Great shots again, Bob! My favourites are 'A good day for a ride', 'Rig shot' and 'Mean'.
I like your use of backlight in 'A good day...'. Combined with the warm WB they make for an untypical (muscle) car shot. I would love to ride that car on that road that morning.
Q: The dynamic range in 'A good day...' seems quite high, any PP wizardry involved? And what kind of strobe setup did you use on these shots?
On the Camaro: I think those steel wheels look very purposeful on the car. If it were my car I would definitely not change them for any bling wheels.
Thanks.
On the backlit shot, I used a three exposures, one for the sky, one for the car, and one for the trees/road, and blended them. I didn't have enough time to set up lighting for that shot (which would have been the alternative) for two reasons. One the sun was coming up really quickly, and we needed to get the shot done in minutes, and secondly we were taking up the middle of the road, so had to move everything every time a car came past. Sort of like the street hockey scene in Wayne's World!
The strobes I used for a lot of the shots were two AB800's (Alien Bees). Everything (apart from the portable power) is wireless, which is awesome.
Oh, and a phone shot of the rig set up.
