Some eye candy.. met up with another Bronco member for a photo shoot last night

[calgecko]

I am still waiting on a build date, and I've wanted to get some time with a Bronco in front of my lens for a while, so when someone who lives near me got one, I offered him a free shoot - we went out last night - he had only had this white Badlands for 3 days - managed to get some good shots - here's one I just finished editing for him. I'm super happy with how this came out. makes me want mine EVEN MORE now though!

Looks like a picture Ford should be using in their advertising. Great shot.

Looks like a picture Ford should be using in their advertising. Great shot.

And their slogan should be. Outter space….. easier to get to than your bronco…

Space the final frontier... Well, almost. Waiting for your Bronco, THE final frontier.

Wow truly amazing. You guys must be far away from the city. I’d spend all night out there.

Damn here I’m thinking this is a Bikini shoot thread

Very nice editing job!

Did you composite several exposures together or is it a single long exposure of the sky with the key light on the Bronco painted on with a flashlight or something?

Looks great!

Great capture. If you don't mind, how'd you keep the headlights from blowing out given the shutter duration needed for the sky?

thanks for the compliments - to answer some questions about how the image was created - I used a strobe - I have a wireless controller for the camera (which was on a tripod), which also syncs with a Flashpoint XPLOR400 strobe I have on the end of a 6' pole, and I control the camera with my phone while I'm walking around the vehicle - I take several images while strobing the vehicle - and get some exposures for the ambient background and foreground - then blend them together in photoshop - the mountains and sky are from an image I bought off Adobe Stock, and composited into the image, blending it into the foreground - then added some layers of dust clouds for 'atmosphere' - and then did the final tweaks and edits in Lightroom. All in all, about a 2-3 hour edit.
