How did you get that "star sparkle" on the passenger's side front?
Keith,
Beautiful fotos. If you shot those, you're better than good.
Michael,
Great fotos...wow!
BC, et al...
In spite of what my wife says, butt shots are always great.
My photographer friend did mention that he may need to use "reflective umbrellas."
Some of the best photos I've seen have been inside a studio with a seamless backdrop. Some of the photoshopped backgrounds look pretty good but that is something I nor my friend know how to do.
Great ideas. Someone put a crack in my rear end (no pun intended) not long ago and I'm pretty POed about it. So those shots will need to be angled until I get the Polar Silver paint patched.
I gotta figure out how to get an overhead shot (good idea). Seems like Henrich or someone had a shot like that about a year ago.

H2,
No post processing other then crop and copyright notice... A reflector would bring out more detail
in the shaded area which would look good. I used a long telephoto to "bring in" the background...

I don't think that wide angle does our cars justice. Quite the opposite. I think a good shot with a telephoto shows their lines better. I have to agree with the ***-end being the better end sentiment. Beefy tires tucked under a sculpted rear is one of the outstanding angles of our cars.
One of Chuck Z's last pictures of his '95 GTS before it left his paddock was a really flattering angle. It didn't hurt that this particular GTS is one of the nicest looking 928's IMO. Flattering angle nevertheless.
Although these aren't of 928's, they are some of the best angles for cars like ours IMO:

Also two more great rear shots from the 928 archives:

I've always been a fan of the front, it looks ominous in the right setting.

It seems that 928's look best from either very low...maybe 1-2 feet off the ground...or very high...like 6+ feet above the car.....the above shots tend to look good from the side too..
