The lighting looks so even across the car! Looks really good :D Softboxes?

A handful of my recents considering i haven't posted in ages!

Nope, bare flashes with no photoshopping out flare or anything. Just some tweaks in Lightroom.

when you look up at buildings it causes them to distort, if you try and keep the shot a little flater it wont distort as muchk, i know you want to compose it where the building is perfectly in the shot but you may need a wider lens to really get a great composition. check out julius shulman
i saw a movie about his work and he mentioned what i had said,

not a great shot i did do a little editing to correct the distortion on it.

It was foggy, so some of the fireworks were up in the fog its self. I was also playing around with exposure and ISO. I ended up turning the long exposure noise reduction off, that was a double edged sword. Yes, I could shoot more pics quickly, however they had lots of grain to them even though I was shooting no more than ISO 200, but mostly 160 or less. I did futz with the exposure and fill light in lightroom a little on some of the shots. I also adjusted the white balance (that had some interesting results, full color changes of some of the fireworks.)

I shot 160+ pics, I posted at random, so the editing may or may not have been good depending on where they were in the group. Still, in full size you can tell where I turned the noise reduction off. The background lights started doing odd things.

Wife took this. Watch out I have an iPhone and a 300mm f/2.8L! And proper photography stance adds 1 stop of Image Stabilization.
