This is a close up of the same area that I cropped out at 800 pixels wide but did not resize.

Is that a new car or new paint job? I've never heard of that term before.
 
Re: Here's what shrink back looks like in a new car paint job

It would have to be on a new paint job.

Mike this would also be the same as dieback correct?

From my understanding the terms are used interchangeably.


I'm happy to say most signs of this paint issue have been removed using the CarPro Denim Orange Peel Removal pads. I'll post the pictures today.

Great job on the pictures!


Are you using a macro lens on these?

No, it's actually the EFS 18-135mm

Canon Rebel T5i


Back when I was working for Meguiar's I purchased and tried using a Macro Lens for my Canon T1i but it doesn't work for me to change lenses.

My shooting style is the fast and furious style, that is get in, get the shot, get out. Too much going on when I working with groups of people to be fiddling around changing lenses and when I'm buffing out a car myself I don't want to take the time to fiddle around with changing lenses.

I felt very comfortable with the three previous Canon Rebel camera's I've worn out but this new one is taking me a little longer to get really dialed-in for our garage and outside photos. I am getting better with it though...


How do these pictures look?

Settings in the Manual Mode for Rebel T5i

Shutter Speed: 1/30
Apeture: F8.0
ISO: 800
White Balance set to Auto



Some with flash on and some with flash off...

These setting look to me to be working pretty welll in our garage in our lighting.



Just took the "Beauty Shots" for last night's project. I'll post them today, first I have to do a Speed Channel thread.


Took this one on Monday...

Amusing results after the car pro pad on the die-back.It took some time but a safer way to treat this issue on the truck.:dblthumb2:
 
Re: Here's what shrink back looks like in a new car paint job

Thanks Mike! Your pics have always looked great! ;)

Didn't mean to take the thread of topic, I just have been having a harder time capturing swirls and close up defects like that with my new camera gear. I think I had better luck with my old Canon XSi to be honest....that and I had more room in the shop for portable lighting (halogen stands).

Paint shrink with my Canon.

I tell you, the first month working with this new camera beat me up pretty bad. I'm still not happy with the far or wide shots I'm getting but with help from a lot of the true camera buffs on this forum I slowly learning how to really dial in the settings to get the "look" where I want it to be.

It's mostly just a "time" issue for both reading about how to adjust the camera and practicing taking pictures with different settings and then pulling them up on my monitor and that's where I learn what's working and what's not working. All this takes time but I think it's worth it because like the saying goes,


A picture tells a thousand words...



And I take a lot of pictures. :D


Now back on topic, the same paint above, with the dieback or shrink back was fixed using the CarPro Denim pads on a simple Porter Cable. I created a thread yesterday to show how the dieback was removed...
