1999 Ferrari 360 Photos

Last week I had the chance to take photos of a beautiful 1999 Ferrari 360 Modena. Let me know what you think about my photos. http://bit.ly/b8fx8y Any advice or comments on how to improve my photography is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

 

Wow, those are stunning pictures! I love how you make the color pop. What camera(s) and equipment do you use?

I'm trying to work on my photography, and I got a Canon EOS Rebel T1i last November. I'm trying to build up my portfolio by getting some photoshoots, so far 5 Diablo 6.0s, a Murcielago, and now a 360 Spider and an E46 M3.

 

I used my Canon 40D and a Canon 17.55 2.8 lens. The parking garage shots I used a Bogen 055XPROB tripod and a Photix Plato wireless remote for the longer exposures. I made sure the IS was turned off to prevent any shake from the IS system. And for the outside shots I used a Hoya HD circular polarizer filter. The polarizer comes in handy to prevent the sky from being over exposed and unwanted reflections.

And for the post production work I used Adobe Lightroom to tweak the exposure, contrast, and saturation.

If any ferrari guys in san diego want photos taken, hit me up I'd love to add more Ferraris to my portfolio as well.

 

Wow, that's an awesome setup.

I will be sure to let you know if anyone wants some pics!

 

In my opinion, its the composition thats important. But it doesnt hurt to have a nice lens as well.

 

Amen

 

Nice pics, especially the lighting on those indoor shots.

Just fyi, I didn't click on the link when I first saw it as it looks like one of those spam sites I get emailed every week.

 

Great job - colors really pop on my monitor.
My only suggestion is to work on the composition a bit more, the lines on the pavement and the poles in the background take away from the car. Try to find a couple "go to" locations for future shoots in case the place you are meeting isnt great. if you have one, bring a long lens and try using it from back a ways.

 

Thanks for the advice... I had to work around my buddy's video shoot. So where ever the car was parked thats what I had to work with. So I had no control over where the vehicle was placed... Those pavement lines are annoying because the driver didn't park the vehicle properly.Yeah I totally the poles and everything. But next time if I have to shoot a car it has to be totally seperate from the video shoot.

Do you think 70-200 F4 lens would work well or would a prime lens work better?
