Default Anyone fancy a car photoshoot?

Hey guys/gals

I've just received my new car rig and wanting to get about 3 or 4 cars together one weekend afternoon at a private location to get some rolling car shots (5-10MPH max).

I'm a pro photographer in Leeds, going to do some on my car first but want to build up a bit of a portfolio

Cheeeeeers

Hi Rich

The first thing is to try and understand light and how its working with your camera. Then taking a little more control over the settings.

I see in the bottom pic that the ISO is 200 which is a little low for unsupported tripod shots (where the shutter speed is 1/25 of a second). The aperture is very shallow here (f3.6) which means the optics aren't at their strongest (around f6.3 - f9 are better).

Bring it with you to either the shoot or the EOM if you attend and I'll give you some easy tips to help enhance your pics

Sounds good to me - a good range of sports cars would be ideal

Thinking back end of April early May. I have access to a building / location in Sheffield (very urban) which would make a stunning backdrop for the cars (static) and provide decent surrounding area for some rolling shots

Once I get final numbers, I'll put up a selection of dates the building is available and we'll take it from there.

Only 1 issue - it's a bit of stretch from North Leeds and even if the car is clean, it won't be by the time I get to Sheffield....

Any locations that would suit in/around Leeds?
