Haven't posted here for ages so here is something I'm pleased with. Third go at editing it as I wasn't quite happy with the first two tries.

Thanks, that’s the idea! I’m hoping to one day get work from car manufacturers for their advertising, brochures etc.
I know it’s not the same as what you probably are hoping for, but here in the US a lot of the big car dealers hire a photographer to catalog their online listings of used cars. You can usually tell the ones that do it themselves with a smartphone, and even the ones that don’t really care about cars, but are doing it for the work, I guess.

Finally have something new to share. A sunset in Clearwater Beach, Florida. Over the Gulf.
I wasn’t quick witted enough to catch the image with the sailboat directly in front of the sun, but I thought it turned out good nonetheless.
iPhone 7+. Lightly touched up in Photos. Probably work on it a little more with Luminar.

Beautiful.

f/32 with a 200mm macro lens outside with a speedlight. Sacrificed sharpness (from diffraction) for DOF. I think it was an acceptable trade-off for this image.

I really need to practice with my speedlights more often.

I have done some consultancy for a dealership to get their studio area set up and salesmen trained to take photos. It was as much about speed as it was quality. I have wondered about contacting some local high-end dealerships (classics and supercars) where the images are more valueable to them.

It would be great to score a deal like that with an exotic import dealer. :)
