Default LSX Jeep ******

I did this shoot this past weeked for a feature in a magazine of a badass LSX swapped Jeep. I'm sure everyone has seen it in a few videos or pictures along the way
The guy really took his time with this thing and did alot of cool detail stuff. Ammo cans for speaker boxes, shifter cover, etc..
Anyway here are some of the pictures. I'm just posting a few, here is the link to the full gallery - http://gconnoyer.zenfolio.com/p491624601

car looks great! awesome photos too. how do you get such effects on the first photo? is it the lens? or post processing? most of the time when i shoot into the sun it gets contrasty or completely washed out..unless i alter the highlights. if you dont mind sharing

I shoot in raw so that I can recover the shadows and highlights as much as possible. So I try and find a good middle ground for exposure so that the sky isnt completely blown out, but the shadow side of the jeep is too dark to hold any information.

Yeah its the Nikon 24-70 2.8G ED.
Shot at 3.5, 1/100, ISO100, with a CPL on so I could slow the shutter speed down enough to get a little motion blur.

I'm not 100% sure on power, but I think its a cam/bolton 4.8, and a 75 shot for an added bonus. I cant see it weighing anything more than 24-500 MAX. Its a fun ride, thats for sure.

Thanks man!
