Ferrari 458 Italia shoot

[Doctor Chimargo the Dog]

Hey gang,

I posted a shot in Spotted yesterday however I thought I'd throw up a small thread. This 458 is owned by a friend who also has a few other nice cars, and it's a month old!

Beautiful Rosso Corsa/Tan with Carbon Fibre inside everywhere :D

I only had the car for 30 mins on Saturday afternoon before the sun went down, so unfortunately 3 shots were only produced, but any are better than none!

Please, let me know what you think! ANY feedback whether positive or negative will be welcomed.

If you think THIS car is good? Just wait another 9 weeks... YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S TO COME! ;)

Cheers,
Josh Stowers

2nd one is good, 3rd pic looks out of whack Josh.

[adrenalin]

Fish Eye Distortion ?

2nd one is bombed

[cplagz]

Nice pics - 2nd one around air vent, down rear valance looks funny though, like a lense flare and pshop smudging.

I'm not a fan of the distortion on the 3rd pic, and the red/green contrast is too much. 1st pic is awesome.

thats actually me!

[jaybee]

i cant see the third pic atm

first two are great, the lighting in the first pic is awesome!

[blownVL]

when i saw this on top gear i was creaming its unbelievable

[Doctor Chimargo the Dog]

Ok thanks for the advice guys! In the third pic I've adjusted it by sharpening the grass on the right side mainly, but also the left hand side and above the rear wheel.

On the 2nd shot I've removed the ghost above the engine on the left and sharpened it up a bit.

Cheers once again! :)

looks awesome!!

Should have taken two shots of the first one. One with the dude holding the light and one the same minus the guy in the pic. Then photoshopped the guy out of it so you could only see the light :)
But nice pics regardless. Sunset in the 3rd shot is nice, just don't dig the fisheye look. Looks out of proportion. Car is stupidly hot (not on fire though)!

Next time ill where my invisible cloak, so u cant see me holding the flash!

Josh, is this car owned by an indo guy who had a 430 before?

[Torquen]

I hear Harry Potter's works well :)

My feedback:

Photo 2: brilliant lighting, would prefer the horizon to be straight though.

Photo 3: distortion as mentioned is distracting and makes the car look funny, once again really nice lighting though.

Great work mate.

[tinto]

Beautiful machine!
I'd love to see a tight crop on #1 without the flash in frame.

[manna_85]

Love the second pic. Also agree bout the horizon.
Third pic would look amazing if the car wasnt distorted. Theres also a bit of noise in the pics around the clouds, perhaps try using noise reduction software. besides that bombed :)

nice wide angle in 3rd, love the photoshopping, people should get used to lens distortion of wide angles cause they are fkn awesome.
Anyone else reckon the 458 sits a cm or two slightly too high :(?

Thanks mate! I think it could do with possibly a drop of two cms, but I guess that's just us...
