Beautiful! I have to get my car detailed--it really needs a good buffing.

Wow, nice shots. Car looks really great! How come nobody has bought it yet?!

I wish I could take good pics of mine like that, I'm sure its a combo of bad camera and even worse photographer in my case. My car always looks orange in pics.

Apparently, I cleverly priced her so's I get to keep her forever, the 993 Turbo I'd like to buy not withstanding ... might as well have her looking awesome.



I do have 25 years of experience as a professional art director and photo editor, so I have a good idea how to compose and crop photos, as well as the ins and outs of Photoshop and certain photo techniques. But really, it's all about the lighting and shooting the car from a low angle. Here's a pretty cool article on how to shoot your car ... although, actually, I broke most of his rules anyway. It was too damn hot out there to be turning the car around for different shots to get the sun in the right place, didn't use a flash, or pay attention to the concrete around the car, wet anything down, etc.

Just a beautiful example of a 993. You make owners proud to own one.

Gorgeous color! BTW, what's single stage paint? I have heard this before on 993s but haven't a clue

No clear coat on guards red till 98, I believe ... put a little polish on a white rag, rub the paint and if the rag turns red, you've got single stage.

A red Porsche...always always a good thing. Nice detail and photos!
Get with Mr Sullivan and do a dual photo shoot. That would have to be great!
