  • So happy about the first prize. Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback. For this shot I needed many exposures to get these nice reflections with my lightsource on the car. My ambition was to create a clean shot like in a studio. I used a Nikon D800 and a Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm 2.8G ED.

  • Great to see some bike work coming through This has been really well thought out and the lighting and post edit to finish it off done really well.

  • Love the fact that this photographer has given his subject lots of space and it really works because the car really pops out for me. Well done

  • Thanks for the comment! I was working with more ambient light than I would normally do, which brought down the exposure times. Thankfully the square shoulders of the bodywork made lighting easy, so the shoot didn't require a lot of effort despite the bright workshop lighting and the colour of the car worked well against the orange flood lights, I thought. 5DIII, 24-70 2.8L @ f8, ISO 100. I think it was about four or five frames in total. Edited in LR and PS.

  • Its a very different image to the polished work that we get here but in itself I really love this, the drama and the natural lines of the image really work well so i was very happy to include it here. Well done

  • Thats sky! Love the drama in this and the tones with the brooding sky are really impressive. The only thing that I would have liked more is the props blurred by movement Great piece of work and really nice capture

  • Thank you for the Mark of Excellence, Tim! This was a firm favourite from the shoot, I'm a sucker for a sunrise/sunset and generally enjoy shooting cars in these conditions with warm tones and soft light. Thanks again! Instagram: Sidhu88 for more!
