What shutter speed did you use? Nice image.

hi Easton.

How did you light that yellow car? I'm really curious. Of course you could have used an elaborate lighting system, but I'm guessing from the front right and high (as you sit in the car) and from the side controleld with some sort of strip lighting and flags, with a spot on the tail from overhead? Sorry for all the questions, but this image just does something for me.

nothing elaborate, just patient light painting

Easton, Nice job on all four images!! I've shot a car or two and think you're definitely on the right track. The automotive advertising business is pretty challenging due to the economy and cgi, you might think about another area of specialty in addition to cars. By the way I've had no problem at all with my Mamiya 645's and P45, you should be able to find a reconditioned P45 at a somewhat reasonable price. Good luck!! Jim

Thanks Jim!

You're one of those big names who I admire

What other speciality do you think I could concentrate in other than cars? Anyone?

Ideally it'd be something which I could best make use of my car photography knowledge. i.e grungy post production, commercial feel and moody lighting.

Easton, Good question! I happened to choose architecture which amounts to around 10% of my business. I chose it because I love the subject matter and because many of the same skills I've developed in the automotive photography world I can apply to shooting architecture. The decision should be based on what you like to do or else your chance of success will diminish. If you've staying busy shooting cars perhaps it's not an issue but some diversity can't hurt. Jim

I like this picture and keep coming back to it, although I do wonder what it would look like not quite so high key. Also, was it cropped? The lines are very straight for a 12mm.

Thank you, Mark F.
Yeah, the 12mm "raw" is much more distorted. I used PTLens to correct the distortion and then cropped it. Here is the shot, before any editing at all.

Mark F · « **Reply #572 on:** December 17, 2008, 10:10:20 pm »

What a difference. If you hadn't told me I would have thought they were two shots of the same location.

I was hoping that you had found that magic inexpensive 12mm non-distorting lens

Still wonder what the original post would look like not so high key, but I like the shot.

There are some great images presented above, I thought I would add a few of my own, for comment or not..these are from a recent trip in Nov to the SW USA...they were taken with a D300, and either a 12-24mm Tokina or 28 mm Nikon ais...

Taken on the 5D with the Helios 44-2. A fun lens with some crazy bokeh!

I just did some reading on that lens and I really like it. What an interesting lens with interesting history, comrade. I guess these are some super cheap lenses? If so, I'd love to have one for my 1DS3, which I suppose needs a converter ring, since the 44-2 is a 58mm lens, correct? Any more information on those is appreciated. I saw where one was made with the option of manual or auto aperture. So which one do I want? This guy has a entire portfolio with the 44-2:

Thanks for posting that. I like the images too. That lens has a look all its own.

Slightly off topic, but how do you get your photos reduced by so much in a post?

If you upload them using the forum "browse" and "upload" option at lower right on reply, it does it for you.
