Favourites images of 2017 – Behind the lens – Porsche 911 GT3 RS

For the next image on my Top 10 favorites from 2017 we head back to April and the Porsche 911 GT3 RS of Matt Close.

Leading into Targa Tasmania this year, 2016 Targa Tasmania winner Matt Close had chosen to debut a new car, a Porsche 911 GT3 RS, so to help the event promote the Close’s new car we arranged a photo shoot.

I had a spot in mind, over in the Williamstown area, so we met up just before sunset.

With golden hour fast approaching we got the car into position and I set up my Nikon Speedlights with two on each side of the car and one on camera as a master.

Matt had wrapped the car in a white wrap so it helped to remove any reflection.

The light that night was perfect as it set, it left a great color through the sky.

It was shot on Nikon D4s, Nikkor AFS 70-200mm. Exposure was 1/20 shutter speed at F8 aperture with the Nikon SB800 Speedlights set in TTL mode using CLS.

Keep an eye out for the next image tomorrow.
