CHADBEE PHOTOGRAPHY: NISMO 370Z, Done Right!

ChadB@Forged · 05-09-2012, 09:21 PM

After taking a four month break from doing anything related to Chadbeephotography.com I started to feel the need to try and capture some photos that would really push myself further as a photographer. This past weekend I gave into the craving and grabbed the key to the Forged Performance 370Z NISMO and headed out to scout for a location. By 7pm I made my way up interstate 575 and out of the Atlanta suburbs, after a 30 minute drive I picked a totally random exit and started my search for a spot. Within a few minutes I drove past this closed down factory that was very rustic and industrial. It was the perfect backdrop to accent this clean modern Z equipped with Hyper Bronze Volk RE30’s, StopTech big brake kits and JRZ Coilover System. I carefully maneuvered the car into position and went to work, this is the result:

Please see the CHADBEE PHOTOGRAPHY BLOG for desktop wallpapers and a pretty cool original photo vs edited photo to show how in-depth the post processing techniques I use.

Enjoy and please let me know what you think!

Nice photos. Good job!

Did you use some strobes? or just available lighting?

Thank you. I forgot to charge my vegabond(FAIL!) so I wasn't able to use my AB800's so I used a single Nikon SB800 Speedlight and multiple exposures.

Well it worked very well. I was thinking about some Vegabonds for myself. Have 2 AB 1600's... Overkill, I know...

Less power and more lights seam to work better, I have three AB800's and it works very well for me.

The only reason this worked was it was nice ambient light and I used a tripod, timer and multiple exposures on a light colored car.
