Just one shot.  
Comments and criticism are welcome.  
Swing on my nuts or pick it apart, tell me what you like and don’t like.

i think you should replace your sig pic with this one !!! and is this shot at 1.4??? i was thinking about getting a 35mm 1.4 but not sure if it does the effect i would like with a car … kinda a toss up between a 35mm 1.4 50mm 1.4 or 85mm 1.8 either way nice pic … i love the detail in the wheels is this a single exposure or bracket

Awesome! as far as the picture goes, it’s great… definitely brings out the body lines more than I’ve ever seen before… and that’s what I miss most about the newer Subarus.

As far as the car itself I’d like to see it a tad bit lower and a light tint 😉

Oh jeezus…  
I’ve never liked the red tails, meh.  
If all goes well hopefully I can have a different vehicle in the spring/summer.

It was shot at f/2 from just a single shot. Using different layers in PS I edited the background and car separately. Its a combination of HDR and the edited original.

The 35 f/1.4 is nice, but I like longer focal lengths for vehicles, at least 85mm. I plan to use this lens for situations where I am limited on space.

ah ok didnt think that looked like 1.4 … i will probably go with the 85mm if possible … and why did you use the 35mm might i ask … since it looked like you have plenty of room to use a zoom??? was it just trying out the lense or did you want to use it for another reason

I was just trying it out, I havent used it much and have some up-coming work that it will probably be used 95% for so I wanted to get adjusted to it.
