NZDM Honda Integra Type R

[talan]

Hi thought i'll kick off this forum with a photo I took probably a year ago.

As some of you all know im into automotive photography.

This is my buddy's 2000 NZDM Honda Integra Type R. A lot of you will say "it's just another Integra Type R". This one is quite special as there were only 7 NZ new ITRs sold. The good thing about it is he has decided to keep it 100% original (for the mean time).

2 are written off so there's 5 left. The owner's brother in law has a yellow one :). Im going to try to get the red and yellow one together for a shoot sometimes soon.

Anyway heres the photo. Pretty much the only keeper of the shoot.

Processing done mainly in Lightroom.

Critique if you like :D

I like the setting of the shots. It's very urban. Yea the 1st pic is the best. The contrast and exposure is a lot better than the last 2.

Hi Haim I was using the 18-55mm EFS kit lens. Can't remember what focal length, can have a look in the EXIF tonight.

Wow that car is super clean. The first one has this wonderful perspective with both the lines on the ceiling and the lights starting apart and then meeting in the middle towards the car. It also has a cool juxtaposition going on with the grubby Countdown carpark and Trundler Park signs in contrast to the shiny, flash car. Nice :)

first photo is awesome man, just to nit-pick it would be cool if the car was evenly between the poles - since you were going for the whole symmetry effect. Also what do you mean by "cloning", like I know what the clone-tool in PS does but how did you use it in that photo? did you clone out the reflections??

Hey thanks for the feedback. Definately was going for the symetrical composition.

Yeah by cloning i mean cloning out some of the harsh reflections from the paint. Also I think I find the neon tube lighting a little distracting as they are quite bright. Maybe a bit of dodging and burning may fix it?

Pretty nice for a Honda :p Like the second photo the most, Nice.
