Those are great pics Scott! :thumbsup:

:thankyou:

:lmao:


The Scott G - That looks like such a target rich environment to shoot in.........the images are stunning. :thumbsup:

Thanks for the share and freezing your gear and rear to get them.

Love the machine and rider position in the 8th shot!

Thanks Jody. You know I can post pics all day long. :D



For sure, the Pro's are so much fun to shoot. It can definitely get cold, one of the nights when it got down to -5 ambient, one of my lenses wouldn't focus any longer. lol

Great pics everyone.

For those interested, this will help feed the addiction. ;)

I just set the camera up on the tripod in the garage and screwed around for 20 minutes with a Streamlight inspection light and my wide angle at 14mm f3.5 ISO 100 and 15 to 20 second exposure times to get a feel for it.........

:lol:

With more space, backgrounds, varying f stops, and a collection of light sources it could be fun and deliver some stunning images.

You only need one light source for this type of shooting. Just work on diffusing the light and controlling the spill.

I shoot anywhere from f/8 to f/11 to get a good depth of field, use a shutter speed that allows me to cover the length of the subject in a time that I'm comfortable with, and use ISO to control the overall exposure. Distance to subject and consistent movement is key.

Of course, if I had a huge auto studio and a 30 ft light bank, I wouldn't have to do all of this craziness. lol


I like to use distortion of a wide angle lens or use goofy angles. Here's a direct overhead shot lit using the same technique. The company that wrapped the body wanted to showcase how the wrap was on the deck as well as the roof, so I used a forklift, shot from a pallet, and mounted the camera with a magic arm and got this:

And just for the for the fun of it, here's another overhead shot of the same car:

And a normal shot of the car:

So many options to experiment with! I did one shot with a laser pointer......that has potential but not necessarily for cars.

Thanks for sharing that. :thumbsup:

Going over to a friends place 5 minutes from my house this afternoon.........you'd appreciate his facility: http://www.chambersproductions.com/studios/


And some people say photograpy is boring! :lol:


Panning is something I need to practice a lot more, when done right I love the results. Great shot!


Numerous images of this caliber prove that photography suits you very well. :thumbsup:

Taken after it snowed last weekend. Our rescue pooch 'Buddha Bear' having fun and stopping for a smile.

in the valley!

Ah....... the old "phone shot". Every time I see a really good / great photo and it's identified as having been shot using a phone ----- it reminds me of Steve Rupp. When asked what was the best camera --- his response --- "the one you have with you".

I laugh every time I think about this. He's right of course!

You need to start selling this stuff as big zzz posters!

I LOVE printing huge. It has such an impact.


Some random shots that I've taken over the last few days...

Fantastic pictures, Scott. Love the cargo plane shot.

Now, that's a frightening pose right there. Looks like he's saying, "You'd better get you mf'ing a$$ back jack., before I attack." LOL!! Notice he's in the praying position too.

Now, this is a bad a$$ shot right here. I like it!!:flashie:

Interesting... They must bloom earlier out West than around here. Not to mention the ones springing up here are yellow, or at least the ones at my place are.

Tucker enjoying the view out back tonight........

That is very cool. Cool looking dog.
Are his back paws white like the front as well?

Plus a couple extras.....:lol:

It's sightseeing if there's no fish in the picture.

They serve fish in restaurants....

Not with that view! :action-smiley-027:
