In the moving shots how fast is the car going? Is the person taking the pictures moving too or standing still? I assume your using a DSLR so what kind is it and what kind of lenses are you using with it? These pics look amazing I must know how you pull them off.

 

Thanks for the compliments everyone. I can't really take credit for the pics because I wasn't using my brain that day. The pictures were awesome out of Eric's camera and I'm glad he had enough trust in that I wouldn't screw them up in Photoshop.

Hey Newton, I forgot all about that. Looks great!

Eric is a professional photographer so his work usually comes out top notch. I know you like browsing photos so check out his site at http://www.razoxstudio.com. He just recently got into automotive photography and, as a career move, it seems to be heading in the right direction. With that being said, to respect his wishes, I can't really disclose what he does for the motion shots out as he does do this for a living. Newton, you know I'm more than willing to help you out with questions you may have but when I've been asked to zip it I have to respect that person's wishes. I hope you guys understand.

I, for the most part, am not a fan of monochrome or black&white photos but the scene was just right for me to give it a try. Speaking of calendars, is the current one already being produced? I haven't seen anything posted regarding its completion. I need to start doing food pics next. Your sig is making me hungry.

Thanks Ken. You know, it was supposed to be posted up in an online publication but some issues came up at the last second that wouldn't allow Eric to do so. The location is in San Diego under a bridge but I don't know if I'm allowed to disclose exact info so I'll leave it at that for now.

The camera used to take the marjority of the pics was a Canon 5D with 16-35mm L lens.

Hey Eddy, we'll provide the "film" you just provide air travel and lodging.

Thanks James. We need to do some more shots of your car (under the hood) when you get it back. The answer to your question is above.

LOL thanks Gene... BBS can just credit me some money for $300+ worth of spacers I bought from them and I'll be more than happy.

Thanks for the kind words. Your car is coming along nicely. White is right.

Mwhahaha I wish. I still have got a lot to learn in Photoshop. So many features in there I don't even use because I haven't figured out what they do yet. I learn something new with every set of pics I do.

Please refer to the answer I gave above on why I can't answer regarding the motion shots. Camera and lens used were the Canon 5d and 16-35L lens.

 

Nice shots

 

You can take as many pictures as you want with my car and you know that! How about we do a mini meet when i get my car back? Let's do lunch my treat. Let me know.

 

Incredible. Simply incredible.

I think I need a napkin.

 

awesome car, great phot skills, nothin but props to you and you're buddy. Thanks for sharing great assets.

 

Awesome. Now you just need to work on getting the car back.

Hahaha....just make sure you wash your hands before you touch my camera next weekend.

 

Ling,

You GOT MAD SKILLS bro!

 

Wow those are some great photos and one of the most beautiful C55's I've seen in a long time.

 

SICK! I love the one before last with the caliper showing, nice job on that one, and the last pic

 

Really nice pics.

 

Almost forgot about that part... lol

 

Your car is NASTY!!! Love the pictures!!

 

I don't mind the least bit and I understand.

Though, you know I'm gonna head out one of these days and attempt the shots on my own. lol

 

that looks amazing Ling! good stuff!

 

Thanks for the positive comments everyone.

By all means, go out and shoot. Practice makes perfect.



Here's a teaser of the next photo project I'm working on right now...... 996tt FTW!

 

sdsilverm3, nice pics and nice car! can you tell me how you get your front to be so low? I used kleemann lowering spring and i got the drop at the back pretty similar to yours but my front still has 2 fingers gap. I don't like the gap and want to lower it some more but was advised by my local workshop that it is not advisable to go that low cause if I break hard, the wheel will hit the fender. I was thinking of cutting the spring in front but was advise against that too. i guess the only option is to change the rubber pad to thiner one. Would appreciate your advice. Thanks.

 

The only way to get the front that low is with coilovers. I guess you can cut the springs in the front to achieve the same ride height but you do so at your own risk and not advisable. There is no spring pad to change out in the front. Your wheel shouldn't hit the fender in the front if the offset of your wheels is where it should be.

 

What great pics.

 

Incredible pics of your awesome ride!!! MORE PICS OF THAT SICK *** 996tt!!! (wish we had a drooling smiley)

 

What are you in high school? Thoughts like that only belong on a Honda Civic forum.
