for TRUE REAL DEAL BAD FAWKIN ASS AUTOMOTIVE PHOTOGRAPHY that i could not post img tags to see....

http://ruji.net/

http://www.okuproductions.com/

http://www.jeffludes.com/





damn....that took a LONG time to do. i had ALOT more that should have made it into this post but i couldnt get links to them :(

if you have some to add then go for it!

[uproot]

:goodjob:

well, this thread off to a great start

[lanning]

damn

[Dirty Octopus™]

im done.

[CHADbee]

added 3 links to the original post

[EJ_Allmota]

great stuff in the OP.. Chad honestly i believe you have the skill to reproduce several of these images.. A decent amount of them come down to PP style and great glass..

[CHADbee]

im done.

now look me in the eye and tell me im a good photographer :lmao:



:cry:




i quit :tongue1:

[NewGen33]

Arguably the best set of photos posted on here. Repped

[CHADbee]

great stuff in the OP.. Chad honestly i believe you have the skill to reproduce several of these images.. A decent amount of them come down to PP style and great glass..

i appreciate the confidence me khris, i will have some baller glass this weekend so we will see how it works out :cheers:

[SampaGuy]

#10 is that Glides' old car?



#43 I used to see that Weismann all the time when I lived in Munich. That is the Munich stadium in picture too. Pretty cool, bringing back memories here.

[The Youngn]

I was going to just stop at the first picture and rub one out. So glad I looked through the rest now

[swollix]

thread is win.

[bandydesign]

I just looked at JeffLude's site... I'm still sweating! That is unbelievable!!!

Times like these you wonder why you even try lol.

Why is #27 included?? :???:

[CHADbee]

Why is #27 included?? :???:

yeah he has some real skills for sure. it breaks my heart because im not sure if i will ever get to that level :(

i like berry's style. most of his work is with a 200/2 and he does this thing.....focus on the car at F2 and shoot, then focus on the car at F10 and shoot. then use the car from the F10 exposure with the BG of the F2 exposure and it just gives a nasty DOF with a sharp subject that i like. theres another 1 or 2 shots from him there. the one of the veedub i personally liked cause how well the car pop'd from the BG. its far from the best shot of bunch, or even the top 20 of the bunch but i thought it was a decent shot. plus i was trying to get 50 photos for this thread LOL

FOR REAL....im going to bed damn it. lol.

[Sol-Badguy]

Amazing pictures.

And yes, you could pull off that quality.

[DeeAOne]

:eek:



amazing.

[speedminded]

I just looked at JeffLude's site... I'm still sweating! That is unbelievable!!!

Times like these you wonder why you even try lol.

Why is #27 included?? :???:Two things bug me on #27.

1) It's not level. It needs to be rotated clockwise 0.8 to 1 degree. It's one thing to be rotated to make the cars stance more appealing but in this case it's the wrong way.
2) The car was masked and the background darkened slightly, I do prefer that...however, the mask is not close enough to the car leaving a small halo around it. I can't believe someone took the time to process the photo but didn't rotate or mask closer to the car.

Composition is there, lighting is there, & reflections are good with no distractions...just needs better post processing to be up to par with most of the others.



I played with it some here to make it a little more dramatic...

Besides technique, another big part of why these are so appealing is location.

yeah his PP skills are somewhat......bland.....is the word i was going for.

i really like the colors in his edit but your right about it needed a rotation and i like the colors in your edit too.....they are just different edits with different styles ya know.

[5speed]

I know some great places in north Rockdale you might not know about, they are new houses that look like they came out of a Disney movie, palaces and one of them looks like a Gothic cathedral. I think they would be amazing to work with as backgrounds.

[cleanion31]

Chad this is too much for my blood pressure, it gone through the roof!

[boostedb16]

i disagree 100% with these making yours look like shit. the only difference is you dont have a handfull of $100,000 car's to shoot.

[CHADbee]

i was shooting one tomorrow and one sunday :D

rain looks like it going to fuck me up though

[boostedb16]

is it supposed to rain tomorrow? i think there might be a small chance sunday afternoon.

[CHADbee]

is it supposed to rain tomorrow? i think there might be a small chance sunday afternoon.

i MIGHT be able to shoot tomorrow....thats not canceled yet. no way im shooting sunday because the car isnt coming out with a 70% chance of rain.

[boostedb16]
