i dont get why people need a macro for cars….unless you want just a picture of the 6 in the 6.3 on the fender badge it's not neccessary
I loved this video. I can move the car or have the owner reposition the wheels, doors, etc. I'm a hobbyist, and by no means advanced, so the ideas and poses he gave are going to be useful at my next car show. Best car photo video I've seen on youtube thus far.
Cool tutorial, what do you say about my pictures? Have a look on my instagram gallery @rudi90_photos
What about the LIGHT? Any dufus can shoot a silver car. They're easy. Let's see him light & shoot a black one, then a white one.
The steering wheel.
to be honest, I do not call this a bad photographer. but he really sucks at editing
So he claims he wants the aperture to stay the same but then goes on to say you want to be in Tv or manual mode. Tv will make the aperture auto so that's not what you want. The so called hdr shot is not what I see when looking at the car with my hdr eyes, that was rubbish.
This is so cool… I shoot cars for my work but clearly they aren't like this and the lighting is so non existent I wish I even had a quarter this to work with. What a sick job you have with those kinds of cars!!
Now THAT is a big scrim
Should i have low aperture when doing car photography???
Anyone able to tell what wide angle lens he is using and what camera?
What lens did u use
lots of ahole haters on here, but I thought it was very good info and shots overall
are you using a wide angle 24mm? or standard zoom?
what lens would you recommend for static car photography?
Sls ???
8:08 "A nice HDR". OMG that photo is as bad as those overfiltered beach pics that teens post on Instagram it hurts my eyes
Pretty hopeless
You changed your aperture when bracketing your photos….didn't you say not to do that? You can even see it changing on your camera haha. Bloody hell, I would kill to have an overhead lighting rig and a nice car like that to shoot….what a waste.
GOD this guy has a lot of cool techniques but these shots are just crappy AS FUCK! And the edits are even worse…
I would be too distracted with the beauty of that piece of art…but great tutorial!
soft box, even lighting, if you're at a car show, drift event, road america during an IMSA event, you don't have these perfect conditions.
Great shots!
Where can we find the pictures showed in the video? Can we download them somewhere?
no mater how him shoots, when the car is good, the result is good. :v
Thank you!!!!
really enjoyable video! thanks
GAAAAAAYYYYY
Awesome tutorial but for fuck's sake don't wipe a car with a dry rug unless you're drying it.
