Having just got it back on the road after having it written off in October we decided that we'd make use of the nice weather and head out for a photoshoot. Neither of us had a clue what sort of backgrounds we wanted, so we tried a few different places:

#1
10.jpg


#2
17.jpg


#3
28.jpg


#4
29.jpg


#5
36.jpg


#6
39.jpg


Rest are available at:

C&C Please :)
 
Cracking set of pictures there mate. That Polo is LOW :D

What's the car silhouette in your signature btw?

Cracking set Ash, nice and sharp and good choice of locations.

Pick of the bunch for me are 2 and 5.

Thanks :D funny you should say that, his show plates are "PO LOW" haha

Signature is my own R33 Skyline :)
 
I really like #4 & #6 mate.

Was there something to stand on at the location to give you a bit of height to number sixe?

Nope, just reached up in the air as high as I could and had a wild guess at getting the car in the frame, the car ended up a bit high up in the image really, but a crop got rid of a good chunk of foreground :)
 
Number 2 doesn't really do the car justice - it looks excellent in the rest of the set, but in the second shot it looks as if it needs a right good machine polish (the scuff on the bumper right in the middle of the shot adds to this) and it doesn't help having the photographer in full view either :nuts:

Other than that (y)
 
#5 for me. I think this one work far better in terms of composition than the others.

#1 is a nice idea, but its just too dark round the front of the car

Woooaa, I've just seen where some of those are taken! York college, I work at the architects that designed that place
 
I'm liking them, only thing to say for me is in number 3 I'd personally have cropped out the yellow pipe/bar on the left hand side, and maybe removed the grit box from behind the car, not that my PS skills are that great if I'm honest!

Thanks :) Could've been the processing which caused that effect, it was a tad over exposed and I tried to pull it back

Yeah, seem to end up taking quite a few pics there, all the local car owners seem to think it's the best location in York for pics..... :shrug:

Agree with you about #1, but didn't want to use fill flash as I'm not that good at controlling flash and didn't want to lose the detail in the headlights :)

Numbers 4 and 6 are a win for me.

The other's tend to have too close crops for me, nowhere for the car to move into the scene.

Thanks for the comments :) I'll bear it in mind for next time

I thought about cropping the pipe off, but it was way too tightly cropped then. I think next time I go there, I'll choose a different door to shoot at :)
