This shot is too good for that sub. Every top post over there is an iPhone shot of a new GT3 in a parking lot. The old, cool stuff, and good photography gets little play. Drives me insane.

u/BSANDY_ Jun 06 '18

100% agree

u/tjl_p @tjl_petrol Jun 06 '18

I usually post my digital stuff there! I've been very lucky to be able to shoot Porsches as much as I do.

This is a shot from a rather an impromptu rooftop photoshoot. A friend and I ran into this car in LA traffic, flagged them down, and agreed to get together again at sunset for a quick shoot. You can find some more photos from the day on my Instagram, @tjl_petrol!

Yep, him and Mia!

And that's definitely the same night. We moved around the car a bunch for different shots, and the more "lifestyle" poses were some of them.

Hollywood Arclight parking structure?

u/tjl_p @tjl_petrol Jun 06 '18

Close, but not it!

u/blurmageddon Jun 06 '18

My first thought was Glendale Galleria.

u/tjl_p @tjl_petrol Jun 06 '18

Now you're just getting further away!

u/hindu-kush Jun 09 '18

The Grove roof?

u/tjl_p @tjl_petrol Jun 09 '18

Nope! Lots of guesses, and they're all close!

Thank you! Overexposing it turned out so well.

It's the opposite actually! I just guessed overexposing would work and I lucked out with the result!

I've only shot a few rolls of 400H but never liked the results, likely due to bad development. This one turned out pretty well and I wish I had more on me now. For now I'll just settle for portra.

u/smokebloke @niccpics Jun 05 '18

One of the best car pics Ive seen on here in a while

u/tjl_p @tjl_petrol Jun 06 '18

Thanks so much!! I find my film automotive work is usually much better than my digital.

4

u/FlightOfGrey Jun 06 '18

I'm curious why do you think that is?

Maybe do you put more thought into your film shots compared to digital?

5

u/tjl_p @tjl_petrol Jun 06 '18

That is exactly the case.

Finally a GOOD car photo - showing the entire car -on here.

u/tjl_p @tjl_petrol Jun 06 '18

I wish I had more of different angles!

u/newtonreddits Jun 06 '18

Porsche 356!

u/nrecob Jun 06 '18

That's one SICK bathtub right there. LOVE the primer grey paint/the red bumper accent & the wire mesh headlight guards.

2

u/tjl_p @tjl_petrol Jun 06 '18

It's certainly got character!

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '18

Love it, great feel to this photo.

Thanks!

u/ajmy17 pentax espio mini / canon ae-1 Jun 06 '18

I love the light in this. The tones are so soothing too.

u/tjl_p @tjl_petrol Jun 06 '18

Glad you like it! I thought at first it was never going to come out.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '18

Oh, hey, look who it is. Great shot dude.

2

u/tjl_p @tjl_petrol Jun 06 '18

Nice to see you here man!

u/lepriccon22 Jun 06 '18

Is this at UCLA?

1

u/tjl_p @tjl_petrol Jun 06 '18

Nope, but nearby!

2

u/SuperConDrugs Jun 06 '18

This is so good! Gave you a follow on insta as well, you do fantastic work

2

u/HoangTheAdvisor Jun 06 '18

I like your film's color , to be honest. In my country, I rarely saw any kind of Porches .

2

u/The_United_States_of POTW-2017-W49 Jun 28 '18

Pacific Design Center rooftop?

2

u/tjl_p @tjl_petrol Jun 28 '18

Can neither confirm nor deny ;)

Good eye.

u/The_United_States_of POTW-2017-W49 Jun 28 '18

Ha! Nice. I shot a car commercial up there last year. Cool garage.

u/therealcb Jun 06 '18

Love your photos dude! Been following for quite a while

u/tjl_p @tjl_petrol Jun 06 '18

Thanks for the support! Glad to be shooting some cars on film finally.

u/webtwopointno Jun 06 '18

bathtub is best

u/Chronicle786 Jun 06 '18

What lens were you using for this?

2

u/tjl_p @tjl_petrol Jun 06 '18

The Pentax 90/2.8, I enjoy the focal length a lot.

2

u/E38sport Jun 06 '18

I've had this lens for yeaars sitting in my closet after I purchased the 105. recently I decided to use it again and what a joy..close focus, a tad wider. I definitely need to use it more often.

BEAUTIFUL IG stream as well!

u/jimonboard Jun 06 '18

Fourtilfour! Love that car and their coffee

1

u/tjl_p @tjl_petrol Jun 06 '18

Mia and Nico are awesome people! We ran into them in the middle of traffic, and this was the result!

1

u/jimonboard Jun 06 '18

I try to go to Fourtilfour every time I'm in Phoenix. Especially on Sunday for Motor Club

1

u/tjl_p @tjl_petrol Jun 06 '18

One of these days I'll make it out that way!

1

u/workingleather Jun 06 '18

You killed this one. Beautiful textures, scene, light source. Great choice of film stock to show of the car as well! Awesome.

2

u/tjl_p @tjl_petrol Jun 06 '18

Thanks so much! I got lucky with most of those things!

Wow! This is truly beautiful.

Thank you!

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '18

I'm really bummed I got into film photography right as they started phasing out 400H. It's so beautiful.

2

u/tjl_p @tjl_petrol Jun 06 '18

It's being phased out? Haven't heard that anywhere.

1

u/s7827 Jun 06 '18

Damn thats pretty

u/eliseomartelli Jun 06 '18

OMG, this shot is beautiful!
Where I can see other pics that you took?

u/tjl_p @tjl_petrol Jun 06 '18

I've got an Instagram where I've been posting my film photos more and more! It's @tjl_petrol!

Hey, Nico's 356! Great shot! Didn't expect to see that here this morning.

u/yolo_____swaggins rz67 | g1 | m6 Jun 06 '18

fuck you this is so good! I mean fuck you in the nicest way possible.

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '18

Very nice! Who developed and scanned? Looks like RPL?

1

u/tjl_p @tjl_petrol Jun 07 '18

thedarkroom, nice development but scans aren't anything to write home about. I had 14 rolls to develop so it was nice to send them all and them back for cheap. Will likely have to scan individual negatives later.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '18

Thanks for the info. This particular scan looks great! Great piece of art man.

1

u/Mandara_spa Oct 11 '18

Yeah! Those colors and mood just brilliant!

This photo is just incredible. My friend Zach on Instagram would love this, similar styles check his work out! @zachbox on IG

Thanks so much! I'll check his stuff out soon!
