Was at Cars and Coffee this morning then headed over to Motion Lab Tuning and decided to take some pics with my first ever DSLR! A Canon T3I with the kit 18-55mm lense.

You can follow me on Instagram for more pictures @mikekuhnracing

Great pics and camera. I use a Canon 60D. looks good man!

ShellDude 05-04-2013 01:13 PM

a couple of those have a tinge of HDR to them. Did you post process them or did the DLSR do it for you?

TopGear8 05-04-2013 01:15 PM

Yeah I was using lightroom, I've always been a fan of the HDR look althought these were just shot in RAW and I played with the exposures and clairty a bit.

ShellDude 05-04-2013 01:19 PM

Have you tried Luminance with a set of photos low/med/high shot with bracketing and a tripod (or really steady hand)?

Every once in a while I get one that turns out amazing... lotsa duds too though.

Car looks super good man.

Next time, take the photos from an angle where there isn't so many damn reflections all over the car, its super distracting.

Thanks man I've always enjoyed photography but never had the camera for it, now that I have the camera I can finally learn the techniques. And yeah let me know whenever you come down I have a few places that would be great for a shoot.

Looks great as usual! I'd recommend you wetsand and polish the headlights whenever you get the chance to clear up the yellowing. It'll really make a dramatic difference. I know it's a racecar, but still.

Dan507 05-05-2013 05:03 AM

Looks good as always dude!

monchie 05-05-2013 10:29 PM

Nice pics! Car looks good as always...

batangisip89 05-05-2013 10:35 PM

Wow, just wow. great shots.

godshand86 05-10-2013 08:53 AM

What spoiler is that on your RX-8?

WreakLoosE 05-10-2013 09:48 AM

That is nice man I love your car. Gotta get that Toyo Tire Sicker back on the fender ;)

Chrishoky 05-10-2013 09:51 AM

Wow your car is pure sex. The pics are hot too. Good work.

The car looks good, but with some much shit going on the photos don't really have a clear focus.

Seeing lightpoles, roads, you, other cars, and all that other random shit makes the photos look like poo.

Too all you photography pro's i'm looking for some advice on these. The other sets of shoots I did the car came out in focus, crisp, and clear. Both time it was overcast out so I had a nice soft light. Shooting towards the sun was a bit difficult. Capturing the sunset as well as getting the car nice and clear is what I struggled with. So next time what should I do to bring the car's details out more, but retain the cityscape?
