I did a photoshoot of Richard's car (buliarios) for him to remember his little beast.

Location was Caslte Hill, we got kicked out of the first complex after a few photos unfortunately (cameras everywhere). Here are a few from the night. Please enjoy.

WOW good job. I didn't even attempt it. I managed to remove the flash though. Was that all with clone tool and spot heal?

A bit of everything. Not a perfect job but that takes more time and money

Great photos guys! Love them!
And Dave doing his thing as usual

Wow, those pics came out great! Thanks for the camera work, coilovers will be on there way =)

Great pics, nice car too!

LOVE the wheels.

Great photos as usual Sasso.

I'm must waiting for some $$$ and I'll invest on a digital SLR.

I'm really keen to try HDR photography.

Nice shots

I'm a bit of a photographer and will be taking some photos of this car too with my D200, probably the same lens. Looks like you used a 50mm 1.8, and something else for the wider shots - out of interest why did you chose f8? Do you find it sharpest there? Most lenses are at their sharpest 2 stops down, on most zooms or primes this still means more like f5 that wide.

Sasso: should have put the shot in of my old car next to my new car =)

Stefan: You'll have plenty of time to take photos of it when i hand over the keys =P

Gonna miss her though.........

Thanks guys for the feedback

I used a 18-55VR kit lens for most shots, which is too soft and distortiony. I chose f8 just out of habit knowing that its about the sharpest setting on the 50mm prime, though not the sharpest on that lens, so that was a mistake. I hate using that lens. I used the 50mm on only a few photos at the end, and discovered the massive sharpness improvement straight away even wide open, should have used it more. Oh well Richard should be able to make a few posters so as long as he's happy.



As requested.

Was only curious, as I rarely use high appetures and probably should. Love the 50mm 1.8, it's so sharp at like 3.2! Having said that, I rarely use these days it as I have an 18-200 VR and love the convenience and wide angle, even though the bokkeh sucks. My D50's 18-55 non-VR was pretty rubbish compared to the 50mm 1.8.

They really are nice shots, I haven't really taken many car photos before (but will have an excuse to soon... ;) )

this makes me excited
