Photo Booth

[Marsss]

If anyone is interested in taking pics of their car in a proper photo booth, i have acces to the one where i work.. there's also a car wash facility there so you can shine yr car up prior to shooting it.

There is, of course, a small fee for it's use and you must supply yr own camera.

PM me if yr interested

kthnx.

You also need to bring your own lighting to get it to look like the pro's do.

Studio's are great. Freakin awesome if you know what you're doing and have all the equipment. I'll gladly do a studio session with anyone's car. But it'll cost a lot of money to do.

Reflections play a key part. Even more so in a studio environment, because you don't want the lights showing up in the paint, but conversely you want the light to show off the lines of the car by reflecting. So things get a bit difficult. Lots of time is involved too.

Sure you can just rock up and start shooting with an onboard flash, but you'll get better results in an industrial park in the fading afternoon sunlight IMO.

This is what a studio setup looks like:

See those lights? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

wil

some floodlights and some bits of white cardboard mounted onto plywood

[wilch]

Yeah, but that makes the post work take so much longer. I hate working with warm lights.

lol

it was a joke

but i guess if you used a grey card to set the WB it wouldn't take so long...

but yeah, i know what you mean about working with warm lights

the ones i use at work make it so much easier to get accurate colours
