enjoy, they are weird

Panoramic












I need to think out my lighting more thoroughly next time. Still learning on hdr composistion and tone mapping, trying to find the fine line between plain and "edited too much".

 

Nice looking Shots, Nice looking laurel, but i like the OEM driving lights better. The Hella's are just too big mounted on the upper grill.

 

I think the shots are great - I like HDR used subtly.

How did you mount your lights? I used the OutMotoring brackets on my Cooper but they don't fit Euro spec - I'm looking at how to mount lights on my new S.

 

Ill take a pic and show you but since the hellas have amiable mounts i used this method https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...-brackets.html. Post number 4

 

nice. i really like the laurel.

 

Thanks. Hmm - looks a bit beyond my engineering capabilities and I wanted to use Hella 1000s which are bigger and heavier - but I'll think along these lines and see if I come up with something. The 2011 grill is a bit different too so I'll need to check the hole sizes.

 

Arent you Lucas's friend? i see you all the time going down gallo ws

 

I might move them to the bumper but i dunno, I agree and disagree with you

 

Having spent 3 years making sure I park where people can't reverse into my bumper-mounted lights, I'd say - keep them where they are!

If it helps, the traditional Mini rally cars had the lights in front of the grill. (Mind you, their bumper was at ground level!)

 

the pictures look pretty good.....could you a touch more contrast over all, but they look good. one is a touch blurry, camera must have moved on the tripod.

When you hit the shutter do you have it on a 2 second delay? or do you use a remote trigger? or neither of the above?

 

Looks good bro. I'm diggin it. What kind of JCW is that?

 

It's not a JCW its an MCS Laurel edition with lots' o goodies

 

Nice. Looks mean as ****!

 

Nice Shoot This one is my Favorite

 

I have been experimenting and need to do a detail once this snow goes away to shoot some more. thanks for the appreciation guys!

 

sexy mini

 

Dude where did you take these? That parking garage look way to much like the one at NOVA in Annandale lol ive also seen one just like yours driving down the street too! BTW nice mini and pictures

 

Very nice pics!!

I love HDR...we've taken a bunch with our D90.

 

some of them arent bad, but i suggest you get some strobes and diffusers, those shadows are nasty. also, dont park right under a light.. it brightens the top and darkens the bottom too much as well as showing any imperfections on the paint and windshield, dust included.
also, i do this sometimes too, but make sure you stay in focus
haha
angles are pretty good though. i like the pano a lot actually.
i would suggest you up the hdr effect a little and tell it to be mroe shadow based, that should take out some of your shadows, while making the car really "pop"

 

nice pics!
let's do the photoshoot together one day!

 

Your in the NOVA area?

 

I THINK I SAW ONE OF THESE IN EASTBRUNSWICK NJ LAST WEEK. My head whipped around and stay focused until it was out of site. Then my eyes followed it in the rear veiw mirror till it turn off on to a side street! Those are nice looking....
