''So'' ''I'''''ve'' ''tried'' ''to'' ''photograph'' ''our'' '''car' ''in'' ''such'' ''a'' ''way'' ''as'' ''they'' ''look'' ''in'' ''the'' ''magazines''. ''Clear'' ''shapes'', ''cut'' ''edges'', ''soft'' ''gradient'' '''reflections'''. ''Obsessed'' ''as'' ''I'' ''am'' ''with'' ''painting'' ''with'' '''light''', ''I'' ''tried'' ''that''. ''I'' ''tried'' ''different'' ''approaches'' ''and'' ''used'' ''the'' ''whole'' ''spectrum'' ''of'' '''light'''-''painting'' ''techniques'' ''I'' ''know'', ''nothing'' ''yielded'' ''anything'' ''useful''. ''What'' ''I'' ''want'' ''is'' ''something'' ''like'' ''this'', ''for'' ''example''.
''It'' ''seems'' ''to'' ''me'' ''that'' ''what'' ''I'' ''need'' ''is'' ''one'' ''huge'' ''diffused'' '''light''' ''source'', ''like'' ''a'' ''gigantic'' ''softbox''? ''Or'' ''do'' ''you'' ''know'' ''some'' ''other'' ''way'' ''to'' ''achieve'' ''this'' ''with'' ''my'' ''beloved'' ''torchlight''?

''a'' ''while'' ''back'' ''someone'' ''posted'' ''images'' ''shot'' ''with'' ''and'' ''without'' ''a'' ''polarizing'' ''filter''. ''They'' ''were'' ''both'' ''outside'' ''but'' ''the'' ''results'' ''were'' ''outstanding''. ''I'' ''think'' ''if'' ''you'' ''had'' ''a'' ''good'' ''background'' ''outdoors'' ''might'' ''work''.
...''But'' ''I'' ''really'' ''have'' ''no'' ''clue'' :''0P''

''unfortunately'' ''it'' ''has'' ''very'' ''little'' ''to'' ''do'' ''with'' ''lighting'', ''but'' ''mostly'' ''it'' ''has'' ''to'' ''do'' ''with'' ''photoshop'' ''skills''.

''like'' ''this'' ''image''..''purple'' ''prowler

''was'' ''made'' ''from'' ''this'' ''image''..''prowler

''wich'' ''was'' ''made'' ''from'' ''this'' ''image''...''original

''there'' ''was'' ''terrible'' ''lighting'' ''there'', ''I'' ''had'' ''to'' ''shoot'' ''this'' ''image'' ''on'' ''a'' ''tripod'' ''with'' ''4'' ''sec'' ''exposure''.
06/15/2006 05:13:08 PM · #4
''It'' ''can'' ''be'' ''done'' ''in'' ''camera'', ''but'' ''you'' ''need'' ''some'' ''very'' ''large'' ''lights''...

''I'' ''visited'' ''a'' ''studio'' ''a'' ''few'' ''years'' ''ago'' ''that'' ''was'' ''set'' ''up'' ''for'' ''a'' ''hotrod'' ''shoot'', ''they'' ''had'' ''four'' '''light''' ''banks'' ''with'' ''20'''''x20''' ''difusers'' ''on'' ''them'' ''hanging'' ''in'' ''the'' ''ceiling''... ''Serious'' ''stuff''.

''If'' ''it'''''s'' ''your'' ''own'' '''car' ''you'' ''could'' ''suspect'' ''a'' ''huge'' ''bit'' ''of'' ''white'' ''fabric'' ''over'' ''it'' ''in'' ''the'' ''back'' ''yard'' ''to'' ''act'' ''as'' ''a'' ''diffuser'' ''on'' ''a'' ''sunny'' ''day'', ''that'' ''might'' ''get'' ''you'' ''what'' ''you'' ''want'', ''but'' ''it'''''d'' ''have'' ''to'' ''be'' ''large'', ''30'''''x30''' ''I'' ''imagine''... ''And'' ''you'''''d'' ''still'' ''have'' '''reflections''' ''on'' ''the'' ''sides'' ''of'' ''the'' '''car'..

''Asside'' ''from'' ''that'', ''what'' ''Dan'' ''said''... ''Photoshop''.

''I'' ''second'' ''that'', ''only'' ''problem'' ''is'' ''that'' ''you'' ''can'' ''usually'' ''only'' ''get'' ''either'' ''the'' ''window'' ''clear'' ''of'' '''reflections''' ''or'' ''the'' ''paint'', ''usually'' ''not'' ''both''. ''Cars'' ''can'' ''be'' ''difficult'' ''but'' ''as'' ''was'' ''also'' ''mentioned'', ''your'' ''photoshop'' ''skills'' ''can'' ''totally'' ''save'' ''a'' ''questionable'' ''image'' ''with'' ''the'' ''cloning'' ''and'' ''such''.

''good'' ''luck

''What'' ''if'' ''you'''''re'' ''in'' ''nature''? ''They'' ''don'''''t'' ''use'' ''softboxes'' ''there'' ''and'' ''have'' ''perfectly'' ''smooth'' ''gradients''.

''they'' ''can'' ''use'' ''GIANT'' ''diffusers'' ''in'' ''nature''.

''I'' ''think'' ''I'' ''found'' ''out'' ''that'', ''in'' ''nature'', ''all'' ''you'' ''need'' ''is'' ''to'' ''put'' ''the'' '''car' ''in'' ''the'' ''shadow'' ''of'' ''something'' ''large''. ''If'' ''you'' ''have'' ''a'' ''clear'' ''sky'', ''but'' ''no'' ''direct'' ''sunlight'', ''you'' ''get'' ''those'' ''smooth'' ''gradients''. ''The'' ''only'' ''problem'' ''are'' ''the'' '''reflections''', ''you'''''d'' ''need'' ''to'' ''be'' ''on'' ''top'' ''of'' ''some'' ''hill'' ''or'' ''something'' ''like'' ''that'', ''where'' ''the'' ''surroundings'' ''don'''''t'' ''reflect'' ''in'' ''the'' '''car'.

''I'' ''guess'', ''I'''''d'' ''better'' ''step'' ''in'' ''here'' ''having'' ''spent'' ''13'' ''years'' ''as'' ''advertsiing'' ''manager'' ''for'' ''two'' '''car' ''manufacturers''.

'''Reflections''' ''are'' ''the'' ''big'' ''issue''. ''Because'' ''the'' ''perfect'' '''car' ''surface'' ''is'' ''very'' ''shiny'' ''and'' ''reflective'', ''they'' ''are'' ''going'' ''to'' ''collect'' ''everything'' ''and'' ''bounce'' ''it'' ''straight'' ''back'' ''at'' ''you''. ''For'' ''this'' ''reason'', ''a'' ''lot'' ''of'' '''car' ''shots'' ''are'' ''taken'' ''using'' ''drive''-''in'' ''studios'' ''and'' ''a'' ''soft'' ''box'' ''type'' ''diffuser'' ''screen'', ''that'' ''is'' ''bigger'' ''than'' ''the'' '''car', ''slung'' ''from'' ''the'' ''ceiling''. ''Then'' ''you'' ''have'' ''to'' ''spend'' ''at'' ''least'' ''a'' ''day'' ''working'' ''and'' ''painting'' ''with'' ''lights'' ''to'' ''get'' ''it'' ''right''.

''For'' ''external'' ''and'' ''road'' ''shots'', ''you'' ''tend'' ''to'' ''end'' ''up'' ''in'' ''wide'' ''open'' ''space'' ''locations'' ''where'' ''a'' ''distant'' ''horizon'' ''forms'' ''the'' ''cut'' ''line'' ''reflected'' ''in'' ''the'' ''side'' ''of'' ''the'' '''car'.

''For'' ''detail'' ''shots'', ''all'' ''sorts'' ''of'' ''tricks'' ''have'' ''to'' ''be'' ''used''. ''In'' ''some'' ''cases'' ''the'' ''nice'' ''bright'' ''shiny'' ''paint'' ''gets'' ''sprayed'' ''with'' ''a'' ''dulling'' ''spray'' (''its'' ''hell'' ''to'' ''get'' ''off'' ''too''!). ''Most'' ''of'' ''the'' ''interiors'' ''for'' ''brochures'' ''which'' ''look'' ''so'' ''casual'' ''take'' ''two'' ''days'' ''to'' ''set'' ''up'', '''light''' ''and'' ''shoot''.

''It'' ''is'' ''a'' ''fascinating'' ''and'' ''challenging'' ''area'' ''of'' ''photography'' ''as'' ''so'' ''much'' ''depends'' ''on'' ''your'' ''making'' ''that'' '''car' ''look'' ''good'' ''enough'' ''to'' ''eat'' - ''after'' ''all'' ''we'''''re'' ''asking'' ''people'' ''to'' ''hand'' ''over'' ''a'' ''lot'' ''of'' ''money'' ''and'' ''the'' ''competition'' ''is'' ''deadly'' ''fierce''.

''I'' ''still'' ''enjoy'' '''car' ''photography'' ''as'' ''you'' ''can'' ''probably'' ''see''
''and''

''As'' ''you'' ''can'' ''see'' ''from'' "''Black'' '''Light'''", ''strong'' '''light''' ''and'' ''shadows'' ''can'' ''work''.

''I'' ''should'' ''just'' ''mention'', ''for'' ''those'' ''whose'' ''answer'' ''is'' "... ''to'' ''be'' ''good'' ''at'' ''photoshop'' ..." ''that'' ''none'' ''of'' ''the'' ''photography'' ''that'' ''I'' ''started'' ''doing'' ''in'' ''the'' ''80'''''s'' ''had'' ''any'' ''didgital'' ''manipulation'' ''at'' ''all''. ''Most'' ''were'' ''shot'' ''on'' ''2'' ''1''/''4'' ''square'' ''format'', ''double''-''page'' ''speads'' ''were'' ''done'' ''4x5'' ''and'' ''all'' ''were'' ''transparencies''. ''What'' ''that'' ''means'' ''is'' ''that'' ''what'' ''goes'' ''into'' ''the'' ''camera'' ''is'' ''what'' ''goes'' ''into'' ''the'' '''magazine'. ''Why'' ''transparencies''? ''It'' ''is'' ''a'' ''tranparency'' ''that'' ''is'' ''scanned'' ''for'' ''colour'' ''separations'' ''which'' ''printing'' ''plates'' ''are'' ''made'' ''from''. ''Reflective'' ''copy'' (''i''.''e''. ''Prints'') ''cannot'' ''be'' ''used'' ''as'' ''the'' ''quality'' ''is'' ''too'' ''poor''. ''Digital'' ''manipulation'' ''only'' ''started'' ''to'' ''become'' ''commonplace'' ''from'' ''about'' ''1987'' ''onwards''. ''It'' ''wasn'''''t'' ''very'' ''good'' ''and'' ''was'' ''hideously'' ''expensive''.

''I'' ''experimented'' ''back'' ''in'' ''Feb'' ''with'' ''this'' ''idea''. ''You'' ''can'' ''see'' ''some'' ''of'' ''my'' ''shots'' ''on'' ''my'' ''blog'' ''Here

''I'' ''used'' ''a'' ''polarizing'' ''filter'' ''at'' ''different'' ''angles'' ''to'' ''get'' ''these'' ''shots'' ''and'' ''a'' ''flash''. ''Hope'' ''that'' ''helps'' ''a'' ''little''.


06/17/2006 09:04:19 AM · #11
''Not'' ''sure'' ''if'' ''these'' ''would'' ''help'', ''but'' ''here'''''s'' ''a'' ''few'' ''I'''''ve'' ''taken'' ''over'' ''the'' ''past'' ''couple'' ''of'' ''weeks''...


06/17/2006 09:34:25 AM · #12
''In'' ''the'' ''industry'' ''that'' ''I'' ''rep''., ''and'' ''am'' ''disapointed'' ''with'', ''I'' ''have'' ''in'' ''the'' ''past'' ''worked'' ''with'' '''car' ''ads'' ''and'' ''commercials''.

''First'' ''thing'' ''to'' ''know'' ''is'' ''the'' '''car'(''s'') ''were'' ''super'' ''duper'' ''clean''. ''Almost'' ''glass'' ''like''.

''On'' ''moving'' ''shots'', ''there'' ''was'' ''a'' '''camera'' '''car'' ''that'' ''followed'' ''the'' ''subject'' '''car' ''around'' ''for'' ''the'' ''close'' ''ups''. ''Along'' ''with'' ''the'' ''camera'', ''some'' ''sort'' ''of'' '''light''' ''was'' ''rigged'' ''to'' ''help'' ''bring'' ''up'' ''the'' ''highlights'' ''of'' ''the'' '''car'.

''On'' ''stage'', ''a'' ''huge'' ''softbox'' ''usually'' ''was'' ''above'' ''the'' '''car' ''along'' ''with'' ''a'' ''key'', ''fill'' ''and'' ''back'' '''light'''. ''Then'' ''depending'' ''on'' ''the'' ''DP'' ''at'' ''the'' ''time'', ''other'' ''lights'' ''were'' ''put'' ''in'' ''strategic'' ''places'' ''to'' ''bring'' ''up'' ''parts'' ''of'' ''the'' '''car' ''for'' ''the'' ''camera'' ''to'' ''see'', ''i''.''e''. ''under'' ''the'' '''car', ''drivers'' ''side'', ''passenger'' ''side'', ''back'', ''engine'', ''grill'', ''wheels'', ''rear'', ''ect''..

''By'' ''the'' ''time'' ''we'' ''were'' ''done'' ''lighting'', ''there'' ''may'' ''be'' ''a'' ''dozen'' ''or'' ''more'' ''lights'' ''burning'' ''on'' ''one'' '''car'.

''The'' ''same'' ''went'' ''for'' ''still'' ''projects''. ''A'' ''plain'' ''bg'', ''a'' ''softbox'' ''overhead'', ''some'' ''hot'' ''lights'' ''highlighting'' ''areas'' ''of'' ''the'' '''car', ''strobes'' ''for'' ''the'' ''key'' ''and'' ''back'' ''lights'', ''ect''..

''Just'' ''remember'' ''not'' ''to'' ''have'' ''a'' ''hot'' '''light''' ''on'' ''one'' ''particular'' ''part'' ''of'' ''the'' '''car' ''for'' ''a'' ''long'' ''period'' ''of'' ''time''. ''It'' ''may'' (''or'' ''may'' ''not'') ''bubble'' ''the'' ''paint''.
06/17/2006 10:12:13 AM · #13
''Pics'' ''like'' ''the'' ''brochures'' ''and'' ''ads'' ''are'' ''probably'' ''beyond'' ''the'' ''means'' ''of'' ''us'' ''amateurs''. ''I'' ''read'' ''of'' ''one'' ''studio'' ''in'' ''california'' ''that'' ''is'' ''just'' ''for'' ''cars'' - ''a'' ''50foot'' ''by'' ''11'' ''foot'' ''20'',''000'' ''wattsecond'' ''softbox'' ''was'' ''hung'' ''from'' ''the'' ''celing'' ''and'' ''movable''.

''I'''''d'' ''be'' ''happy'' ''replicating'' ''the'' ''look'' ''you'' ''see'' ''in'' '''car' ''magazines'' ''on'' ''their'' ''test'' ''drives'' - ''the'' ''last'' ''few'' ''issues'' ''of'' ''which'' ''I'''''ve'' ''seen'' ''some'' ''pretty'' ''sucky'' ''pics'' - ''so'' ''i'' ''guess'' ''they'' ''hired'' ''somebody'' ''new''? ''I'' ''don'''''t'' ''have'' ''a'' '''car' ''worthy'' ''of'' ''using'' ''for'' ''portfolio'' ''shots'' (''93'' ''taurus'' ''w''/''rust'', ''96'' ''caravan'' ''w''/''rust'', ''90'' ''jeep'' ''w''/ ''battle'' ''scars'') - ''and'' ''clean'' ''and'' ''shiny'' ''matters''.

''I'' ''got'' ''a'' ''few'' ''detial'' ''shots'' ''at'' '''car' ''shows'' - ''I'' ''may'' ''approach'' ''one'' ''or'' ''two'' ''of'' ''the'' ''owners'' ''at'' ''the'' ''next'' '''car' ''show'' -''free'' ''prints'' ''for'' ''some'' ''time'' ''in'' ''the'' ''park'' ''taking'' ''pics''.

'''Reflections''' ''are'' ''still'' ''the'' ''issue''.

''I'' ''think'' ''pleasing'' ''shots'' ''of'' ''cars'' ''can'' ''be'' ''had'' ''by'' ''amatuers'' ''without'' ''access'' ''to'' ''studios'' ''and'' ''tons'' ''of'' ''specialized'' ''lighting''. ''Just'' ''depends'' ''on'' ''what'' ''you'' ''are'' ''after''. ''The'' ''correct'' ''weather'' ''conditions'' ''can'' ''provide'' ''strong'' ''but'' ''diffuse'' '''light''', ''think'' ''mid''-''day'' ''or'' ''early'' ''afternoon'' ''when'' ''it'''''s'' ''overcast'' ''but'' ''very'' ''bright''. ''Think'' ''of'' ''the'' '''reflections''' ''off'' ''the'' ''cars'' ''surfaces'' ''as'' ''somthing'' ''to'' ''be'' ''controlled'' ''rather'' ''than'' ''something'' ''to'' ''be'' ''eliminated''. ''The'' ''right'' '''reflections''' ''can'' ''improve'' ''your'' ''shot'' ''just'' ''as'' ''the'' ''wrong'' ''ones'' ''can'' ''be'' ''a'' ''distraction''. '''Car' ''shows'' ''can'' ''be'' ''a'' ''place'' ''to'' ''pick'' ''up'' ''ideas'' ''but'' ''the'' ''cars'' ''are'' ''usually'' ''too'' ''close'' ''together'' ''to'' ''get'' ''clean'' ''shots''. ''Close'' ''shots'' ''with'' ''a'' ''wide'' ''angle'' ''can'' ''give'' ''interesting'' ''distorations'' ''to'' ''your'' ''subject''. ''Some'' ''paint'' ''colors'' ''used'' ''on'' ''cars'' ''are'' ''a'' ''lot'' ''more'' ''photogenic'' ''than'' ''others'', ''the'' ''guys'' ''who'' ''shoot'' ''for'' ''the'' ''ads'' ''can'' ''choose'' ''but'' ''we'' ''may'' ''not'' ''always'' ''be'' ''able'' ''to''. ''Shooting'' ''down'' ''at'' ''a'' '''car' ''from'' ''a'' ''small'' ''step'' ''ladder'', ''the'' ''bed'' ''of'' ''a'' ''pickup'', ''or'' ''even'' ''a'' ''second'' ''story'' ''window'', ''can'' ''give'' ''a'' ''shot'' ''where'' ''the'' ''ground'' ''is'' ''the'' ''only'' ''background'' ''you'' ''have'' ''to'' ''contend'' ''with''.

''Here'''''s'' ''a'' ''couple'' ''of'' ''challenge'' ''entries'' ''where'' ''I'' ''thought'' ''the'' '''reflections''' ''helped'' ''my'' ''score''.

''Thanks'' ''for'' ''all'' ''your'' ''comments'', ''I'' ''appreciate'' ''the'' ''advice''. ''The'' ''studio'' ''option'' ''is'' ''not'' ''available'' ''to'' ''me'', ''the'' ''open'' ''space'' ''method'' ''sounds'' ''most'' ''interesting''. ''Nonetheless'' ''I'' ''found'' ''a'' ''completely'' ''different'' ''workaround''. ''You'''''ll'' ''see'' ''the'' ''results'' ''on'' ''Wednesday''.

''There'' ''is'' ''a'' ''product'' ''made'' ''by'' ''a'' ''couple'' ''differant'' ''companies'' ''called'' "''Dulling'' ''Spray''".

''It'' ''is'' ''a'' ''spray'' ''that'' ''not'' ''only'' ''dulls'' ''the'' ''hotspots'' ''of'' ''bad'' ''highlights'', ''but'' ''also'' ''can'' ''take'' ''away'' '''reflections'''.

''You'' ''can'' ''find'' ''this'' ''spray'' ''at'' ''any'' ''art'' ''store'' $''15'' ''USD''.

''And'' ''the'' ''groomers'' ''hated'' ''it''! ''Especially'' ''if'' ''we'' ''needed'' ''the'' '''car' ''in'' ''the'' ''next'' ''shot'' ''and'' ''were'' ''putting'' ''the'' ''pressure'' ''on'' ''them'' ''to'' ''hurry'' :)

''The'' ''other'' ''thing'' ''I'' ''should'' ''reinforce'' ''is'' ''the'' ''photog'''''s'' ''ability'' ''to'' ''select'' ''the'' ''colour'' ''of'' ''the'' '''car' ''to'' ''shoot''. ''It'' ''is'' ''almost'' ''always'' ''silver'' ''or'' '''light''' ''beige''. ''You'' ''can'' ''add'' ''colour'' ''to'' ''the'' ''shot'' ''when'' ''you'' ''have'' ''a'' ''neutral'' ''coloured'' '''car' ''but'' ''your'' ''options'' ''are'' ''much'' ''more'' ''limited'' ''with'' ''a'' ''strong'' ''coloured'' '''car'.

''I'' ''appreciate'' ''Gloda'' ''that'' ''you'' ''weren'''''t'' ''seeking'' ''the'' ''studio'' ''option'', ''but'' ''I'' ''hope'' ''we'' ''explained'' ''why'' ''sometimes'' ''a'' ''seemingly'' ''casual'' (''and'' "''easy''") ''shot'' ''is'' ''anything'' ''but''
