1968 Camaro SS - Miami

1968 Camaro SS - Miami

As I mentioned in a previous post last Monday we photographed a 1968 Camaro SS in Miami. The client is a mainstream auto paint manufacturer that is putting together a calendar. I was both honored and excited that they chose to work with us so we went all out on a multiple location photoshoot.

I know many of you have seen the rig shots that we have posted up over the past year. The paint was so flawless on this car that I didnt want to risk any scratches or swirl marks from the suction cups of the rig. Instead we used a follow car and did car to car rolling shots. The trick here is to travel around 50mph on a steady and straight road. Keep exposure times slower than normal (around 1/30 to 1/50) to capture all of the movement in the wheels and background.

Camera Data for this shot:
Camera: Nikon D3
Lens: Nikon 14-24mm
F Stop: f/22
Exposure: 1/50 second
ISO: 200
