What are white oval side repeaters? Have you thought of getting a turbo S chin spoiler? BTW very nice photos.

Small addendum (Streather, p.378):

"Only ROW build specification 993s are delivered with side indicator lights."

Another example:

^^ True, but if you move your TT to the UK you're required to install them. Ask me how I know. The oval ones were very popular when I got there, but I thought the rectangular ones were more "Germanic" looking. So I had clear versions installed, in keeping with the clear corners already on the car. Decided to leave them in place when I moved it back to the States. I really like how they look!

Interesting...... but I have to say that I am glad that we are not required to have them although they certainly don't detract much from the overall appearance. The photos look great as I already mentioned. What was the lighting used? Was there much use of photoshop to enhance the lighting on the car? And on another note, how do you find using the right hand drive in the USA?

- I used a softbox.
- No PS used to enhance the light. !! ....I only used it to darken the background off

Acropora
LOL
details below !


I am using these 356 pics as an example, as they show more of the process than the 993 pics.

I have some black screens in the warehouse as a backdrop.
The softboxes are set up here for the interior shots....


For the external shots, I set the camera on f22, for 30sec
and then walked past the car holding the softbox over the car.


The only serious editing is the darkening of the background
This is only necessary because the layout of my warehouse is a little compromised for this style of photography.

here is the original 993 pic "off the gun"
[has only been cropped & resized]
the light streak is from the softbox


darkened background & finished !
