Critique Ferrari 488 Pista

I shot this last week using bounced lights off of the ceiling for the rim light shot and a Godox ad200 for the detail images, any CC welcome, you're never to old to learn.

Nikon Z6 24-70

Nice set Dave, for my taste in shot 1 I'd have liked to see a bit more detail in the shadow areas so I could see a bit of the lower half of the car and a bit of detail in the wheels. I ought to add that I couldn't have done such a good job myself but when asked that's my thoughts.

Thanks Paul I’ll have another look.

Don't like any of them!

They make a modern supercar adorned with far too many scoops, bumps, bugles, spoilers look beautiful. These modern cars can't hold a candle to a 1960';s Ferrari in the beauty stakes..

That said (and thsi is a personal preference) I don't like the OOF type roll off in images 3 and 4, it jars with the crisper edges.

Image 1 is stunning

These were my thoughts too. Maybe something white above the camera to bounce a little bit of the ad200 light back?

Absoltely phenomenal. If I had to pick something I'd agree about brightening the shadows in image 1.

Good idea Tim but there usually is enough light to bounce back from the floor to the car so all the info is there in the RAW file so it’s just a case of re-editing the image to brighten the shadows.

Very nice work..... cars okay

 

[cargo]

Those images are fab.

You sure know your game.

Meh. I'd give it a solid 4/7.

...yeah right. Amazing stuff. Love the brake light and how it give off an eye-face sort of vibe.

Would you have considered taking out the text/markings on the window in shot #3?

 

[Steelo]

Stunning images of a stunning car!

Very nice set.
IMO, the bright area at the rear of the window in #1 is too much; and if there was going to be a bright area like that it should be near the logo towards the front.
In #2 the badge highlight area is a bit heavy and artificial looking to me. And in #4 the highlight on the fin has gone gray.
