I have a 24mm lens too. It's the best for landscape imho.

Playing around with my strobes today so I needed a test subject.



And shot my friends car along with him and his wife. Not my most favorite shot but they liked it.

How are the Profoto's treating you? I can tell the power of them from the first shot.

So far so good. For automotive they have been great. I have a photoshoot coming up for SWAT so that will really put them to the test. I have two speed lights I will use as well to bounce off of an umbrella for fill, but the profotos will have to be my hard rim lighting. Will see how they work at distance.

I will say I hate the fact that I cannot plug them in and use them. Really sucks having to recharge. Depending on how things go I might buy Profoto Acute 2R at the end of the year to give me that extra power I am looking for.

That is if I dont buy a GTR haha, otherwise thats where all my money will go.

Thanks man. Yeah my fab guy does amazing work. I asked him to give me rounded edges on the lip because I wanted to paint the tank after and make it look as if it wasn't modified. Same thing with my 0304. I like to have my stunt bikes look like normal bikes, So when I am on the streets I don't attract unwanted attention.

Anyone get a shot of the Perseids last night? I tried but clouds started moving in as it got late.

I dont mind at all. Not sure if it will help with anything or not but;
F11, Iso 64, shutter was about 125.

Used a polarizing filter and took about 3 photos with different rotations. Afterwards a lot of editing lol.

Haven't posted anything in a while because I haven't shot anything in a while. I did travel up to Raleigh about a month ago to shoot a fully restored Porsche 356 for Mecum Auctions. It was a cool little car, and the restoration job was done very well. It sold this past weekend in Monterey, though I don't know for how much...
