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?

 

Awesome.

 

Epic indeed

 

cool

 

Awesome shots man especially the 4th one! Pure Sexy!

 

Classic beauty

 

Gorgeous!!

Superb job, S197 GT!!

 

Sunset?


That is a really sharp looking car!

 

Very nice

 

I don't want to be negative, but those pictures are tiny.


From what I can tell tho,

 

Nice work.

 

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!

 

Epic for sure, you've got a good eye for photography.

 

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...

 

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

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 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.

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!

 

Great looking pics and a beautiful GT!

 

Once again, the wisdom of listening to one's wife has been proven. MY wife preferred the Grabber Blue, with Kona a close second, and white a distant 3rd. Normally a blue lover, I wasn't happy with the two blue choices and picked white (basically I loved the 401A interior so much I picked that first).

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.

 

Thanks! Now I can see all that beautiful detail in all it's glory. Great looking car, brah. Excellent setting & nice photography.

 

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.
