Old stuff cause my new stuff can't be released under an NDA for another year FML.

if not hrd then what would it be called?
i think he was going for that look or he would just not use the strobes.

Its not using tone blending or some algorithm to blend I'm talking cutting out the parts that don't match as well and replacing them. Also lighting a car isn't solely about making the car brighter than the background. Its more that that, accenting shapes/curves with hightlights and and controlling where the light goes is huge too. Which is why I use both lights and multiple exposures.

Here is an example of what I am talking about.
This is one of 6 shots used to make the final image.


Its not the best example because I swapped the background scenery as well but I'm sure you can infer my point from it.

Good shit man, good shit. Ive waited a while to see an unedited rig shot, most photogs dont like to let those slip out.

Not too many capture secrets left in the community now lol. A lot of the guys I admire now kill it in post. I wish I had their ps skills.

[VicSkimmr]

Canon 40D, siggy 150 f/2.8 macro

completely agree.

Jeff Ludes "shoots" a ton of CGI now-a-days. It's become a graphic design profession almost.

NIcely done above, a little cartoony for me, though.

Blending shots is something I really need to work on, having one strobe is a PITA:

Daniel, right? I hate how it moves off of 10mm so easy. lol

Is this a house in Midland? It seems really familiar.

Ok, I've think my grandpa did that with a cemetery shot where the sky and the ground where perfect. Great work. Feel free to give me some CC whenever I post.

Trees growing out of trunk and roof! :tsk: Also You should take another 2 shots one that exposes your background and pavement nice and one that exposes the sky nicely. Then blend the 3 exposures. Its like hdr but less fake looking and It won't contrast your strobes so hard making the shot look more natural.

Hey Grant :finger: Also, how many hours into that rig shot? lol

I had the car at that location and I figured fuck the poles/tree at that point. Same location as the Camaro so I didn't want to mimic the same shots. Also, I love me dark skies.

Grosse Point.

^ eh. I'm not sure what it is that just isn't doin' it for me. Red is sorta blown out and the ground/bkgd is a little flat. :/

Filled my friends room for april fools. It was a boring night, haha.
