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.

I thought you shot with a canon.

wilsonp · 08-11-2011, 11:31 PM

I think the moon might be a bit far away for flash

- 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!

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

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.
