I was going to say this. Holy shit, those photos are better than most car advertisements I've seen.Quote:

Tonight could be a challenge, fire engines are big and have a lot of areas light could miss. Looks like I'll need all the torches we've got and to implore the help of a few of the station staff lol.
Agree wiht the above comments. Very well shot.Quote:

Thanks Piers.
Yeah I'm tempted to contact a dealership or something, even if its just prints they want for artwork in the showroom/offices or something it would be an income with potential for future work. Age would be a non mention unless they asked for interviews as you said, would just get Dad or someone to pick the cars up xD.
I think your age is a non issue. You're obviously mature and have a lot of skill, and over the age of employment. It should not be an issue at all.Quote:

From what I learnt last night: Fire trucks are huge and therefore you need longer exposures. Fire trucks are huge therefore they can't be put into many secluded places meaning ambient light is a BITCH to work with. Fire trucks are huge therefore focusing on the entire vehicle with light proves a challenge as swirls etc need to be larger (harder with the aforementioned ambient light issue). When shooting inside the hanger to get away from the ambient light, the fire truck is huge so therefore occupies most of the hanger meaning you can't get many details in and you're limited by space and your widest focal length (need a 10-22mm desperately). Fire trucks are huge so when they're sat outside flashing blues you attract a nice bit of attention from Joe public. Did I mention fire trucks are huge?
I've done better imho, would love to be able to do this again but in a darker location, or even on location at a fire (they didn't get a shout when we were there, shame as there could have been a few decent shots to have been had.) I did get to play with a thermal imaging camera though, which was pretty fun :D

Then we moved on to do something more familiar, cars. Arrive at Morrisons carpark to find it closed due to them not being open today (Easter Sunday) so had to go in one at the side, which had more ambient light, not helped that we were both tired from having been dancing around a fire truck for the past hour and a half.

LOL
Win edit.
Also: S&M photography? You know what it means right?
Yes, yes we do lol. Just the combination of my surname and the guy I normally work withs surname.
Got round to uploading these photos from Cotsworld Wildlife Park. Little to no editing (except crop and sharpen) on most of them.

Absolutely no colour correction on this one, this is exactly how it came out of the camera.

Love 1, 9 and 10, shame about the reflections(?) in 4, polarizing filter would have been a god send there.
Did you use on-board flash for 3? If you did then dialing in a little bit of negative flash exposure can stop it causing harsh shadows. Either way don't think it detracts and is still a good shot :).
Nice use of DOF on all of them too.
