I know we all love our cars so this is just appreciation of a beautiful machine. Took her out this evening to capture some pictures that I am going to print and hang in my home office. I think they turned out nice and have been editing them for a bit. Still have some work to do in order to have her look the same color in them all, I was quickly loosing the sun. It was pretty much dark by the time the one with the red rock background was taken, about an 8 second exposure!! I am in amazement that I actually own this machine!!
A few years ago, I bought a pro's book on how to photograph cars. Nice suggestions in the book. Some things to consider. Try some with wheels turned in or out a bit. Try some with lights on. Older "vintage" cars often look good with some sort of "vintage" background, while modern cars often show best with a "modern" background. Try a picture of just a wheel and brake, or a reflection in a mirror. Look carefully to see if some background obscures or fails to show off some line of the car. Try wetting the road the car sits on. Try some shots from above on a ladder. Down at pavement level. Backgrounds can enhance or detract and overwhelm the car itself. Do you want the car or the background to be the emphasis. Try a picture of a brake dusted caliper and wheel. I am no pro, but did shoot a few not long ago of our GT3. Let me try to put one or more here.
By the way, your pictures are really handsome, and will look good posted on your wall.
