Default 75 degrees and sunny!!!

Finally had some really nice and cool weather today. Had a blast with the car.

Here are some pictures I wanted to share with you guys. Wish I was a better photographer like JDHertz though.

Enjoy!

-David

I know whatcha mean. I'm still a student in the school of JDH photography.

I'm a slow learner, but here are a couple of 'lazy-man' tips I've picked up, for those who want a quick start toward his level. He goes for:

- Gorgeous subjects. (Good job!)
- Appealing backgrounds. (Also done!)

Next, just:
- Take crazy tight close-ups of shiny stuff.
Never, I mean NEVER, show the entire vehicle.
Best to take one high-resolution of the full car (but never admit that or show it to anyone). Then, post individual, cropped edits of its parts.

- Get cool reflections in wheels.
If it's a mirrored hubcap, try to distract folks from noticing you in the photo.

- Lastly, use quality equipment, know what you're doing, plus have Jason's natural talent & eye.
This is where you've got potential, but I'm screwed


(Next lesson in the JDH school of eye candy images:
Updating your avatar & sig block constantly with coolness )

A little OT, but I was just re-visiting the "Monterey '09 photo thread: Laguna, Pebble, Quail, etc ," & admiring JDHertz' shots again.
This 1 caught my eye
