Another crack at the M3

[Liberalis]

A couple of months ago I tried to shoot an M3 in black, I was far from happy with the results so went out to try again, the whole shoot took about 45 mins, I really must learn to take my time, anyone else here find themselves rushing?

Anyway, whatya think ?

2nd and last for me although the BG in 2 is a little distracting :shrug: 4 is good too, but 1 is a bit flat, and you were fighting a loosing battle with 3! Although it's a great effort I'd love to get into this sort of shooting..

 

[whitewash]

last 3 are the better shots, the first 2 are wrecked by the backgrounds.


the static doesnt stand out like your previous statics

 

[Dalton]

Pic's three & four for me!



Can't put my finger on why - but something doesn't 'look' right in rest - will have think and come back to it.

Nice Motor too!

 

[Gary]

excellent (as always)

 

[wookey]

the last one for me

Good set there, I think black is a tricky colour to shoot in that light. Anyway my favs are 4 and 5.

 

[ian]

4 & 5 for me due to the BG in the first 2, 3 is very good but the car is to close to the stairs and I found myself looking at the handrail, having said that there beter than anything I've taken so who am i to comment, well done big thumbs up.

 

[desantnik]

Don't care much for the effect on 1,2,4 & 5 - dunno what you have done but it looks like the thing is made out of jelly... ?????

3 doesnt have that problem but the selective desaturation does nothing for me...

Sorry to be so negative!

 

[andrewc]

rubbish...

(just kiddin')

No 2 is my favourite.

 

[mrp]

Good stuff. Love the distracting b\g in 2.

 

[Lady Pitstop]

yep, #2 for me too - have they got any vacancies for drivers? Nice Car!

 

[Venomator]

I didn't see the first attempt Kris ... :shrug: ... but from memory I don't think these are at that 'wow' level I seem to recall you usually produce ...

That said there are one or two fine images in the bunch



... shame about the car though ...

 

[DoubleT]

number 4 for me!,

i think thats a great shot

it feels like youve captured the corner speed very well.


perfect car

 

[Liberalis]

Cheers for the input guys, Ven, these were the old ones:

And this is the one the client went for (and the front page for the motors bit of the local rag)

Appreciate the comments, and always glad to read some honest stuff.

I like the second one you have just posted But then again I believe in the angled shot heresy and no doubt shall be burnt at the stake by the straight shotters now!

Just out of interest, did you chose the black colour for the car or did the client or was it just random?

Might have been easier with a different colour

 

[Liberalis]

I'd never pick black out of summer, this was the clients choice, I've since had a word and slapped him around a little, lol

On the plus side, I'm learning loads with difficult colours and light

 

[dod]

Can see why he's gone for #4 but it's #2 for me, love the background

 

[ab$olut]

I like 1 and 2 the most some great stuff

 

[KellyGT]

i'm liking the last pic the one of the rear of the car, although i never thought i'd find myself complimenting anything regarding a bmw!! hehe

lovely shots!

 

[admirable]

I think the number plate is distracting, perhaps it could be cloned out or the black letters removed?

 

[Liberalis]

Cheers guys, The plate has to stay, it denotes the manx-ness of the car plus on the high res version it also shows the dealers name.

Regards

Kris

I like 3, but the front wheel seems abit too bright, like its been shopped in and not had the levels adjusted
