Photographing Porsche 911 GT3 and Nightscapes|How to take beautiful pictures of cars and nightscapes

External camera flash

It was some time ago that my husband, who wasPurchased an external flash to attach to my current digital SLR camera.I did. By adding this external flash, they can take pictures brighter and less blurry than when shooting normally, so they can take beautiful pictures even indoors in the dark or at night.

It seems like the kind of equipment a professional would use.Why did you buy that?' I asked my husband.

I have been having trouble taking good pictures of my car under cloudy skies or in shadows, or of my children indoors, but with this camera, I can now take beautiful pictures. And with the LED light function, I have a new way of taking pictures that I want to try out.

This was the case.

My husband has always been quite particular about photography, and he often receives compliments on his car photos on this blog. He is also particular about recording the sound of his car's engine and taking videos, so he has quite a lot of equipment.

Still, I wonder what my husband is trying to achieve...W

How to take a picture as shown on Porsche's official Twitter page.

And later that day, my husband went to Harborland in Kobe with his external flash, camera, tripod, and other equipment to take pictures of the 911GT3 in the night view. Here are some photos from that trip.

These photos were taken byPorsche's official introduction to photographyHe tried to take a picture with a
Specifically, set up a tripod and set a slow shutter speed on the camera. At this time, ISO 100 and a shutter speed of about 30 seconds. Leave the shutter open and immediatelyHe would run up to the car and quickly shine his flash LED light on it, moving it with his hand. When he finishes illuminating the car, he quickly moves away from the car.
This way, people who are not illuminated by the light do not appear in the picture, but the car appears as if it were illuminated by a spotlight, resulting in a beautiful photograph. One thing to keep in mind is that the light from the LED light should not point directly at the camera, or else a band of light will appear in the picture.

I am not familiar with these things, so I have no idea how it works even though I heard the explanation, but there are so many different ways to take pictures. My husband said about this photo.

I got a better picture than before, but the angle of view and details still bothered me a bit. It was cold, so I cut out halfway through, but I wanted to stick around for another hour or so. I'll go back for revenge. ・・・・・・・

He said. So, if I can take another beautiful picture that my husband will agree with, I will share it on my blog. w
