]

auto iso other than that well done tho!

[still grove]

Manual with auto iso isn’t bad

I do my panning and rollers in shutter priority

Then i’ll adjust with a VND if needed

[velvet mural]

i was too stressed out to get the shot with manual iso

[velvet mural]

ye

lightroom is good at reducing noise anyways

[prisma drum]

Slowly improving

[white moth]

re edited old pic

had to extend the top and bottom for wallpaper

[still grove]

Love the rear engine brace detail shot

[fluid crown]

Insane

[prisma drum]

The Caged Bull

[white moth]

🔥 🔥

[fluid crown]

Insanely good

[prisma drum]

so hawt

[rigid veldt]

Love these! What kind of camera/lens?

[white moth]

[still grove]

Met this s2k at black falcon in boston only to find out we share a zip code and Ive never seen his car

[nimble matrix]

[still grove]

love this indian scout detail photo. B&W was a good choice

[fluid crown]

How do yall live in areas wit mfs with ts kinda money 😭

[pliant ice]

i dont this is from Monterey car week

[white moth]

he lives in cal no wonder 😭

exotic central

[still grove]

[prisma drum]

Not too photography related, but Mystic Cobra in my neighborhood

[sonic magnet]

thankyouu :)))

[sonic magnet]

film?

[fathom river]

Yeah

[sonic magnet]

really nice

[fathom river]

First roll I've shot

Thank you!

[sonic magnet]

oo

is it hard tho

shooting w film

i wanna try but film is kinda expensive where im from

[sonic magnet]

i like the halation effect, really cool

[fathom river]

I mean those two were like the only good pictures pretty much

I got one really good one of my friends, I think it's worth it, I want to get a new camera that has fully manual control

[unreal kite]

Badges and ornaments can be some of the most enjoyable things to shoot..

[lusty parcel]

wsgg

[fathom river]

Is that a vignette or a shadow

[low oar]

Linear gradient

[proven cedar]

i'd tone it down

looks to artificial

[prisma drum]

Anyone like racing?

[fluid crown]

These are fire daamn

I rlly wanna try doing sum rollers soon

[still grove]

Just hard to plan them out really, got lucky with these since I was out in the white mountains with a big group

[low oar]

Fr these are amazing

[unreal kite]

🇺🇸 Import in Australia

[fresh tundra]

Unfortunate way to end a track day for this guy

[white moth]

damn

such a shame one hell of a car

[fresh tundra]

Yeah always sucks to see. Was shooting along the main straight and caught it sitting in the gravel out of the corner of my eye

[white moth]

yeah I was doing some rollers and shooting a meet in my mates prelude

we had a blast

then this happened yesterday 😭

[fresh tundra]

Never found the owner but from what I heard he lost the rear overcorrected it. Ended up in the tire wall

[fresh tundra]

Dude that’s rough

Everyone ok tho?

[white moth]

yeah was just him in the car

slid out in the wet on a roundabout

[fresh tundra]

Man that sucks. Glad he was ok though

I like that gen of prelude

[still grove]

dream ride or monteray?

[pliant ice]

Monterey, at the Quail

[still grove]

Found out this car is 1 of 4 with one being in north america

[prisma drum]

colorway Im assuming?

[still grove]

no its a specific model its a "tailor made Ispirazioni Ferrari 812 GTS in Blu Flugpaz Livrea Tricolore Francese" it pays tribute to the 56' 250GT Berlinetta

[prisma drum]

Gotcha, I've seen a Tailor made pista with a color fade from factory, this one is cooler tho

[still grove]

yeah this color was very striking in person and shows great on pictures normally not a big fan of light blue

[rugged linden]

this shot is mid

[still grove]

love the warm

[peak carbon]

First motorcycle photo I took

[silent raft]

got soaked while shooting this but it was worth it

[still grove]

Wish I could've been there! the lawn was a automotive photographers dream

[lofty marten]

I don’t really shoot cars anymore but here is some old work

[still grove]

Such a good location, endless possibilities to be creative in that feild

[pliant ice]

F50 rollers

[white moth]

Your photos are way too good. I’d love to shoot one of those as well. I’ve been watching you in the discord for months now and don’t get boring.

[white moth]

I’m jealous

[fluid crown]

Preciate that brother that means alot 🤝🏽

Yeah for me personally wrxs are such a fun car to shoot

[wary quest]

Sony A7iii w/Tamron 28-75 f2.8

[wary quest]

Shutter speed?

[pliant ice]

1/60

[unreal kite]

Is the light flare/shine genuine or post production?

f/3.5 doesn't work to well here..

[pliant ice]

genuine flare! got lucky on that haha

[unreal kite]

niceeee

[still grove]

if you can I would remove the other cars from the image otherwise the first one is amazing love the flare and depth

[pliant ice]

ive actually tried to but where the car is the road curves slightly and it just looks odd

[still grove]

what did you use for the attempt?

[pliant ice]

PS, the op AI remove tool

[still grove]

very surprised it didn't work out ive had similar images do well with it but it is hit or miss sadly :/

was this a client or just happen to get lucky? always loved the look of the F50 but they weren't very popular

[pliant ice]

got lucky haha we were headed somewhere and I saw it from a distance and told my driver to full send

[still grove]

thats awesome haha, need to see a private shoot with one of these cars, amazing body lines

[hexed belfry]

took these on my sony a6400 with the 18-135 kit lens this past weekend at drift con after dark

[white moth]

First graphic design for a photo. What do we think?

[hexed belfry]

looks good, it could use some brightness but it looks good and maybe some noise on the sides

[white moth]

I like darker photography imo, noise would be a cool addition though, thanks.

[hexed belfry]

okay, yea it looks good tho, i need to learn how to do graphic design some time soon, i wanna start a website or somethin

or business cards

[white moth]

Thanks! Not the best at graphic design, but I learned a bit from making album covers for myself

[hexed belfry]

of course! your doing good tho so far, it looks great

[still grove]

Does anyone here have experience with tube lights for night car photography? Looking to expand the options I have for shooting cars at night

[low oar]

i think @fluid crown has been playing with them

@still grove

[still grove]

Yeah I sent him a message, wanted to see if anyone had photos of some night work with artificial lighting they used and not city lights or street lamps

[low oar]

I havent, im still trying to get the hang of this new camera

[still grove]

i like this, and ur tag on the building sign

[white moth]

1986 Porshe Turbo 944

[unreal kite]

i like this one

[white moth]

You need to be more in line with the front of the car if your trying to get a front shot. Your kind of of to the right I little. I love the lighting of the photo though!

[maiden acorn]

Ikr, kinda sucked being a Saturday night during the drunk people wandering home at 3am so I kinda stood off to the right a little cos there was a lot and drunk people are weird

[remote sky]

Fire shots bro 🔥

Also, quick question, I see that you have an a7rii, how has it been serving you? I have people shitting on me for wanting to get one lol

[pliant ice]

its great! idk why people are shitting on you for wanting it

[remote sky]

Yea idk, thanks man!

[white moth]

There was a lot of glare because of the sky, but I think it turned out ok. Opinions?

[tacit juniper]

kia soul

[low oar]

Thank you, the building owners didnt want people parking thier cars infront of the building often so I had to cover it up haha

[low oar]

Thanks bro!

[patent rapids]

its missing a bit of depth imo

[white moth]

Can you go a little more into detail? Is it something I can fix in editing? Beautiful car btw

[patent rapids]

no it has to do with the settings you use to take the picture

more aperture more things are in focus

[patent rapids]

an example with low aperture (f.5/0 i believe)

[white moth]

I used f/3.5 or f/4

To low?

[patent rapids]

i think it has to do with the zoom then

idk tbh i thought you took the pic with high aperture

it looked like it

[white moth]

I was at around 30mm or 40mm AP-C

I mean a Cropped sensor, I forget how they put it

[patent rapids]

i took this with 80mm AP-C F/5.6

[white moth]

What about this? I was a bit off on the angle where I was at, but this was a random car so I tried to be quick

I usually focus on the headlight since it a better general spot imo

[patent rapids]

i like the picture i just dont like the angle

[white moth]

Yeah, same

I wish I had another go at it

[white moth]

Thanks for the feedback though, it helps a lot as well when people actually aren’t acting like I’m stupid for getting some things wrong. I started car photography only 3 or 4 months ago but I’ve been dabbling in nature photography for a little over 6 months now

[patent rapids]

youre welcome, i also get a lot of things worng i only started 2 months ago

[white moth]

You don’t take bad photos for 2 months

[patent rapids]

thank you

[fluid crown]

Were you just walking by it or is this a car u can properly shoot

[white moth]

I was riding by in an e scooter. I was trying to go car spotting through neighborhoods around me since a lot of people park on the side of the road

So I couldn’t properly shoot it

[prisma drum]

Soon to be mine 🙂

[low oar]

Bro we all do things wrong 😂 it's how you learn!

[patent rapids]

im in love

[still grove]

That feeling when you have a shoot but just aren't happy with the location after shooting. Gonna shoot this car again this weekend :/

[white moth]

pink against green goes hard

[still grove]

yeah I agree, some more darker greens and a dirt road would be nicer. There was an overwhelming amount of yellow shrubbery around which made this hard. Was very last minute shoot

[prisma drum]

Saturday I’ll have pics of a 959, Senna GTR, and 2 Hennessey F5s

[sweet heath]

That skeleton is a great touch lol

[torpid mango]

it's become a staple at this track

look at the hood slap in the first pic

[white moth]

lowrider

[marsh moth]

some weird ones for y'all

[white moth]

[sweet heath]

Head-on shot desperately needs a crop that highlights how low to the ground the car is

[unreal kite]

The random things you see on the road in a country town 😂

[fluid crown]

First shot is money

[prisma drum]

You are insanely talented, I hope you can secure some high end clients to let your skills really shine because everything you put out is banger after banger

[fluid crown]

Damn. That means a lot coming from you dawg I look up to your work 🙏🏽

Ur rolling and panning shots go hard

[prisma drum]

Thank you! And you deserve it!
Tho I will say that half of the work comes from my camera, the IBIS is insane!

[fluid crown]

IBIS is valid

My camera has it, shi is clutch

[prisma drum]

Have a shoot with the owner of this GW for his 959 in the future,

[fallen thicket]

Which one do you like more? This was taken with my phone camera since I didn't have my actual camera with me

Also before and after

The first one is slightly edited

[white moth]

2nd one

[white moth]

tbh neither

[fallen thicket]

Why neither

[white moth]

its just too tight its slightly cutting off the edge of the mirror

the idea behind it is cool

a red mirror on a white car split by carbon

[still grove]

Agreed crop is too tight, and the warm lighting kinda ruins the contrast

[fallen thicket]

All I did to the photo was crop. I haven't made it it cool lighting but yeah warm isn't that great

YOOOOOOO hahahaha nice

[still grove]

I see the life thru optics inspiration 👀

[still grove]

Currently working on some night photos, not my greatest area in terms of post processing

[marsh moth]

gas station photos finna be cliche in a year or two so make em last while you can 💪

[still grove]

not many other places at night where you can be there and not be kicked out in 10mins tbh

[fluid crown]

Learning how to use photoshop more

Its rough rn but it’ll come

[white moth]

lighting is always on point damn 🔥

[cunning mountain]

Iphone photography 🥴

[still grove]

is this an FD event?

[cunning mountain]

Yes

Long beach

[rugged linden]

wow! do you use a different camera app?

[cunning mountain]

I just use lightroom

[cunning mountain]

I took the photo in my regular iphone camera app

[rugged linden]

Oh

and you edit in LR right

[cunning mountain]

Yes

[rugged linden]

that's awesome

[cunning mountain]

Usually for iphone pics i do film emulation to hide the shitty quality lol

[white moth]

damn that aint to bad for a phone fr

[still grove]

recognized it immediately from my own fd photos your phone photography is great!

[still grove]

the 4th picture is amazing, great edit and can barely tell its from a phone the fence is really the biggest giveaway

[tacit juniper]

ferrari Canta LX spotted in amsterdam 1/1

[cunning mountain]

Oh those four are dslr sorry

Lol

[still grove]

that would make sense, action shots like that isn't easy on a phone

[cunning mountain]

Yeah

[still grove]

I have a buddy who uses his phone to create action shots and he got some great stuff but nothing this clean

[cunning mountain]

Cool

[still grove]

Thoughts?

[white moth]

[white moth]

idk abt the lifted square border

but other than that its dope af

[still grove]

Yeah i’m tryna play around with photoshop more i spend time each carousel learning small new skills so when in creating new ones in the future i put all those small skills together, wanna get into more graphic design stuff

[cunning mountain]

Love it

dude you gotta send me this location, is this hawks nest??

[fluid crown]

Nahh its fort drum

[still grove]

are the lake views nice up there? im from boston been needing to take an upstate new york trip at some point

[fluid crown]

Fort drum specifically? Not rlly, upstate is nice tho u jus gotta look

[still grove]

no just the area fort drum is in

[fluid crown]

“Not rlly”

Theres like one lake here but it aint it

[still grove]

Thats fair enough, southern rhode island and boston harbour make for some greate water photos. Lake region in north western maine is amazing too

[fluid crown]

I could imagine, sounds fire

Ive been tryna look for lakes i can actually park up at

[white moth]

love the 4th shot, dont see many drag photos

[maiden acorn]

Drag racing on top

[low oar]

god i love s2k

[still grove]

I agree, the possibilies with the s2k are endless such a timeless car

couple more s2k shots

[white moth]

[still grove]

a little to many layers on this one, cool poster idea tho would love to see that in 8.5x11

[prisma drum]

Just experimenting

[still grove]

The drop shadow on the cars hurts to see even if the streaks worked well

Keep experimenting tho fr

[prisma drum]

It’s really only on the “streaks” but that’s made using the car so any black sticks out

That one has a slight bit up drop shadow tho

[still grove]

this one is nice

[still grove]

first picture doens't even seem real

[sweet heath]

more interesting for the lens than the car

180/2.8, D200

[still grove]

thats super clean

this the exported raw? or edited?

[sweet heath]

mild edit

it's just a very nice old lens

but yeah, .NEF file denoised

raised the shadows some, brought the highlights down, a little contrast, 2/3 EV up

[cunning mountain]

Fun

[frank bluff]

looking for advice pls and thank you :D

btw these are just cars i saw on the street so cleanliness wasnt smth i could choose!

[prisma drum]

sneak peak phone pics for what’s coming up

[prisma drum]

Good focus points on the headlights, the only glaring thing I see is how close the edge of the cars are to the edge of the picture, a little more room would be nice, but like you said found on the street so not perfect conditions some light editing on the exposures would be good, other than that experiment with angles! Get creative and you’ll be pleasantly surprised!

[frank bluff]

i totally get that only issue was a car was literally right at the edge

i think i hvae a photo

also i brought my 50mm instead of my 30mm so that also made it difficult

made it pretty difficult but i did my best

[rose socket]

what do you think about my photo and editing ?

[prisma drum]

The editing is nice, maybe adding a little texture to it to make it stand out from the cars would make it pop more, and a little more depth on the shadows would be beneficial imo

[prisma drum]

I bring a camera bag with me anytime I take my camera out, definitely helps to have the backpack kind to carry more AND distribute the weight more evenly so you don’t get sore, but yeah just what I said and you have some great shots!

[frank bluff]

also idk if im going crazy but they all seem just a bit tilted

[prisma drum]

Sneak Peaks for yall first

[sweet heath]

Pagani mirrors look so nice

Neat lineup shot

[prisma drum]

Thank you! One of the guys was nice and let me behind the ropes to take that shot

[sweet heath]

That GT must’ve felt out of place

Neat seeing a new one in the wild though

[white moth]

pagani lineup is just

[prisma drum]

Haha this was a photoshoot with the LFA

[sweet heath]

First one is quite nice

I didn’t know the doors did that

[white moth]

front 3/4 shot is undefeated

[prisma drum]

Yeah the new GTs are really something, this is the Carbon Edition

[sweet heath]

Any changes performancewise?

The paint job is a real looker here

[prisma drum]

Not really, just can option it to have a bunch of carbon fiber so it’ll be lighter, but that’s about it besides livery

[sweet heath]

I’ll always be a little disappointed that Lexus never followed up the LFA

[prisma drum]

Supposedly a successor is in the works, but may not see production

[sweet heath]

Probably a hybrid, which can be crazy fast when done right so I don’t mind

[prisma drum]

Yeah

[torpid mango]

Anyone like drift missiles?

[prisma drum]

Absolutely!

[torpid mango]

I'll give you a few more

[white moth]

drift missiles be hittin

[torpid mango]

I'm ashamed to say that I hate the way S14s look

the other s-bodies look so much better

[fluid crown]

Insane take

[prisma drum]

The only shots possible when you put THE Zonda F in front of a crowd

[fluid crown]

First shot is gorgeous

[sweet heath]

Good argument for an ultrawide tbh

[prisma drum]

I was using my 10-22 😅

[sweet heath]

Really close crowd, wow

[prisma drum]

Very, that’s also not showing the new 1/1 Huayra next to me lol

[white moth]

[prisma drum]

One of the ones there yes

Here yall go 🙂

[white moth]

[pseudo wraith]

Lemme know what you think of these pics

[prisma drum]

Gt3rs pic go crazy

[pliant ice]

that show looked like a cluster fuck

[prisma drum]

This was only when they were unveiling and EVERYONE was there, but before and after that it was good and it was pretty spread out

[still grove]

would be better if it was 3 of the same model or all 3 alteast had the same frunk body lines

[torpid mango]

[still grove]

Dawn rollers are the best, low light and even if you miss it at least its not dark out

[fluid crown]

That grading is beautiful goddamn

[still grove]

That second picture was a fan favorite, my homie was hyped

[fluid crown]

Yeah 2nd one is mad cinematic

[still grove]

Btw there wasn't much done with the grade, very small tweaks to color balance and the sunrise, Nikon Color science

[fluid crown]

Damn 😭

How dark were the RAWs for the lights not to be overexposed tho like at all

[still grove]

ill drop one in

[fluid crown]

Bet

[still grove]

actually lemme send a ss

[fluid crown]

Damn thas not even that dark wth

[still grove]

that was the original photo

i think I was exposing for the highlights and lowering ISO

[fluid crown]

Crazyy, good shi

I’ll be givin rollers a shot at sum point

[still grove]

You definetly gotta get into it honestly the most exciting part of automotive photography, when the cars are doing what they are design to do

[fluid crown]

Type shii

Keep it up dawg

[unreal kite]

Went out and took pictures on a farm today, this was my personal favourite..

[sweet heath]

Odd colors, but fun

[prisma drum]

Yeah, I’d love to visit Hk though, beautiful city

[velvet mural]

The car culture is massive too

[prisma drum]

[velvet mural]

no crazy big cities? Srsly? Lol

houstan , dallas

[prisma drum]

Yeah, they are very spread out

[velvet mural]

True

[prisma drum]

Nothing like NYC, Chicago, and LA

[prisma drum]

Those are some insane shots man!

[velvet mural]

whats good about hk is theres a lot of rich people packed in a small place

[prisma drum]

I can imagine

[velvet mural]

andd therefore a tons of supercar

but i wish theres more american muscle here

theres almost none here

[prisma drum]

Yeah muscle is cool

I see a ton of it here

[velvet mural]

a lot of mustangs crashing into people i bet

[prisma drum]

You’d be surprised

They really don’t

Only instance here was a c5 vette losing the back end

[white moth]
