Behind The Lens: Adding Black Skies – 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8

When I get a black car to shoot I try to find a nice open space to minimize distracting reflections. A good photographer friend of mine, Ron Perry, suggested a spot that would be perfect. Unfortunately, instead of a colorful sunset I got an overcast marine layer because the location was close to the water. The car looked great but the bland sky made for a bland photo. Luckily, my wife and I went to Hawaii for our honeymoon and I grabbed a great shot that worked perfectly with the black Dodge Challenger SRT8.

    Awesome PS on the merging between grass & ocean. I always find it’s the hardest part of comping sky & bits of ground.
