New pics... (56k FTL!)

Nothing really new on the car but my friend recently got a new camera so this was like a test shoot. These shots were from his camera and the edits were done by me. I also took a couple shots on my cam too but for some reason I decided to be dumb and not use a tripod so I'm sure you guys can probably guess what happened when I got home. Anyway, I decided to try a different style edit with some of the pics. Some might like them, some might not. Those that are afraid of the dark won't.

Thanks to Eric Kieu for taking the time to do the shoot. He has started doing shoots for some well known automotive publications so congrats to him as well.

































Thanks for looking.

Great shots. Was your car actually moving when you took those "moving" shots?

Thanks. Yes the car was moving. It is impossible to blur the wheels in Photoshop while keeping the rotors/calipers still. I haven't figured out how to do it yet anyway.

Goddamn! Definately professional material. I don't understand, is the camera guy in another car moving along side?

BTW, your pictures are still on my website.

No, the only way for the camera guy to take those kind of pics is to run along side the car. Not riding in another car.

sdsilverm3 those are beautiful shots. Calendar quality. Now if MBW does calendar again for next year, they need to use one of these shots. Loved the monochrome background combined with a clean white car as the centerpiece.

Awesome Pictures Ling! Those pictures and your car in general should be in a magazine. I really love the rolling shot images.

What location is that? And also, what kind of camera is your friend using?

Wow, your car looks fantastic. Great choice of wheels too.

I love the style of the photography too very artistic.

Can't be that many white C55's out there but it's a stunning colour especially in California.
