I would have never thought I’d get into automotive photography, but I’m a proud owner of a 2023 Z71 Trail Boss Custom and I can’t stop photographing it, and now I wanna photograph more vehicles! This channel, and tutorial set, is excellent and exactly what I needed.

I am already fairly comfortable with Lightroom but honestly I have never really messed around with split toning before. But seeing how you are using this tool, it makes so much sense now.

@TheCarCreative 4 жыл бұрын

Nice man! So glad you were able to learn something new. It took me a while to mess around with split toning also. I think I’ve found my little groove with it now though.

Ok so I did my first reflection shot the other day before seeing this video. Question, were do you place your subject to get the best reflection? I messed up and put my subject in the puddle. Hindsight being what it is, I think I should have placed the subject behind the puddle.

@TheCarCreative 4 жыл бұрын

Totally depends on the lens you’re using but rarely would I put the car in the puddle. Probably a couple feet back from it to allow the lens to get a good line of site. Gotta get pretty low also! Cheers man!

It was nicely overcast when I took the photo so not much reflecting off the body of the car. I got the owner to park the car in front of a nice puddle and it worked great!
