pro shoot R32

[benno]

I too find it very hard to believe they weren't in some way post processed. I can see that these were light painted and shot at the perfect time, but contrast, saturation etc look like they've been tweaked. Granted, most of the work is done in camera, which I respect as it's how I like to shoot, but every photo needs a final tweak.

And I don't know a single decent photog who doesn't post process in some way.

Beautiful photographs.

Oh and they're not HDR. HDR is a crime.

Yes they have been through photoshop to a small degree, but the effect you see is all done when he takes the photo. He uses either a small flash or a continuous light of some sort (cant remember what he told me now) in a soft box and walks around the car lighting the areas he wants lit.

They are not HDR either, use of a big, soft light the right way gives you that sort of look. There are threads on other forums arguing whether it is photoshop or not and it is definitely not down to any hi jinks using it to get that look.

He did a shoot up here in Brisbane a few months back and I think there was someones red GTi shot then as well, will have to check with him.

Very true. And on that note, thank goodness for lightroom. No idea how I survived before I started using it haha!
