Pro Photo Shoot With many thanks to Craig Owen. Mine is the black car, of course. The JSB is owned by my friend Dustin who goes by TexasSinger. That's him in the last shot. And, no, that's not a digital composite. I was holding one of the flash modules off to the left of the shot with two other remote flash units on tripods. 2 second shutter to catch the background and just a quick strobe on the foreground.
Oh, and yes he knows about the poles growing out of the cars and he's working to shop those out of the final prints.

We took these Sunday evening just south of 290 down Becker. These were just teasers. The best is yet to come, he says, so he told me to hold off on ordering anything.

Considering this is the first post you've made on here in, what, 5 years?? You may want to identify yourself because there's a ton of new folks who may not have a clue who you are. 
EDIT: Okay, four years. Last post 03-17-2005.
NHRA T/A is the overly self-critical photographer who traded his car for camera equipment and family life. So now he has to live his performance car dreams vicariously through his friends.

I don't think anyone knew me back then either. I'm just a guy that sold his toy for a family sedan with car seats. Then used my camera to make me a little extra beer money so I could forget about the slow car I had to sell.

Not trying to be too negative, but I'll say those are decent shots.
I dont want to sound like an a hole but it might be to late!
The angles are really nothing special, and the lighting is about the same.
I hope you do you have more to come, where the photography really makes the car stand out more.
Good looking Rides no doubt.!

I'd be real interested in hearing NineBall's thoughts, too. He has more experience. And this was actually the very first car shoot for this photographer, so I'd say things turned out pretty good all things considered. I will post a couple of the final prints once he's done with the post processesing. These were put up within a few hours of wrapping the shoot, so most of what you see was done in-camera.

Wow, some old faces are comingout in this thread. I lurk here on occasion.
As for the photos, I'm not a pro, but the artificial lighting that he's using seem to be aimed on the ground in some photos and the cars are left in the dark. But again, these pics are alot better than anything that I could take.

No A-hole detected.
I can always take critique, that's how I learn. Like Vince said, I mainly do portrait photography and this is my first car shoot. I've learned a lot of things from our 2 hour jaunt in the country that I hope to use if I get another chance. I'm definitely not ready to start offering this to clients...yet..we'll see how I do on the next few outings. But right now, these were just for fun.
