C&C - E46 BMW 323CI

Paddy@CIRL

I shot these back in April for a UK tuning magazine. I really enjoy shooting white cars but I still feel I've along way to go before I'm even remotely happy with my feature work. It just feels sort of stale and predictable ?

Anyways, please leave some C&C as it's much needed and appreciated !

4 5 and 6 all good and original, I was surprised at how much I liked #4 tbh.

Me too.. I think I probably have expensive leather fetish.

That E46 is still a stunning handsome car!

I'm not a car shot fan normally, but i love the engine photo, great shot.

magicbastarder

yep, i'd plump for the detail shots over the rest.

Don't really like the PP in the first 2, but love the last 3. Especially the last one. Great sense of speed.

as usual great work Paddy !!

if I was to C&C it - the first 3 images seem flatter than your normal work - its usually punchier..... the right hand side of both images (or just right of center) isnt exposed or lit up the same as the left side (in first pic especially) ... the detail and sharpness isnt in the front wheel (on both pics 1 and 3)

maybe its because it was obviously a dark day - could also have been the locations ... most of your stuff (that I can remember) is in places where you take more control over the lighting of the subject.

only improvements I can think of for the last pic (which is excellent) - star filter for the headlights and background.....not sure what or how the background would/should be changed would be a normal wall or cobbled pathway leading away (with a garda car in the background with sirens)

Great shots Paddy.
On C&C I would crop out the roof line from the first image.
Not a big fan of the angles in 2 & 3 either
4,5, & 6 look super and as if they came straight out of a mag.
