Here is some pics I took yesterday. This is my first try at the see through hood. Please tell me if this is the right way to do it.

its the right idea.

you could even make it a bit more transparent, there is a red hue still over most of it.

you also might want to try shooting down on it, from a hill, roof, or even just a step-stool. (still using a tripod of course)

I noticed that I can eliminate the hood that way cause I tried this on my Aunts GTP and it looks good.

OutToWinPAHC · 08-16-2010, 09:46 AM

Arent you only supposed to use that filter on the hood section only?

OutToWinPAHC · 08-16-2010, 09:46 AM

Oh and when shooting an engine it should be clean

Try to get rid of the hood struts, either by removing them from the car for the picture, or 'shoppin them out.

All except the GTP were clean.

And as for the hood struts I am trying to get rid of them.

i think you should go a little wider, showing more of the car.

these are basically just pics showing off the engine and the reflections of the clouds and other parts of the hood are making it hard to see whats really going on.

if you want to show off the engine, then just use the one pic with the hood open.

if you want to do the transparent hood, go wider and just keep trying.
