Looks like some sort of card for the birth of a new baby.

Lol, yeah it is a baby shower invite. Actually a ruffled diaper that folds out. I was doing the second half of her photos and she just wasn't into the run of the mill belly photo thing, so I was trying to be creative.

You're a brave man doing that in joyzee.
I love that you focused on his name!
From my first B&W Landscape shoot last night.

Beautiful pictures!!
What kind of post-processing do you do? Also, where did you place your strobe(s)? I've only recently started playing with using flash and it's like learning to shoot all over again.

Yeah, I wish I had the skills to do stuff like that. I get so impatient with photography so I will never progress.. I don't even process my photos at all.

Thank's guys! Seems as though uploading to Flickr over saturated the reds a bit. Anyways, When I strobe during a shoot I'll take a ton of pictures with the flash at various heights, angles, etc. Typically when strobing I'm looking to cut reflections, add volume and pop to the paint, and accent the overall shape of the car. I don't have it down to a science yet but what works best for me is to have the flash fairly high in the air (~7ish feet) and angled towards the ground.
In post I'll merge all the layers and select certain parts from each image that I'll want in the final shot. Off of the top of my head each of the shots above are 7-8 images combined. From there I mask the cars body, wheels, tires, the ground, sky, and background and edit everything separately. Once everything is to my liking I will do some overall color toning and some other minor changes.
It's a long process but I enjoy the final results.

Ugh, that's why yours come out so amazing. Lots of love (aka time) put in. I only have LR and I've never wanted to get PS JUUUST for the ability to do layers, but your pictures always make me second guess that.
Really killer though, top notch work.

Can you do put a YouTube video together of the process? From shooting to post processing? Very interested.

Thanks really means a lot! One of my bigger regrets is not learning Photoshop sooner. I put it off for over a year because I became overwhelmed doing tasks that are relatively easy to do in Lightroom.
I'll be shooting a 2002 this weekend that I can probably put together a quick walk through for.
