How could I not have known that! Phase One, yes, here in Detroit the majority of car guys use them. Mostly P45's or P45+'s, not sure if anyone's splurged on the P65 yet. Here's the balance of the 68 Camaro show car. Keith, that's a very interesting image, what is it? Jim

hi jim,
great work!

i like the look just like illustrator art.

cheers

Jim you really are a master vehicle photographer.

Those Camaro shots are so perfect they look like CG! You should put a little dirt on it somewhere

Flagellum

Circles of confusion, then, Keith?

As my Latin(?) sucks, does Flagellum have anything to do with flagellation or am I simply flagging up another monumental error? Oh dear, never mind, it´s very early in the mid-morning for me. That´s another interesting concept that I came across in The da Vinci Code, which despite much criticism, I thoroughly enjoyed. The book, I mean.

I haven´t be visiting this section much of late - somewhat dangerous territory for me at times - but I do think there is quite often some pretty nice stuff on show, particularly the American cars, a youthful daydream of mine long lost in economic reality. Nice to see your work here too!

These are stunning! I was wondering it you mind sharing how you achieved the DOF with the rear view. Its a bit hard to tell with the image that size but it looks like you pretty well have the whole length of the car covered.

It has everything to do with it. A flagellum is a whip-like structure possessed by some bacteria, which they use to move around. Whether that's how it's used in this context, I'm not sure.

Jim, thanks. As is the case for most of my work, it's what you see or you want it to be.

I want it to be a reversed reflection in a non-flat surface of a model in a skimpy swimsuit.

Rob, as kikashi has said, flagellae are whip like structures. Has the image anything to do with flagellation, well, as I said in my previous post, if you imagine it has or want it to be...

Sorry to be picky, but the plural of flagellum (3rd declension, IIRC from more than 30 years ago, like bellum) is flagella. The plural would be flagellae only if the singular were flagella (1st declension, like mensa).

Jim,

I've not been keeping up,

but a while back did you say you're doing these great images with dedolights?

Billy, I don't use dedolights, that was Simon Harper in New Zealand. I use kenoflos and tungsten lights bounced off of flying flats (at least that's how I lit the Camaro images). I agree that the shots can be over imaged a bit but I guess that's my background. Also, since I shot 3 exterior views and 2 details in one day there wasn't much time for experimentation. These were done very quickly by car photography standards, which is something that I'm finding to be the case more often than not. I'm glad they've been received well, I'm happy with them. Jim

Editorial for Valentine's Day, the 1st one is a cover shot. I only had 15 hours from shooting to PP before they print it, so those are a little rough. And of coz I got chocolate splashed all over my studio after this...

Very nice shots!

Dustblue, Nice shots! It has been so long since anyone had posted I was beginning to think that the world's photographers collectively had stopped shooting. Jim

NBP · « **Reply #512 on:** February 13, 2009, 08:47:35 pm »

Cracking shots, Dustblue.

This was my Valentines ad for a client from a year ago...

(lots of text placed around it)

dustblue · « **Reply #513 on:** February 14, 2009, 05:54:49 am »

Thank you guys, I'm a little surprised too, that people didn't post photos here for such a long time...

Here's one from a recent workshop in Canyon De Chelley. Mamiya/Phase P45+, 4 frames converted in C1, then assembled in APP, then final pano tweaked in CS4. Final image is about 18k pixels wide. Can't see them in this 1200 pixel jpeg, but the canyon floor is scattered with horses that will obviously render in a large print. I will print this one, but crop or brush out the park sign on the LH side of the frame.

Cheers,

Here's something I worked on today. It was shot three years ago and for several months I've been planning on imaging the shot. It's really more about retouching then anything else so I've included the original capture to illustrate what can go on with these car pictures. I'll probably revisit it in a couple of days to tweak it a bit more, perhaps play with it in Camera Raw to make it a bit gritty. Jim

Thanks for sharing, Jim.

Do you create the ground and walls with Cinema4D or similar?

Thank you for the examples. I also thank you for keeping the paths. That's a ton of work. Great job. You even put a highlight on the tire. Did the tire's highlight come from another shot?
Do you think you could translate your methodology of lighting and post work to something smaller, let's say a blow dryer?
