hehehe, very nice, i like the shoot a lot, but you should try to make it in a tunel or in a city with nice buildings or skyscrapers i know i want much cheers

zzpza In reply to p-and-a [2006-02-08 22:46:31 +0000 UTC]

i'll have to try it sometime - i'm just a little concerned about using the mount at high speed and in built up areas!

p-and-a In reply to zzpza [2006-02-08 23:00:16 +0000 UTC]

you're right...but it's worth to try u need to be at high speed to take pictures like that? you can't just enlarge the exposure time?? it can't be so obvious though Cheers and let me know when you'll make that pic

wow! great shot! I love the colors and the way the lines of the lights are

btw, I think that the small black border is much better for this photo

That's a great shot!!

I can see it looking even more stunning if it had a nice wide black border!

MarkGreenmantle [2005-05-27 03:20:32 +0000 UTC]

This looks great - the only thing I could suggest to improve upon this is to clean and chamois the panels closest to the camera just that little bit more. Perhaps make use of one of those spray on quick shine glassy waxes. Car photography is a damn tricky thing to capture that pro look - it's basically shooting at a series of big warped mirrors.

I'm dead jealous of your Manifrotto suction mount. it'd freak me out to use anything other than a bolt on attachment but I've never seen the suction mounts ability to really hold fast yet.

Looking forward to seeing more of your work

zzpza In reply to MarkGreenmantle [2005-05-28 22:22:47 +0000 UTC]

thanx, and yeah, damn water marks! you couldn't see them directly with the naked eye. they only showed up from a specific angle. car photography's 90% prep and i didn't have the time to give the car as good a going over as i would have liked.

btw, i've had a car up to 40 mph with my 10d SLR and an L series lens attached to it. that was a bit scarey to begin with, but the manfrotto attaches very well.

you mentioned it was 220Volt, so you have to run an inverter in the car to boost the electric output. Would hate the cigarette lighter plug to fall out!

Wow, amazing picture.

So you were driving while you did this with the camera mounted on the car?

It looks like a 70's AOR band album cover to me except better!

O man I'd be way to nervis to have my camera suction cupped to the side of a car. You're a brave/crazy person.
