Dom Bower Car photoshoot (with dom singing)

http://www.dombower.com
youtube was not being friendly so i have uploaded this video with me singing over it to give it some more effect. details below.

This is a behind the scenes video of my 2009 photo shoot with exotic car rental company Rio Prestige,
rioprestige.com. The shoot was in a deralict shopping centre in livingston, Scotland, near Edinburgh. The cars that were on show were the pagani zonda, porsche 911 turbo, lamborgini diablo, ferrari 360 spider, and a ferrari 430, a bmw m5, m3 convertable, aston martin db9.

Photos taken with the Nikon d300 with cokin .4 nd grad filter to keep the sky looking good.

all photos were raw and every photo was edited for some more dramatic effect,
remote flash was used a lot.

regards

I was wondering did you use a single speedlight on the sports car 5.18 into the video where the cars right front wing is almost parallel to your position?

Can you recall your f number for most of the day?

[dombower]

@ronaldrt at 5.18 yes only one speed light to the camera right

ahh sorry, that is me being incredibly thick, you mentioned it in the video about having room to put the logos somewhere there as well. I need to wake up before criticizing haha.

[dombower]

@HHtomphoto no it was a valid critique, as a photo by itself it is a bit pump but once you see what graffic artist do with logos and postioning in websites it looks awesome. unfortunatly the company has gone under but the new company i am making a video for jus tnow.

Just something i picked up from a random youtube video which i think might apply to some of these photos, especially the motor driving at the end, use landscape mode for things far away, and portrait for things really close, and something i noticed especially with the aston martin car was that there seemed to be loads of dead space? but, i love the globe photo, and that panorama, but better than your photos by a mile, was the singing.

[dombower]

@HHtomphoto dead space is there for the users of the images to put their text. and logos.

portrait and landscape mode? what toy camera do you use.... must be a canon user right?
