Civic Lsi Shoot

[KevHp]

Just a few from a recent shoot I did of an absolutely mint eg Civic rebuilt from a bare shell with no expence spared.

Taken in the salford area of manchester on a nippy sunday evening.

I like the first! Great colours. Is it "natural" lightning?

I used a light box to highlight the side of the car and a hand held flash gun.

The purple light in the background is all natural. The security lights seemed to have a purplish tinge to them so I set them off whilst on long exposure.

It took some effort to filter out all the yellow light from street lights in the foreground.

old school looks like you're shooting Thunderbird 4.
I like it
love the setting too.
did the flash gun reflect off the back of the car/spoiler in #2?

Nice use of backgrounds / location. the colours of the car really pop with the location you've used.

only 'bad point' if im picky is the lighting looking a little obvious for my liking in the second shot...

other than that, as i say the locations are spot on for the car, as are the angles you've shot at.

I definately agree that in the second shot there wasnt much thought in the lighting process. Very basic use of the speedlight. if I had more time I coulda been more creative.

And yes the glare on the rear upper strut brace is caused by the flash.
