direct sun is terrible for pics.

it washes out the white of the car.

tell your professional to be more professional

Yeah, shame on him for not turning the sun down during the shoot. :rolleyes:

:stupid:


just because someone owns a DSLR doesn't make them a pro

if you posted this on a photography forum they'd ask you why they took sooooo many ricer angles? and why the ISO was soooooo high on a sunny day...

Ricer angles? He hit just about every angle. And it's not even close to being a "ricer" car, so who cares? This ain't a photography forum.

I will agree and say that some of the photos looked washed out from the sun. The only thing you could have done is either wait for a cloudy day, or shoot in a shaded area. I think some of the pictures look awesome though. He knows what he is doing, but is definite room for improvement. I dont agree with the ricer angles comment besides the overhead ones that were taken. Ricer angles are the ones that guys on the honda forums take of their cars and turn the camera on an angle.

You're welcome! I was just looking through them again, and most weren't even taken in direct sunlight. Yeah, it was sunny, but it seems like he focused on the shadowed side of the car so he could incorporate reflections into the shots. There may be a few areas that are sorta washed out, but they still look great.


Just remember...

Thank you sir.

I'll reiterate, he did not use any type of Photoshop or editing.

SInce I am not a photographer myself, I asked him again about this based on your comment.

He stated that he used filters on his lenses to obtain w/e it is that is showing as the end result.

Wow! Someone who uses filters. I almost forgot that people still used them! :)

As someone whose pretty much only hobby is photography, the pics are great. And you can definitely achieve the effects in those pictures with filters. Depending on the light and filters, exposures used, and other things you can definitely get the look of the OP's pictures.

My intent was not to put down the OP or his photographer. In these days, most get the composition right, exposure close, and tweak in Photoshop. That was the only intent of my post. 99% of a photograph is the composition and that was nailed in these pics.

They do look great. A little oversaturated for my tastes but that's the trend these days and they do look great.

Just thought I'd throw that in there for clarification.

He went onto to tell me he knows what he can and can't do with a camera and because of his abilities, his equipment, Etc..... he doesn't need to rely on programs as a crutch to inferior picture taking.

True and Photoshop should not be used as a crutch (although it often is). It's best use is making tweaks to pictures: darkening the sky, selective highlighting, etc. Say you're on a shoot and the sun changes and you don't have enough reflectors, flashes, whatever. It's a lot easier to do the selective editing in Photoshop rather than try to get it right in the camera.

Again, your pics are great and I meant no disrespect to your friend or his camera skills. They are great!

These pictures look great and you have every right to be proud of them and of course your great looking SHO.

IMO, these cars look great in all the colors. Wish they could be made to change color periodically just for the fun of it.

:shrug:

or chose a better time of day to shoot?

Laughable. He chose to shoot in the sun in order to capture the effect of the metallic flake in the white paint (as best as possible).

Thanks for shooting down what most, including myself, think turned out to be some great shots.

Goes to show you that "you can't please everyone".

Nor was that my intent. I did however just wanted to post up some pics and share with the entire SHO community.

Moving along.................


ugh, take a little criticism. he botched the shoot. get over yourself and off his nuts.

What are you some sort of photo taking aficionado? These pictures are far from botched, and far from terrible. Clearly you feel you can take a better photo than this man so why don't you put up some pictures you took so the public can take a vote?

I really like how the photographer captured all the bugs and chips on the front of that gen II, and having the windows half open, sweeeeet shots. Looks like he botched the shoot to me.

Maybe you need to learn how to give criticism? There's a difference between been critical and being an *******. Calling his photographer a pu$$y (we all know you didn't type "cat", and if you did, well, it doesn't make much difference) makes you the latter.

ok, if i wanted to say cat (or pu55y) i would have. i said cat as in the 60's slang. no insult intended. of course, you couldn't figure that one out.

i am an a**hole. its the internet. if i dont want to be nice about it i wont. same in life. im not going to run around walking on eggshells so someones feeling are spared. grow a effin skin and deal.

not a hater of the car, just the manor in which the car was shot in the photos. get your facts straight before you post

Good lord...... this thread's turn'n weird really REALLY fast.

Perhaps a group hug is in order? J/K.

Kikkin............ thanks for the comments man. I do like your pics as well.

I was unaware you owned a white SHO yourself. Very cool :thumb:

To that end, we all love our cars and all are, or were, owners of various Gen's of SHO's...... and to me, that's pretty damn cool.

I'd personally like to see some more pics from all of you. So I'm sure it's time to do some updating, so post away :salute:

ive since sold that SHO, im sorry my opinion of the photos was not in line with the group of rabid hounds nipping at my heels. i love the cars, i just think for someone who is billed as a pro photographer, that the shots should have been better. no harm no foul i suppose.

enjoy your family hotrod, i wish i could afford to own one myself.
