Porsche Black Cab
Hello,
From this mornings shoot. This was my first time shooting a black car, and lots of variation in metering. I forget to take my hand meter, so all TTL. I was not familiar enough with my newish D70s to change to spot metering, so it was hit and miss, but have about 130 printables, from 371 shots, so pleased with the ratios. It was also my first time out with my new 28-70 beast (also used my 80-200 2.8 ) Please let me know what you think... Here are a few tasters...

Hi, yeah, the second one is one of my favourites, i like the seperation of subject to background.
I'm uploading my shortlist from the shoot (no PP yet) into my pbase. Love if you can give feedback if interested. I learnt a lot today. THanks Oz http://www.pbase.com/oz_beachside/2006_porsche_carrera_cabriolet
thanks to Justin for the tools, and upload tips...
http://www.dslrusers.com/viewtopic.php?p=244084#244084 I have finished a bulk / batch upload of the best selection from this mornings shoot. Love to hear your feedback, and how you think I may improve with a model in some of the pics... thanks Oz http://www.pbase.com/oz_beachside/2006_porsche_carrera_cabriolet
Oz I like the composition of 2 best and the background contrast of 4 best. I think when taking a black car a black road as a backdrop is best avoided, maybe park next to a green park to frame the car better. Nice shots and nice car
thanks Glen. I was going for the path, and grass, and water as the contrast colors, and yes, would love to shoot same on say a grey concrete road, it would also enhance the light reflected off the paint.
I found the daylight was too bright to shoot wide open, so getting bokeh at midday was tough. This was a little easier at longer focal, so the new Beast took a backseat on this on to my 80-200. I'd love to know the difference in image characteristics with the 70-200 VR. I'm going to try again this afternoon, the sky is blue, and will give some more color to the reflection, and backdrop. thanks Oz
Oz will look forward to the next batch. Is it your car? There was some good ones in your portfilio. Did I spy some egg challenge shots in there? Your model has nice skin
