Been driving around noting photoshoot locations so I have some quick 'go-to' locations. This one of nondescript shots from the test pictures. Will save the good stuff for a proper series and different cars.

Just grab something second hand. Anything will do if you're only starting out. I only started shooting in 09. No real experience prior to that. I failed the photography component at uni back when it was all analog.
Is this photo done just of foreshore drive near port botany?
Benough took me to a place he'd found earlier and I experimented with a totally different way of lighting a car at night. I normally shoot in HDR and let the ambient light do the work. This time I worked with long exposures and a SB900 in various locations in and around the car. Then I complied around 7 of those exposures manually in photoshop.
It's far from a great photo with it's dull composition and low key lighting, but it was great for me to experiment and step out of my comfort zone. I kind of prefer it as a B&W, but will post the colour anyway. On the bright side, this shot led us to an awesome spot just around the corner from here.
Location database is on the grow. ;) Doing another new spot tomorrow thanks to benough yet again. Hopefully have some more interesting things to look at than these experiments.

Got a bunch of great pics today. Going to take me a while to go through them all and decide on how to grade them. In the mean time, here's on that's pretty much as it was shot. Colour was like that from the camera just after the sun dropped.
