Others you may enjoy and not just auto, always good to shoot outside your comfort zone now and again to teach yourself more technique with lighting... hint hint!

YouTube - Hasselblad 2010 - Aston Martin One-77

YouTube - Hasselblad 'Little Miss Innocent' shoot - NOT auto

YouTube - Getting the Shot - Being a little crazy, good for the sole....lol

 

I implied in my post with the image of the QuickRig that someone using a Hasselblad would probably be using a rig like the one I pictured. I highly doubt you're hanging that Hasselblad off a rig with EMT poles, and we're talking about the D3. So I wasnt too far off in my assumption, in my defense.

Either way, welcome, though its unlikely you'll stick around after defending your images for awhile. Prove me wrong and you could be a wonderful asset to this forum I believe.

 

YES! PLEASE stick around. Plus I want to get in touch with you through a PM possibly. If/when I get over to the UK I would love to meet up possibly. My dad is a pilot for Continental and picks up a trip there every so often. However if I went there with him I wouldn't be flying out as the departure taxes there are incredibly high. I'd hop down to Paris and fly out of there probably ha

 

@Ambientlife: Firstly thanks for the links, enjoyed them, especially since there is not much info out there dealing specifically with auto photography, everything else yes, auto photographers usually stick to themselves, things like the rig shot was a closely guarded...

There is one thing of interest that you mention on you site...
I would really like to pick your brain on that sun theory....

 

sick picture. butttttttt... it looks like an rc car to me

 

your so desperate!!

 

Some of you guys are delusional to think that this guys work has anything to do with the type of camera he is using. Its about the creativity and the ideas. And knowing one's limits and pushing them every time you shoot. Respect the work, dont assume that it is "easy". If it were that easy the caliber of work would be everywhere.

And for someone doing heavy editting and not making them a photographer, i think thats a big problem. Post Processing has been apart of photography ever since there was photography. I have spent much more time in teh dark room, than i ever have in photoshop or lightroom. Comping images is not a new inventions, we used to do it with film and cutting cookies to block parts of teh photo paper to get the right image to expose, etc.

To me, Commercial Photographers, are everything that is what photography is, from conception to product. They see what they want before they even setup light or take an image. They are Creative Directors. Its like saying George Lucas isnt a film maker because he uses too much post.

 

fixed

 

We've all came to the same conclusion, I dont think anyone here really truly ever thought it was "all camera"

 

Mmm, think you're rev'ing a little too high there mate, but maybe I'll take the bait so you can sit and judge me or better still you could post some of your stuff and we'll set up a group discussion on whats good and bad.

Truth is... well just get out there and shoot as you'll normally find thats where the action is.
