Mini Cooper, John Cooper Works Edition: photo and image build up – Part 2
Just updated the portfolio today with the static photo of the Mini Cooper. As with the rig shot, here’s a run down on the build up of the image.
Here’s the final piece:

Thanks again to those who helped make the image!

Beautiful shots you created. The color is just sick, the compositions as well. Thanks for throwing in some extra tips.
great job! thanx for sharing the tips
amazing!
Great Work again. You are the duke, dukes
Thanks for the help also. I was thinking about lightning on cars for a long time. you gave me some fresh ideas.
Out of curiosity, are you using a tripod to keep the camera in the same spot while you shoot each frame? or do you just piece them together in photoshop afterwards?
The product looks AWESOME!! great work!
Really awesome image
Damn! Wish I could do that stuff! Very nice!
what do you use as an reflector here? doesn’t look like a real one. what is it?
Greta pix Scott..thanks for the write up too..very interesting to look through your blog. just wanted to klnow (if not too secret) what are the PS filters/techniques you use to get the final image so crisp/clear and electric looking..the first base image of the mini are very yellow with no contrast in the mountains.. i guess it’s a case of fiddling with individual bits – but whats the overall way you get the ‘blue crisp’ effect?? thanks and will keep looking at your superb work.
