CHADBEE PHOTOGRAPHY: Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Shot(Before and After!)

[CHADbee]

Right before leaving work yesterday I snapped a photo of a friends father’s SL65 AMG Bi-Turbo beast! Last night I was bored at home so I started to do a quick edit for him so he could give his Dad a decent picture of his car. Things got a little out of hand and I ended up doing a pretty intense composite image which resulted in a much better quality photo than even I expected.

Check out the intense before vs after edit on my blog: Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Before and After (http://chadbeephotography.com/blog/2012/02/21/mercedes-benz-sl65-amg-before-and-after/)

You can still clearly see the aluminum siding from the building under the car. This is not a very good shot, based off what I usually see from you. Pretty poorly processed.

Where do you see this at? I got rid of the reflections of the siding on the hood and front bumper as well as through the windows...maybe it is my screen but I can't see siding under the car.

Under the rear bumper you can faintly see the vertical lines of the siding. Probably not noticeable looking at the shot by itself; But when I can look at the original for comparison it is blatantly obvious to me.

Hell, maybe it is just mind games.

Oohhhh yeah that is the reflections in the wet ground. I almost removed those along with the ones that were on the car but they gave the ground some depth and detail. Unless somebody saw the before there is no way they would go "hey that is metal siding reflecting onto the ground!" haha

Thanks for confirming that I'm not retarded.

Its definitely still a quality shot by all means, just a little overdone for me. Keep up the good work.

Really? I thought it came out pretty realistic. I guess I can keep practicing, this was my 1st time doing this. I have been dropping in skies for years but never tried a whole background.

I'm not really a fan of Benz's either but the fact it is a twin turbo V12 makes me happy in the pants lol

You need to rent the studio at Studio Space for a half day, if you are going to do multiple cars. Split the cost between all of the cars, and get good photos. I've been thinking of doing that with a couple of the bikes.
