EPIC Sunset Pics
I just got back from my first real photo shoot.
My neighbor just picked up a new lens for his camera and said we should take some pics of the car.
Well, tonight we just happened to have a great looking sunset, so we took off and grabbed a bunch of pictures.
I've attached some of my favorites!
What do you guys think?

Please Please Please post bigger pictures.
There are at least 4 that are background material.
Makes me drool. I wish the car was exposed just a tad better but if he was doing the pics without flashes(which I imagine he was based on the exposure) you can't do much about it. Either way, it makes my pants tight looking at them.
Hehe

Sorry guys, uploaded these quickly from my phone last night.
I've got them uploading on my computer now, and I'll get up the bigger pics.
Once we converted them to jpeg, we lost a lot of the quality, but I think they still came out better than any pics I've taken before!

In that last photo especially, I see what looks like lots of negative camber in the front end. Do you have adjustable camber plates installed on your car?
Overall look is tremendous. I wished I'd bought a Kona Blue coupe with Brembo pkg. Seeing your photos is almost torture...

High Res indeed!
Thanks man! My neighbor is the photographer this time around. He's never shot a car before, but I think he did great!

I was 100% against the Kona Blue, but my wife convinced me otherwise. 3 or 4 days into owning it, I realized that Kona ranks up there with some of the best colors Ford has ever come up with!

I regret not getting one of the blues (KB my preference) now that I've found how difficult/expensive it is to add the 'proper' color blue stripes to my car. OTOH, this white still looks clean even when it's dirty, so that's nice. But my wife has never warmed up to my 'vert.

Here you go....fixed the pictures on the OP.

I just lowered it and got Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus 275/35/19's all around. Alignment appointment is this afternoon. No adjustable camber plates, as I don't think I'll need the with just the Steeda Sports. At least I didn't need them on my '05 with the Steeda Sports.

If you get another sunset, then try some HDR shots. Not all HDR photography looks weird. As long as you do not go crazy with it, then it can look wonderful. All you have to do is put the camera on a steady tripod and take 2 pictures that are exactly the same position but with only the light (F-stop [be careful with your F-stop], ISO, or exposure time) being different. The camera should not be moved at all so that once the two pictures are taken they will match perfectly except that one looks lighter and one looks darker. One of the pictures will capture the sunset well and the other the details of the car. When someone that knows what they are doing puts the two together in Photoshop, the results will still look normal, but the car will not be lost in shadow as much.
You can get similar results from either taking a longer exposure and bringing down the brightness of the sky in Photoshop, or by adding some fill light on the car when you are taking pics. I really like the pictures, but would be interested in seeing just a little more detail on the parts of the car in shadow in some of those pics. If you can do anything of what I described me, I can help with the photoshop if you need me to. It takes me a while because I am very busy, but it is a very nice Mustang.
