My god!! it was a freezing night!!! But it was well worth it, cause fellow photographer Chris and I got to shoot one of the coolest, and best modified widebody Nissan S14 I’ve seen in this country!….
We’ve visited a couple of places before settling at this particular location and the plan was to keep the setup pretty simple because it was in the middle of a semi private area, so a quick setup is a must.
So for the setup:
1 x EX580II high camera left bare, about 6 feet away front of the car.
1 x Local Council issued street lamp 20 feet high camera right, bare
Triggered by Cactus V2s.
To keep the setup nice and simple I had to borrow a street lamp from the local council. But from just 1 flash, you can get pretty even lighting on the car with just a single strobe, and using what’s available from your surrounding. The setup took about 1 min…..
Post Processing:
In Lightroom….
- Pump up “Fill Light” and “Blacks” all the way.
- Reduce Vibrance and Saturation.
- Vignettes
In Photoshop….
- Levels, and Curve, and Sharpening.
