I love how he showed the logistical parts too – police escort, cranes, rigs, etc

I don’t DISLIKE his work, but it just seems pretty complicated for a less than stellar final image or video. This is what you call a busy shot. The colors are all over the place and thus your eyes are all over the place, which is not good if you are suppose to focus on a specific product (the truck).

Iso 125 for canon cameras produce as much noise as 400iso or more. 160 is the lowest, finest iso noise.

It just didn’t pop and it didn’t feel like the truck was the motive at all. I think it is because of two factors. The first being the truck itself is so small in the frame. Of course it’s tough to get the skyline any other way without going super wide.

The other is the overall yellow light. I know it is a “true” look, since it looks natural. But it feels kind of dull. I would love the truck to be a more white kind of white instead of a yellowish white. That would have made the picture look a lot more artificial but I think it would benefit from it, as the truck would pop and be the center of attention (of course, this effect must not be overdone as it would ruin the picture).

So, the thing is the truck doesn’t grab my eye. It looks like a photo of a skyline with a truck that happened to drive by rather than a truck in front of a skyline. I wouldn’t have done it half as good myself though, to be honest. :)

Just seems a little less ‘wow’ to me.
