Painting a car - Mustang 66 (Have another look Gerry!)

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Painting a car - Mustang 66 (Have another look Gerry!)

Postby surenj on Thu Aug 20, 2009 2:03 am

My favourites from a very successful minimeet!

Thanks for photopotamus and Jeremy for supplying a better than average car! :mrgreen:

TEchnically these don't seem to be a very difficult to take but, it's hard to accurately reproduce the colours of the car. This may have to do with my white balance and it would have been good to have a gray card or something to keep colours true. But then, is there an inherent digital vs red problem?

CnC appreciated...

nice shots there...I think I spent too much time chatting with people and not enough time experimenting with different angles....

Cameron, I'll bring some gaffa tape for the airplane mini meet! Otherwise we'll never get any photography done! :mrgreen:

I do agree about not taking too many shots! I was shocked to find out that I only took 42 shots!!! Meaning of life... I wonder what that means... ? :chook:

gaffa tape :) yep that has multiple uses :shock:

Surenj, that side on profile shot is heaps better than my attempt, it was quite hard to aviod those reflection at that angle, you have done well on this one.

s there an inherent digital vs red problem?


It is interesting to see the different colours between the cameras and images posted!

Nice work with #2! I have looked at all the red car images posted so far and this image is the one I like best.

Gerry, I was obscuring the potential reflections by having myself inbetween the softbox and the camera. I did get the odd reflection from the boats and what not...

In all honesty I think Gerry had the best photos. 8)

I suppose it was worth almost getting run over by the coppers!

Thanks Matt for your comments.



Cameron picked up an anomaly in my photos. :wink: Interesting that no one else who attended picked this up... :mrgreen:

at the very least you could have got some good compo claims on it :wink: I reckon that side on shot is very nice, quite a bit harder, technically speaking, that the typcial 3/4 shots...

In all honesty I think Gerry had the best photos.


:cheers:
