Been a while since I posted photos up. Here are some of my photos of chipgrafx MINI from a photo shoot at Red Rock Canyon during AMVIV.

What did you do to your wings to get them red? Cover them in vynal? They look good, just like the pictures. Very nice.

Chip's ride is looking pimp. No comment on the photography. No use repeating what has been said before.

Amazing car and amazing photography. I like the use of small depth of field in the third (front view) photo to make the car look even more well focused. The red logo compliments the black car.

Great shots Dave!

Pics 1 & 6 have that High Dynamic Range look. I like them. The shadows in those background mountains really turned out well. Of course, I'm a bit of a sucker for that DoF you have going.
Also, I'm curious whether any extra lighting was used in that first pic.

My favorite pic? Number 4. That one really drew a smile from me. I like your use of the grating to counter balance the MINI's nose. I see a Golden Triangle in those diagonal lines.

==============
On a different note . . . I saw you at the AMVIV banquet hall Saturday night (the only night I was in Vegas) but didn't get a chance to stop you. Someone else caught me before I got an opportunity to say hello.

I'm late to the party as usual but...
Thanks again Dave for shooting such great photos!

Thanks everyone for the compliments. I have a few more things planned over the coming months so I might have to schedule another shoot with Dave.

It's red vinyl but I will probably get them painted (I have bigger plans in the near future).

No extra lighting and no HDR.

That photo was shot in one exposure and all adjustments were made to a single layer in photo shop. One thing I did do was underexpose that image by 1.3 stops (to prevent the background and the sky from being blown out). Then did some levels/curves work to bring out the detail that was there.

Thanks. I like that one a lot too.

Aw. I was looking around for you and your MINI and never saw either. Sorry I missed you.

Nice shots Dave... Although, having followed Chip 3 hours on the trip back home, I'm kinda tired of lookin' at his MINI. Haha... Just kidding... Lookin' good Chip!
