Porsche Boxster S

Shot this rather lovely brand new Boxster yesterday evening. Started a bit later than planned so the light was changing and fading fast - still it allowed for a variety of styles to shoot.

This one didnt quite work out so well lighting the car but was trying something different with the background:

Very, very good. No's 2 & 6 stand out as being particularly brilliant to my eye.

Really good set, 4,5 & 6 for me are the pick of the bunch! cant believe how good these new boxsters look.

Wow lush photos and lush car!!

Some nice work there, couple of small points if I may... Be careful of your feet, number 7 and 9 its really obvious, but easy fixes. The cloning on the rigs looks quite untidy, if it helps, after cloning I do a mask then motion blur.

The lightpaint on the last one is nice, and the tones on the first one appeals to me.

Thanks for the tips Kris, you are right i still do struggle sometimes with cloning - need more practice there.

Awesome set, Nice processing on the shots.

As pointed out the cloning on the rig shots, this stands out most in number 5 the the harsh line in the dark cloud gives away where the rig boom was.

Other than that, lush car

Do you have Photoshop Cs5 or later?

If so let photoshop do the most of the work.

Select all the boom but not any bits that overlap the car, then do a content aware fill.

It may be a little rough but then use the clone tool to tidy it up

Thanks Mike I use CS6 and generally not been a great fan of content aware fill - finding the clone tool more effective. Will try using it more I think.

These looks wicked! Great work!! Another user (Alex Farrance) has just got all the parts for his boom so we'll be having a play with that soon hopefully!

Also, I echo what Mike said; Content Aware is great for the majority of the cloning then tidy it up by hand.

Thanks, I think Alex took my old rig-pro boom. Look forward to seeing the results!
