great looking genesis! My father has the v8 sedan he calls it the "Jenny" :face palm:

so... the camera store sucked me back in... wallet = lighter. Going to attempt moon shots with the 2x teleconverter.

Lol. Now he's just showing off. Nice mods Nitex.:icon17:

I thought you shot with a canon.

I think the moon might be a bit far away for flash :D - though flashing some trees while taking a night photo can be interesting.

What lens are you using with the 2X? I tried mine with my Sigma 105mm and my 70-300 which did better than I expected.

wilsonp 08-11-2011 11:33 PM

Phelan: I think I prefer that shot to the angled one, you're going to make me get a 50mm (or 35mm) prime!

here's a couple pics i took with the 85 f/1.2 L last year in savannah just for comparison. 50mm on a crop body will be about the same focal length since this was on my FF 5D camera:

left the wheel turned the wrong way...sucks. The last two shots are my first time shooting with off camera flash (only have 1 old vivitar 285). I also need a tripod; the cheapy one I found gives me shake still.

I would like to see more highlights in the windows and tires, mirrors/foam core.

I think i learned a few things.. I took this RC pic before i watched the videos, so i think there is much to improve upon when using manual mode. But i tried to use tips from the photoshop tutorial. Here was the result.

Not great but i think my post process is starting to improve.

In lieu of my recent and very small amount of lessons learned, i would have raised my aperture just enough to get all the car in focus, and move the stupid stick. Also, for what ever reason i set my shutter speed at 1/25 using my 50mm. Would it have been better at 1/50th?

I should have manualy set my focus point after moving the stick as well :icon17:

I like where you're going with original idea, More movement, more exaggerated movements, like a 100 mm prime make it look larger than life, these appear like toys-- I get it but make them appear more real use some nice lighting sunset, tungsten lighting shadows go blue add some nice effects :)

Sorry I'm critiquing earlier on, as a professional and to add that extra OOMF to your photos, make sure you clean your gps. Be careful to mix tungsten (3200) strobes 6000k ;) can get nice effects but for cars its ALL ABOUT gradations.

Thanks for the ideas! I have my 105 macro i could try. Only thing i have thats fixed at that length.

So i got a decent mothra shot tonight. And one moon shot with my 70-300 + x2 teleconverter. It did ok... Ill keep trying. I know its realllyyy noisy but.. im just trying to pick up as much detail as possible.
