1st shot is strange, car doesnt look to have very good lighting..for some reason

2nd shot is so sick!

5th August 2008 - 08:10 PM  Reply  Quote

thanks guys, i think the first evo shot needs alittle more lighting on the right handside of the car

5th August 2008 - 09:01 PM  Reply  Quote

yeah i know ahh u cant turn back time lol

time to buy those pocket wizards so i can spend more time worrying about light placement and comp rather then making sure the flashs fire lol

i hear u matt hope u sorted that thing out . nothing worse than ppl thinking its there rights to use ur images commercially.

i had a guy saving my pics off boost and selling them on magnets and stickers on ebay especially the drags .. even a dvd slide show of most my pics even the spit ones.

bougth an old film camera should be lots of fun

18th August 2008 - 06:24 PM  Reply  Quote

Gee there's a few guys getting back into film..


Why Matt if you don't mind sharing? They're both SLR's except you can't tell if your screwing up in film so you'd waste a whole shoot (unless this is a cheap back-up body?)

I bought a film camera pretty much for practise..im going to limit myself to maybe two rolls of film a trackday and force myself to really think about composition, camera settings as well as not using post processing to make the shot... i think it will make me a better photographer in the long run

we will soon find out
