The recent photoshoot of skylineseason's car by MacFly has been my inspiration on last days, and I've spent couple of evenings out with my camera and tried to learn some night photographing... with varying success .

I've noticed that taking pics of a black car at night time is extremely hard, at least for me! A long exposure time brings the environment up pretty well, but it's still not enough to brighten up the car. I guess using a separate flash gun at a distance could help. Of course I have to learn to locate the car better under the street lighting too. All tips are more than welcome, especially from pros !

So, the car is still what it is, and this is not so much about posing the car than sharing the pics and maybe getting some tips .
I'm afraid these may be the last pics this "summer" before transforming the car into a winter mode --> winter tyres + taking off the splitter.

 

Thanks for watching!

ps. The pics are edited.

 

cool pics, you might have some better results in terms of bringing out your black vehicle at night by doing some HDR photos.

 

The pics and the car look great Antti, but what were you doing at Volvo?!?!?! Flat Eric surely wouldn't approve

 

I agree, and I have tried HDR too, but I don't know how to edit them the right way...

 

Looks great as usual.

 

Haha! I knew someone would pick that up! It's actually our local BMW dealer. They sell Volvo, Ford and Renault too.

 

 

Looks good. I think it looks better with just the AE on. btw, where's Flat Eric?

 

It is only angel eyes on on every pic. It was just so dark that a very long exposure time was needed. That's why the light has "spread".
It was quite late so Eric was sleeping on the back seat.
