Jeep Photoshoot

[zebvance]

Took some picture of my bro's jeep at matagorda beach and then after wards caught a couple beers and a big juicy hamburger. Tell me what yall think. These are a few out of 300+.


Oh and this was my first time shooting a car

Nice Jeep! Manual or Automatic?

I haven't done any car shoots, so keep that in mind.

#1 is my favorite. Good ambient lighting and nice contrast with blue sky. Really makes it stand out. In the other pics the Jeep blend into the background too much.

I like the positioning of the Jeep in the first picture, too. Not so much on the last setup with the rear left tire in that position.

#10 is my second favorite, as it reminds me of all the crazy rock crawlers out there.

All in all, great job!

automatic, Its my brothers jeep. I really agree with you about it blending in. It def would have been better if The lighting outside was better. We had alot of fun.

That is for sure a good looking jeep

[mrsrice22]

Thanks, these pics do it no justice at all. I wish I could find better pics. We built it up over a year to where we wanted it then sold it when we moved out here to Texas. But, with 3 kids, 4wheelin is gonna have to wait, sigh.

I think in a few years we'll get the 4 door rubi :drool:

Overall a good effort.

I agree with all feedback. I might add a few suggestions.

1- appears most if not all pics were taken at eye level. Get low to the ground on some pics and bring a step ladder or use bumps in elevation like the log to catch varying perspectives

2 - I suggest some action shots. Since the jeep is a vehicle known for being on the move, instead of a classy look only, try some maneuvers with high speed high iso to capture sand flying as the jeep is in motion

3 - get that thing to the car wash in matagetdowngorda and wash that booger with a ton of fresh water. Also consider undercoating. My relatives live there and I've watched all their vehicles rust out quick from that salty beach

Good initial effort.

Nice photos. Crops are a little tight and read up on the rule of thirds. Composition is key in automotive photography. Kraftsims gave you some good feedback too.

Loving that Jeep!!!!

Good to see another Mallcrawlin.com member on here.

An off roading friend claims having a 4 wheel drive Jeep does not mean you never get stuck. Instead t affirms you will only get stuck in very inaccessible places.

Robert mentions it above, but I agree, maybe some slower shutter shots with the wheels moving and sand flying up. Off-roading is usually pretty slow, but what that means for these shots is that the Jeep appears to not be moving at all. As the light faded, the shots lack pop; might have been a good time to turn on the lights and do some cool things with them.

My dumpy Subaru wagon could have navigated the same beach fairly well, but I would have had to drive around the log instead of going over it. :-)

If you are asking for CC, please limit your photo choices to your best three shots or do not ask for CC
