Speedtech Racing is in Calgary.

I think those pics are taken in Calgary, a couple of those are my buddys' cars.

ya, alot of those cars have speedtech decals cuz they buy parts from jacky (silver s2) but these are all local BC cars.

:thumbsup: Island cars!, Thanks for the photos Mike

two more from tonight

For the first shot, how did you get the lighting to be so smooth and even? Is it natural lighting, or flash, or do you have a light set up?

neat rig Asphalt Junkiez, but i'll have to disagree with the extreme fisheye/wide angle shots.... on anything. it seems interesting in the beginning but after a while it gets played out and does nothing to enhance the natural beauty of the subject because it creates way too much distortion.

in the image of the truck, its so distorted that the audience's focus is pulled onto the bulging black hood that takes up almost half the image... nothing to see there

in the tiburon, the tell tale signs of the "spider eye" headlamps cant be seen, only the bulging fender that gives nothing in terms of show casing the car.

for print, these pictures would have no usuable value as they do not showcase the product let alone enhance its properties.

its great in experimenting with extreme angles and pov's, but you have to be very careful and reserved about the intensity of such techniques. Gluck!

u are very correct... the 15mm fisheye is fun and all but for serious work it is not the right tool, i have a new lense on the way.. this is just me messing around having some fun. Thanks for the post!:)

The scene's to dull and washed out. Up the exposure and play with the colours and contrast. The compesition looks good, it could have been better if you stepped over to the right a bit more

^^ good points. It was a crappy (cloudy) day tho, not sure how much more I can get out of this shot :(

EDIT: Is the above any better?

not bad...but the GT-R is a touch too dark, the blurred licence plate makes my skin crawl (if you don't want it in the picture, take it off for the shoot, it's not that hard) and the wheels on the GT-R are turned the wrong way...we want to see rims, not contact patch.

Cheers!

Those are some nice wheels on the car! I like the 2nd one more as the first one has way too much sky in the picture. However, the lamp post in the 2nd pic takes some of the focus away from the car...

Well, that's just my rookie opinion though...we'll see what the pros think :)

nice photo. granville is a really nice place for photos, i was out there 2 weeks ago with a few cars.

^^ The buildings in both of your photos are crooked.

ahh shit happens it was a late night, didnt even notice.. ill have to try and remember that for next time.

It's never too late to fix it in photoshop ;)

true enough, just played a little..

i still think the buildings are a bit washed out... idk. i should stop messing with the photo, ill just end up screwing it up.

this one was a bit harder it seams to straighten, useing the grid in photoshop each building seamed to be pointing a different way..
