Great photos, great car. Do you haul out lights into the desert night, or do you rely on the light from your groupies' cell phones?

I like the first three pics from your set.
The images in the 2nd half I'm not sure of. The reflections of those overhead lights seem too distracting. On my monitors, at least, they appear like random spiderwebs.

My favorite? Pic 1.
The geometry is pleasing. The angle works for me on account of those subtle triangles in the background, along with the triangular shadow cast by the first rectangle- that being the lightpole base.
(Since it's obvious you've cropped, I'd have taken out that little bit of concrete on the bottom left-hand corner. )

i think the pics and the kit are hot saw it in person on memorial day very very cool kit, just not quite my gig.

for me nothing beats the styling of a stock cooper just love the way its low to the ground but round from everyside and you just feel confident that you wont bottom out the edge of your bumper going out of anyone's drive:smile:

The first three are my favorites.

Can you comment a little bit on the lighting in those photos?

Oh yeah, Tenzo "Mean 6." They must be using spacers to push those out to the edge of those fat fender flares. I would love to see some super deep dish rims on that kit. Like 17x9s.


Great pics, 3 is my favorite, followed by 1, which could use some more of the concrete in the left bottom corner to ground the shot and pull you along the line of posts.

dave,

lighting setups are from two locations.

first set: a parking garage that's sort of unique because half the lights turn off after 1am meaning that you can have strong lighting for the subject with complete darkness behind it. since you're on the top floor of the garage, no lights from the city are seen behind to distract you. i parked the car practically under the light so i just wanted half the car lit. exposure is about 6-8 seconds at ISO 50 and f3.2

the other 3 pics are taken on a bridge that's lit up with xmas lights. it's actually very dark but with a 13-15 sceond exposure at f2.8 it works out nicely. the lighting is very even, that's why i like it. the shine is just incredible....juan, your comment is interesting, i don't seem to find it near as distracting....but it's an interesting perspective.

no photoshop work in any pic except to turn the first one into grayscale.

hope that makes sense.

Cool. That's nice that they turn half of them off for you like that.

as long as they are lighter than the Slights I'm happy. I'm taking delivery of a JB MCS in next month hopefully. And I think those would look great on it.
