Actually, on further inspection, the white balance isn't really bad. The image is just dark.

 

Nice! If you have a silver reflector it would work really well on the ceiling of your whitebox. That will bounce all the light back down on your subject and help to light it from the top as well as from the sides with your light sources...it will make your subjects appear more evenly light from all angles.

That is, even out the light across your mustang models (trying to make this somehow topic-related )

 

I think you did a great job! Did you run this through HDR? I couldn't get a decent shot to show well of the interior without the gauges blowing out. Your nav system shows really well here too!

 

I agree with your later assessment...the white balance I think looks good! Did you use a tripod at all? 30 sec ss is just at the edge of where I can't hand-hold to keep it still enough. I think the setting sun actually was a help to you because I shot mine in total darkness and I couldn't get above F4 or 5.6 even with the ISO at 1250 to keepthe ss above 30. I needed a bit more light to get the DOF that you did.

1Ds here....Canon's rock

 

DarkFireGT,

If you were not in IL, we would ask you to join us for SEMA, the largest automotive industry car show not open to the public. and compensate your entrance as well as lodging. Very Nice Work!!

 

how do you shoot an hdr pic?

 

they already said the basics
take 3 pics (I don't know maybe more) with differant exposure and put them through HDR software

 

WOW if only the car was a Mustang in the pic
the pic is just plain WOW

 

Yeah, I seen your post several weeks back looking for a photographer. My fiance and I were planning on being in Vegas that week, and trying to get into Sema, but we lost our daughter this spring, and I used up all of my vacation. We're definitely interested for next year if the offer would stand.

 

Here you go. But be careful. It's very easy to ruin an image with HDR. People try so hard to make it look like things were done to it, that they blow out all the details.
