Thank you so much for pointing it out.

To be frank, i never noticed it at all.

and editing time is over.

Year 2000. This was one of the biggest learning in my life. Shooting car in a studio designed for film shoot. It was middle of the summer and we didn’t get any air- conditioned studio large enough to accommodate this large E-Class and lighting.

I’m grateful to my guru from Australia. He taught me a lot.

Shot with Pentax 6X7 with Fuji Velvia 50.

Love the reflections in your shot Rudra... Here is one from my side, the VW Phaeton

mansidea · 24th January 2008, 08:43

Great work Rudra. Still wonder how do you guys manage that shade & lights together.

shazikon · 24th January 2008, 11:16

Rudra, the shadow of an overhang above the car running along the middle of the E class?? is it intentional??? or is it a shadow ?? but it casts a nice reflection onthe bonnet!! Makes the car look more black.

Ajo, some PS on that pic would have increased its appeal. In my opinion, i feel a black and white pic, with the car in color would be ideal.

For example :

Good job,tanveer!
Looks like I'll need a few pointers from you..I've really never played around with PS,but I'll have to once I'm back from the auto show here.

tsk1979 · 25th January 2008, 08:16

Thanks for your comments nitin.
The VW stall was easy to work with since people could not get really close to cars

Here's another
